A question I get asked quite often is how can student icons be changed! This cheat sheet shows you how to walk through it and change the icon they might have been pre allocated. You can even use student photos or other images instead of the Seesaw provided ones! 
 I love STEAM or STEM time (whichever you prefer to say/use) and have created these task cards to bring STEAM or STEM time into your classroom with a fairy tale/nursery rhyme theme. This resource is something I am really passionate about, as are my kids! How these have been working is we watch a matching video clip or story from Youtube. We have some thinking and question time to connect with the story and the activity that we will be working on. I then give students the activity prompt and we discuss what it could look like. Of course aspects like class materials need to be talked about especially if there is something you do/don't want students to use while completing the activity. Check out some of the pictures of my class creations with the activities!
 Since coming back from the lockdown, I have continued to run a choice board similar to our home learning one that I had underway for distant learning. It involved a must-do and you pick activities students can use and choose from in their learning. I really wanted it to be a smooth transition back into the classroom so have continued this for the last two weeks. I have seen so much more engagement from my students and general enthusiasm for learning from them. So how does it work? Each week I provide 4 must-do activities for my students to complete in our literacy block. These are activities that must be completed by the end of the week. Students can choose which one they do, when they do them and what other activities they want to complete after or before. My students have completed these in varying orders with some completing all the must-dos on Monday and then using the other three days to have free pick. Others have left it all to the last day and some do one must-do a day. There is no right or wrong way and I am there to assist where need be.
Here I am showing you how it works, how students access it and what it looks like from a student point of view. I also attach my iPad to the wall using command hooks so students don't need to take it away and can go to one place to log the information. My students also use the class iPads to log their choices too, with this one being an extra option too.
Class goals are a great way to work on something as a collective in your classroom. I have used classroom goals for over three years, adapting templates as I go depending on my students needs. These two templates are my go too templates that can be used in different ways.
Make a copy of these templates below! Adapt them to have them represent your class values, goals or needs! Download the last template!
I have these template in both my Skip counting and maths packs. I love this because it is perfect for junior students with a space to solve the problem, write a number sentence and then the answer. The reflection part is a great way for students to reflect on the learning which could help with teacher groups or next steps.
This template is on google drawings, with a space for you to write your own problems before printing off. This could be used on paper, google classroom, or put onto Seesaw as an activity.  The bitmoji craze is continuing, this time with desktop backgrounds! These are so fun and just another way of integrating Bitmoji into your lives. You can design these anywhere - on drawings, slides, powerpoint. Done with text boxes, shapes and background colours. So fun, easy to personalise & add bitmoji to your computer desktop background. You could combine bitmoji desktop backgrounds with personalised folders too to add more excitement to your desktop.

Level 2 means schools are open again and that means teachers and students are to return for a new norm. What will it look like? I don't know. But one thing is for sure, I will be continuing on with my digital skills that I have using during distant learning. A huge part of this is using Seesaw.
What are some things you can do to keep Seesaw going in your classroom?
If you have any questions or need anymore help please send an email or a message and I would be more than happy to help you out!
 New Zealand schools are going back on Monday 18 May. This will look very different to our normal classroom routine before the COVID-19 and will mean lots of changes for health and hygiene practices. But nevertheless, there is opportunity for reflection and learning from what we have all been through.
