Who wants to be a winner?
NAME IT, CLAIM IT, EXPLAIN IT.....Continue to Brag It Up and share the great things that are going on in your classroom. Take a photo of something you are very proud of in your classroom. This could be an instructional strategy that is effective with your students, classroom management strategy/tool, something new you are trying this year, etc. Post the photo along with a brief description on our Google Community page. At a staff meeting, I will share the photo and as the teacher, you will need to NAME IT, CLAIM IT & EXPLAIN IT!
