Seesaw is a great tool to allow students to annotate their math work, whether it is solving a problem digitally or with manipulatives. By having students submit work through Seesaw, they can provide rationale for their thinking, which increases their mathematical reasoning skills. Check out the Seesaw library for mathematics for ready-made activities to get started!
While students are developing their reading and writing skills, they are also developing their verbal communication skills. Consider ways that your students can tell a story. Perhaps it is just a single picture story that they narrate on Seesaw. Maybe it is a multimedia story made up of several pages that they created on Book Creator. Or, maybe they use a green screen app like DoInk to transport themselves to distant places! The options for creativity are nearly endless!
Whether it is your classroom library or a book that they have checked out at the school's library, consider having your students create a 30-second book talk. Not only will students practice summarizing skills and identifying story elements, they will be sharing with their peers and giving them insight into stories. Consider using a tool like Flipgrid to generate QR codes to these book talks that students can scan!
Your students are ready to share what they have learned! Use the camera and annotation tools to help students make connections to real life.
In science, there are so many different cycles that students learn about and discover. These types of cycles are best represented in some visual format so that observations and inferences can be made. Students can create these organizers in a variety of ways!
