Bitmoji Bingo

Looking for a fun way to connect with students during this Distance Learning time? Maybe Bitmoji Bingo is for you!

I have been seeing the idea of sending Bitmojis to your students to take on an adventure similar to Flat Stanley. So, my partner and I decided to change it up a little bit and create a Bitmoji Bingo for students to complete. They will try and take a picture/selfie with our Bitmoji and get 3 in a row or a Blackout!

They can print out our Bitmoji or save it to their iPad/phone and take a picture with us that way. 

 I created a short explanation video for student and parents along with a PDF of directions and a JPEG file of our Bitmoji and Bingo sheet to print. Click here for a editable copy.

To share the fun with one another, I created a Padlet link for them to share their selfies with us!

I can't wait to "hang" out with our students this week!

My thoughts on Transformation- A present day activity

I've heard Jillian Michaels say "Transformation isn't a future event, it is a present activity." in her workout video to me several times while we've been quarantined at home. This quote has stuck with me and challenged me each day. 

The phrase PRESENT ACTIVITY has been pressed on my heart. What can I do TODAY to transform myself? It doesn't matter if I'm at home during quarantine or going about life as normal, I believe that transformation should always be occurring. Transformation isn't just physical. It can also be spiritual, professional, personal, emotional, mental, etc. The degree of transformation will fluctuate depending on what you are working on. But, I believe it is also a mindset. You must want the transformation to take place, but the great thing is it doesn't happen in one day or disappear in a slip up of one day. Transformation happens as you take the step now, in the PRESENT time! 

I know I've had to transform the way I'm teaching, reaching my students, connecting with my family, finding time for me, etc during these days at home. I'm learning to let go of control and refocus my priorities to what really matters. Let's look at all the new and uncertain times/things we're asked to do as a way to transform ourselves and become even stronger!

So, I challenge you during this time of social distancing ask yourself these questions: What area of my life do I want to transform? How can I improve? What can I do each day to make myself and those around me better?
