Teamwork is not a virtue. It is a choice—and a strategic one.

Rainbow Pasta Phonics today Blue Haze Elementary while identifying consonants and vowels. 🎉 #fortheloveoffirsrgrade #bluehazeelementary #empoweringbears

Today I let control go and let Ss lead the learning in the #numbertalk. Their academic vocabulary had me amazed. I cannot wait to see their growth continue! 🎉

Well this is accurate 😅

Thank you Flippity for making me a better teacher! Ninja Turtle Word Problem review coming soon! 🎉 #fortheloveoffirstgrade

Hey Flippity I need help! I want to use the scavenger hunt feature but want to use an image on the opening site. What am I doing wrong? #ninjaturtlebreakout #imobsessed

Today I left school EXCITED. I’m struggling with engaging my students this year. The Ss I struggle with the most was the MOST ENGAGED today! His eyes wouldn’t leave the game board unless he was answering a question. TY Flippity for helping this struggling teacher! 😭💕

High expectations or low expectations, students generally live up to what we expect. The same can be said for adults.

What makes a school a better place? People who go beyond their job description. I looked up to find a custodian Blue Haze Elementary opening lunch items. THIS IS WHAT MAKES OUR WORLD BETTER. Ms. PAULINA makes me want to be better! White Settlement ISD has no idea how blessed they are. 😭

Blue Haze Elementary first grade classrooms transformed into oceans today. After reading Three Little Fish and the Big Bad Shark, students answered math review questions so they could earn keys to unlock a Breakout box. #empoweringbears Blue Haze Elementary Katie 💕 Ms. Caruso

A1: Communication, collaboration, problem solving, knowing your audience, and an online presence #DigCit2021

A2: Maybe bc I teach 1st gr. I honestly do not think you can ever "know" your Ss will make good decisions online. You can only model, model, model and allow them opportunities to show you they are learning how to make good decisions by giving autonomy. #DigCit2021

A3: I think Ts and parents should be on the same team! I think the same vocabulary would be intentional and provide cool collab. But realistically Ts should bring a professional view and parents should bring that personal view. #DigCit2021

A4: I have used it in my classroom but I have also used Flocabulary which I found more beneficial for my first graders! #DigCit2021
