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!
Poetry can be a great way for students to express their creativity about a certain topic. Consider using some of these different magnetic poetry templates from Kasey Bell as a starter, or create your own templates using vocabulary words that your students are learning.
Whatever the theme is, there is most likely some sort of template out there! Check out this resource from Eric Curts on winter time activities. Students can create a snowman and then write a brief paragraph describing their snowman. Build in creativity skills as well as writing skills!
Develop reading comprehension of nonfiction and fiction passages with a variety of topics, questions, and supports for different learners. Use a tool like this regularly to identify areas of weakness in reading comprehension and develop persistence in reading.
Google Earth has so much to offer when learning about social studies. While students might be somewhat familiar with their own region, there is plenty of earth out there to be explored! Use Google Earth to bring students to various geographical regions to help them understand what life is like or may have been like for people living in those regions.
When exploring historical US monuments, consider using Google Earth to physically see these monuments. Students can explore by looking at these monuments from different views and share their noticing and wondering with the class.
The HMH publishing company has developed different Google Expeditions for their science units, allowing you to guide students as they explore the world.
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!
Seesaw - Provide students with a template of a cycle, such as the water cycle. Allow students to label the parts and then record audio to explain how the cycle works.
Google Slides - An example for this might be the food chain. Students could start from scratch, or you could provide students with different ecosystems for food chains, such as oceans, forests, etc. Students could have some different living species off to the side of the slide, and they can add these into their diagram and label them. These can then be turned into Seesaw with an additional audio narration explaining the cycle.
