Emergency Sub Plans for Chester's Way

SEESAW PRELOADED LINKS FOR Kindergarten and First Grade Activities and MORE: Distance learning can be challenging. Whether your school has had a closing or a student has an extended absence, it can be hard to pull lesson plans together quickly. These Seesaw Activities for kindergarten and first grade make it EASY.

I have prepared a week-long set of student distance learning activities that will be easy to send out to parents. I have made the parent pack its own PDF so you don't need to scramble to send it out. There is NO PREP for you! WHEW! I have included QR codes that students can play that explains the activity! ANOTHER WHEW!

ADD THESE TO YOUR SEESAW ACCOUNT WITH JUST ONE CLICK OF A LINK

These activities accompany the book Chester's Way. A QR code will take the students to a recording of the book on YouTube. BONUS... each activity is preloaded to Seesaw! You just click the link in the READ ME FIRST PDF and your activity is loaded into your Seesaw library.

FAQ:

Q: Can I see a step by step process on how to load the files to Seesaw?

A: Yes! Click on the preview video I have made or click HERE.

Q: How does this connect to Seesaw?

A: Inside the download, you will find a file called READ ME FIRST. The links for each activity for the week. You simply click on the link (inside of the PDF) and it will ask if you want to add it to your Seesaw library. How EASY IS THAT!?

Q: Will these files also work in Google Classrooms?

A: We have added a PowerPoint version and the moveable parts/backdrop screen have all been saved as individual files. You can upload them to your Google Classroom account.

Q: Do you need my Seesaw login information?

A: No, inside of the document, there are links. As you click on the links, the lesson will be added to YOUR set Seesaw activities. It does not matter if your TpT email is different than your Seesaw email.

Q: Can I share these files with my parents?

A: These files are meant to be shared. They may not be placed on a school-wide server that is not password protected.

Q: Can I share these files with my team:

A. This purchase is for a single classroom use only. You may purchase an additional license if you wish to share the files with another teacher.

Q: Will my parents need a different login to use these activities.

A: No, these activities will be added to your library and you can assign them as usual.

Q: Can I edit the audio of the premade Seesaw activities.

A: This file includes the images so you can certainly make your own directions to the tasks.

Q: I'm having trouble loading the activities into my Seesaw account.

A: Please know that Seesaw is a bit busy right now. A trick is to log out of your account then click the link in the PDF again. That seems to work perfectly. You may need to repeat these steps of logging out and then clicking the links. We hope that with time Seesaw's site will be less overwhelmed.

Q: Will these work on Google Classroom, One Drive, Canva, Class Dojo?

A: As I am not fully versed on those platforms, I will say this. You will be given a PowerPoint version of the file. You will also get a PNG file for each backdrop screen and every movable piece.
