    You may be wondering what to expect or what is going to happen. I am here to tell you that your visit may look different based on your age, medical history, care provider, and more; however, I want to share with you what happened at my first prenatal visit.

You can never assume, no matter the age of the students, that they understand how to behave inside of your classroom.

This space is safe and filled with objects that will assist the child with regulating their emotions. Too much clutter can cause overstimulation and potentially a mess. I have not always…
