to AD! Glad to hear that you enjoy signing and good luck with your chosen career.
to AllDeaf forum. Enjoy reading and posting all the threads here. See you around. 
Please don't be like the teacher in the movie of "Children of lesser God" wanting us Deafies to talk and lipread. Let us learn the education by sign language or ASL and not have to try to talk as we are not perfect. We can make it in the world better than hearing people. Just don't look down on us. Anyway,
I am going to be getting my masters in special ed i hope to do what you did move around but i can see how its hard to teach the same thing over and over again in different ways.... I am looking into doing 2nd grade bc the kids will already be able to read and i remember falling in love with books in the 2nd grade. I have always had a great vision of taking a chapter book and adapting a lesson plan in all subjects around that book science and math and social studies even in PE maybe and health...that way children can see language ( english that is the second language ) in many different aspects...Wellll every year, I have been moved from grade to grade depending on the number of students. My first year, I taught PreK kids with severe additional needs especially behavior disorders, 2nd year..taught 3rd graders with moderate to provode MR/austism, 3rd year...taught 1st graders with language delays, 4th year..taught 2nd graders with language delays, 5th year..taught 1st graders with language delays and this year 3rd graders who do not have additional needs nor language delays. It was a nice change this year to really see kids learn and just teach the material no more than 2 times while in the past, I taught the same thing over and over again in different ways. Ha!
i think children are worth more then their weight in gold! and i cannot wait to watch their eyes grow wide when i show them all i can about the world!!!
where are you from? are youhearing or deaf i saw that you are from the evergreen state that is where i am now home for the summer!
