Load this onto the activity page of your Seesaw account. Students will have to solve the what's my rule problems before making one of their own that includes an answer key. I printed out the student made what's my rule problems and made a class book out of them that students could work on!

Interactive sports centers help student become engaged in learning the basics of force and motion. The packet includes thinking questions for students to complete before the activity (they can do this independently or with groups), a chart for notes during the activities, a reflection question, a teacher cheat sheet (including a hint of how to use Seesaw with this activity), and direction sheets for each center.

I create STEM packets for my students to use during our entire STEM project time. This packet includes thinking questions, materials needed, sketching spot, a procedure writing activity, and a reflection portion! I found my students more engaged when they had everything they needed right from the start!

I used this template right before lent began. Students thought about the three aspects of lent (prayer, almsgiving, and fasting) before writing down goals they had during Lent. In my classroom we upload this template to Seesaw so students could type or draw their goals in each box; I had many parents love commenting on these and started great conversations at home! You could also just print them out and have students complete a paper copy!

Students are in charge of planning a weekend trip for their family. They need to figure out how much they will spend as well as making sure everyone is happy! I used it in partners at the end of the year.

I use this during center time where students listen to the story independently but you could also use this as a whole group lesson. Students listen to the story Thank You Mr. Falker by Patricia Polacco, and then answer some guided questions that help them focus on her writing style. When I use this during center time I have a QR printed that takes them to a youtube reading of the story. Students then are encourag

I hand this out to my students during our writing time. It helps cut down on the what to do next question and allows students to work at their own pace.

Sometimes life get a little hectic in the classroom and a reflection is needed! I used this sheet during bell work and have student really think about why certain rules are in place. I found students were more accountable when they reflected about the rules as well as thought about what consequences should follow.

Reading Response questions with tips for how to complete. (Great for if you need to send home for homework or want to complete the reading response as an independent center).
