  • I keep thinking and thinking about how to connect kids if they are still apart in the fall. (Does this weigh so heavy on your heart too? πŸ’”)

These books have always been a favorite for partner reading. Perhaps they could still be read via zoom? I can picture breakout rooms with fun reading practice going on!

  • I’m sharing one of my favorite activities to do the last weeks of school. I know we aren’t in school now...but it could be a fun home activity (especially if you are still in school like me! 🀣) It’s also a good one to save for next year! πŸ‘‡πŸ»
.
I end the year with reviewing measurement. To help reinforce the concept, I love making and flying gliders with my friends. We create a runway to measure how far they fly. We just use unifix cubes, tape, and sticky notes. We use our measurements to make changes and compare our flight data. We always a blast! πŸ›«β€οΈπŸ›¬
.
My math program has directions on how to make gliders. You could just google or make paper airplanes too!

  • I discovered something today. You can use a Snap Chat filter on Zoom! 😯🀣
.
All you do is download Snap Camera at their website (I’ll link it in my profile πŸ‘†πŸ») Then, you change your camera settings on Zoom and - voila! - you are now nice and fancy!

This definitely helped brighten my day. It’s the little things that count as we are living this crazy life! πŸ’—

Although it is far from a replacement, the Bitmoji classroom idea sure makes things feel more familiar! Have you tried it yet? I can see myself spending hours creating different ones...😜

  • I am a huge fan of social stories. They have always helped my students, and my own children so much. That is why I was so thankful when I saw this perfect social story from @autismlittlelearners!

In Chicago you must wear a mask. When Leo sees us in a mask, he’s been scared and unsure. I haven’t even attempted to figure out how to get him in one. I’m sure many of you are in the same boat.
