Last week’s fun Friday... Harry Potter!!! We read an adapted version of The Socerer’s Stone, played a How Well do You Know? Game and did Harry Potter Money Math #harrypotter #specialeducation #distancedlearning #virtuallearning #necsd #newburghschools #goldbackshiftsquad

So excited to start our 2020-2021 convergence!!! #goldbackshiftsquad

Ahoy it’s a boy! Caitlin Smith and I are hosting a virtual shower next month for baby Luca 💙💙

A week ago I openly admitted Bitmoji classrooms were my tech weakness going into the 20/21 school year. Today, I have my Bitmoji classroom, an interactive indoor recess classroom and 6 virtual libraries linked to the bookcases of my Bitmoji classroom #goldbackshiftsquad #bitmoji

Today’s passion projects: interactive notebooks! I created a gratitude journal with mood meter check ins and gratitude pages for my students to use to prepare for our morning and closing meetings. #goldbackshiftsquad #necsd #sel #specialeducationteacher #remoteteaching

Instead of posting so many novel student slides, I created an interactive virtual novel study notebook. Still a work in progress but so excited to work on this passion project #goldbackshiftsquad #necsd #remoteteaching #distancelearning2020 #ELA #specialeducationteacher

I am beginning to plan out my Fun Friday themes for next school year. Any suggestions? Past themes include: Star Wars, Legos, Harry Potter and carnival. #distancelearning #remoteteaching #SpecialEducation #necsd #goldbackshiftsquad #hybridnation #teaching #education

Worked on three projects this weekend, Hispanic heritage Virtual library with #flipgrid Prompts, Toy Story Fun Friday and Inside Out SEL fun Friday. #remoteteaching #distancelearning #goldbackshiftsquad #necsd #specialeducation #sel

Tomorrow is the first day of school for #necsd. So many feelings, so many unknowns but for sure I'm excited to embark on 2020-2021 with my 4th/5th Gators. We will be #embracingchange in Mrs. Bonilla's class. Here's to my 9th year in education! #SpecialEducation #remoteteaching

In my 9 years teaching today was filled with many firsts for a first day of school. First time teaching virtual, first time I had full parental involvement and communication, first time kids emailed me for more assignments. Here's to many more firsts! #embracingchange

Tomorrow will be the 1st Fun Friday for 20/21. Theme is Toy Story, because in our class you got a friend in me! Students can participate via Google Meet or independently by clicking my “watch me” avatar. #SpecialEducation #necsd #goldbackshiftsquad #remoteteaching #shoulderup
