178. What Is Your Classroom Telling You Before Summer?

The end of the school year reveals a lot about how a classroom is really functioning.

In this episode, we’re talking about what late May behavior, routines, and classroom energy might actually be telling you — especially in special education classrooms where so much depends on structure and predictability.

Inside this episode:

🟡 Why some routines are still working (even when everyone is tired)
🟡 What end-of-year exhaustion reveals about classroom systems
🟡 How to notice which routines truly support independence
