Hi There, It's Melissa from The Adventures of Room 83!

Hi Everyone! I am Melissa and I am BEYOND honored to join this group of fabulous women here on A Special Sparkle!  I am learning so much from these fabulous teachers and what they have shared so far! I love the idea of a collaborative blog!

So here's a little about me!  I am from Pasadena, Ca and still live near by!  I am just about to start my third year teaching a 3-6 grade severely handicapped class.  I absolutely love my job and everything else that is included!  I recently began blogging and am officially addicted! I am the author of The Adventures of Room 83: Where Extra Special Teaching Takes Place!  I love sharing and networking with other educators out there!  In my classroom we focus on functional communication, independent living and self-help skills. 

I am thankful to these ladies for allowing me to join this blog to share with you my journey as a teacher!  I am excited for the future for A Special Sparkle and to see where this next journey takes me :)
