make a menu and a food themed bitmoji room

I was lucky enough to visit a second grade classroom this week to share a bitmoji food themed library I curated. It is a WONDERFUL class, because the teacher is ALWAYS on. I do not think she stops, sits down, or rests until the kids are home for the summer. Mrs. H. allowed me some time to share the room with the kids and to show them examples of restaurant menus that were kid friendly (lots to find with any google image search). They even had some good suggestions of books I should have added to the room!

We looked at the elements of design of these menus and then we had some free drawing time to illustrate a menu of their own featuring their favorite foods (some from the titles they choose to read first). Visit http://bit.ly/bgbsfoodie and make your own copy to edit as you like.

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!

three bitmoji rooms for November

November brings the usual Thanksgiving reading and activities, but I decided to celebrate with three different bitmoji rooms to spread out the theme goodness. This week is Polar Bear Week, so first a Polar Bear reading room! (http://bit.ly/bgsbpolar) There are even polar bear noises, which may be my favorite part of the room. I also made a room to celebrate CANDY because who doesn’t have buckets of the stuff the week after Halloween? And then there’s the Thanksgiving and friendship reading room (bit.ly/bgbsthanks). I always include both because some families don’t have big Thanksgiving celebrations.
