december bitmoji rooms and sweater fun

I have to admit that I enjoy making winter bitmoji rooms the MOST. I mean, I actually looked forward to editing my bitmoji’s outfit for winter weather. I really need a vacation in real winter weather! Click on the image to get a copy of the google slide that you can use to make your own copy and edit. Add these to Schoology, share for extension time…whatever works for you! I also have a google drawing file you can pair with the Sweater Slide to have students practice using the shape tool to create a sweater design. Each room has links to read alouds, themed poems, drawing activities and more!

happy Star Wars day!

My family is full of Star Wars nerds, we watched the original films over and over. We watched them at the $1 movie on weekends, on VHS with popcorn at home, and reluctantly tried the “new” movies as they came out. I don’t think my dad will ever watch all of the newest films, but here’s to hope. To celebrate this year I made this choice board (using Google slides) for elementary students. I spent way too much time on the sticker board from Disney, it is adorable! Click the image for the linked web version. #geekon

earth day choice board

Here’s a choice board for elementary students to celebrate upcoming Earth Day! I am a HUGE believer in getting conversation and vocabulary examples out there by using fun clips like the ones below from Peppa, Peep, and the best and original- Sesame Street. Think a 5th grader won’t watch Sesame Street? I have empirical evidence that says they will (12 years worth). Also, embedding these in your lesson helps language learners and those with language delays get ready for the discussion or assignment in a fun, silly way. There is also the small matter of Peppa being my favorite pig ever. Happy Earth Day! (click image for full screen or use this link to share: https://bit.ly/FESEDay)
