Review Lesson Plans

Your next step is to open a resource document from Seesaw. Remember, there are parts of it that are irrelevant to our district that you will skip over.

The resource document contains materials that you may want to use with your students. These include:

Lesson 1: Introduction to Seesaw/Create a Post (the rest is not specific to SPS)

 Lesson 2: Respond to an Activity

Please IGNORE all sign in information contained in the document.

Responding to Activities

Teaching your students how to respond to an activity (Lesson 2) is critical.
