The Butler First Graders have survived 3 months on distance learning. So, the only logical next step is to. . .GO TO DISNEY WORLD. I had a blast working with my team (@CB_KMcauliffe , @CBMrsGelb , @MissBortz , @CBMissGarner , @cbmrsfernandez & Jess) #CBDBL @CBButlerElem

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

@CBMrsGelb @dubinski_katie @CBMissGarner @CB_KMcauliffe I’m in!

If we can’t go to the zoo, at least Mrs. Dubinski can bring the zoo to us!

[Katie Dubinski @dubinski_katie]

When your field trip to the Philadelphia Zoo was supposed to be tomorrow, you create your own Virtual Philly Zoo trip for writing! Please forgive my horrible DJ voice 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ @phillyzoo #CBDBL #CBPROUD

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

@dubinski_katie @phillyzoo Thank you again for doing this!!! Love you 🥰

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

Can't wait to read these books to kids together - in person! - again soon! But this was a fun project in the meantime :)

When you and your bestie @MissBortz use technology to record a book during Mo Willem’s week.

The Primary Wing came to sleigh all day, but especially at the Holiday Sing 🎶 🛷

Hey @6abc @DunkinPhilly look how students @CBButlerElem celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the Thanksgiving Parade! Students created a parade balloon, attached it to a @WonderWorkshop Dash robot, then #coded it to move along a parade route. @WeVideo @CB_MrsWilson @DoInkTweets

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

This was such a fun project to be a part of! My firsties loved every second of it 💚🐻

[Action News on 6abc @6abc]

The Butler Elementary School's version of the 6abc Dunkin' Thanksgiving Day Parade has it all from Rainbow the balloon which celebrates "all that is good in the rain forest" to Snoopy to a stylish Jim Gardner-esque mustache! https://t.co/ylGCCeN4rv

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

We have had so much fun working on this with our buddies! Thanks again for including us Mrs. Augustine 🤗

[Bridget Augustine @QUESTbauggie]

@CBButlerElem .... something BIG is happening!!! Parade “balloons” are ready to code! Butler LIVE will be broadcasting our Thanksgiving Day Parade this Friday sponsored by 1 Bortz and 5 Maduzia. #creativityisfun @WonderWorkshop #WLRC

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

Another incredible assembly honoring our true American heroes - especially my personal favorite veteran, my dad 💙🇺🇸❤️

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

Heigh ho, heigh ho, it’s off to the parade we go!

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

Thanks @KimberlyMaduzia and our 5th grade buddies for helping us log in to (and explore) the laptops for the first time!

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

@DaileySuzanne I work with amazing people, but special shout out to one of my very best friends - at school and in life - @dubinski_katie. So glad you are FINALLY my teammate again after meeting at Linden in 2011! I am a better teacher and person because of your positive influence every day 💚

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

@CB_KMcauliffe Love it! Doing it as a warm up tomorrow 👍🏻

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

@CB_KMcauliffe @DaileySuzanne You make my mentor job easy 😉 I’m so grateful you joined us this year!!!

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

Since the first day of school I’ve simply asked Ss “what do we know about the number...” It’s amazing to see how much their math brains have grown already! So many more ideas on day 15 than day 1 🤗 It’s not fancy, but it leads amazing conversations 👍🏻

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

@CBtmfoster Thanks! It’s a work in process 😉

[Miss Bortz @MissBortz]

June 17 ➡️ August 29; the summer flew by but I am refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready for my newest group of little learners🐻💚
