Seesaw: An online learning journal

Hello parents!

Fourth graders will begin to use Seesaw, an app that allows them to upload some of their projects to a private page so that they can share them with you at home. Your child will be bringing home a letter with instructions for accessing their page. You can even give feedback by leaving a comment!

Students are finishing up a Civil War project where they used the app Shadow Puppet Edu to create a video presentation about 5 people, places, or events of their choice. Please take a few minutes to check out their hard work!

Seesaw, along with Google Classroom, which many fourth graders have begun to use in writing, is a great tool for giving feedback and praise to your child!

Our Seesaw Tips:
1. Be constructive! Learning a new skill is hard and we need your help.
2. Specific comments are best. Think about how you can add to the learning conversation.
3. In a group or ‘everyone’ post, please remember your comment is shared with everyone tagged – students and their parents. This is a great opportunity to lift up the whole class!

Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions regarding Seesaw, Google Classroom, or any of the other educational technologies we are using in Room 25.

Have a great day!

Ms. Becker
