@teachergoals I’ve used this many times….especially during the beginning of my career! 🤣

Do you know what this is?

@garonnevik OMG! This is the BEST!! 🤣😂🤣

Fun fact. My sister is a teacher at a fancy-shmancy school down in California. Years ago, I visited her classroom, thinking we were going to talk about farming or something, but apparently my sister rewards her kids by telling (embellished) stories of my spunky antics as a child. Like instead of earning pizza parties, they earn “Gretchen stories.” I walked down the hallway, and kids were whispering to each other and pointing at me. I look like my sister, and kids starting coming up to me “are you THE Gretchen? Like with the green beans?” Sigh. Yes. Yes I am.

@eileenpglass @KLHerring1 LOVE this!!!!!

I taught a past/present lesson this am in Kindergarten. Then the students created a “Past” flag depicting items from the past and made their flag come alive using AR. We had so much fun “flying” our flags!🏳️ #AugmentedReality @jennthomas75 @ParkView21 @PortsVASchools @wl2tch

After making our holiday videos to send to all the students at @ParkView21 the kindergarteners had so much fun watching their creations! 😁 @jennthomas75 @PortsVASchools #PPS #ppsshines

The Kindergarteners in Ms Moguel’s class wanted to wish everyone at @ParkView21 a Happy Holiday, Happy New Year and a wonderful break….so of course we made a video to send out to the staff! @jennthomas75 @PortsVASchools #ppsshines #greenscreen

After we made our Shadows green screen video, we played them on the big screen for the whole class to see! It was sooo exciting! 📺 @ParkView21 @Dr_Angie19 @PortsVASchools @jennthomas75 #ppsva #ppsshines

Kindergarteners used our green screen wall to make videos about shadows today….and then we walked back to the classroom like penguins! 🐧🤣 @jennthomas75 @PortsVASchools @Dr_Angie19 #ppsva #ppsshines @TCCoxNichols @ParkView21
