Todayi subbed for a pre K sped class and I started at 9:30 am and got off at 1:30 pm. It was pretty easy only 5 kids on the spectrum and all of them were sweet and no meltdowns!

But the coolest thing it was Ruby Bridges day and all the other classes walked around the block to remember the bravery of Ruby Bridges!
