TRIMESTER ONE

Publish Writing in SeeSaw

SeeSaw is a fantastic way to capture and share student growth in writing. Parents and students love to see the growth from the beginning to the end of the year.

Record Writer's Workshop

Students take a photo of their writing and tap the microphone to read their writing.
Then students listen to at least 3 other pieces and provide specific, positive comments.

Publish Your Writing!1. Click :add: Add RESPONSE 2. Click :photo: and take a picture of your writing. 3.Click :caption: to give a title to your story or assignment 4. Click :rec: to READ your writing aloud. 5. Click :pause: when done to listen to your story. 6. Click :check: when ready to turn in your work.

TRIMESTER TWO

Google Docs and Writer's Workshop

By third grade, all students should be able to type and draft their writing in Google Docs by the second trimester. Google Docs will be used for peer feedback and collaboration during the writing process.

Writer's Workshop - with Google DocsAfter drafting your writing in Google Docs, 1. Use the :upload: tool to post it from Google Drive to your SeeSaw journal. 2. :mic:Record yourself reading your writing with expression. 3. Use the :caption: tool to add a title.

Typing Practice

For typing practice, all 3rd graders have Typing Club accounts accessed via Clever. Typing should be assigned for a few minutes for several days in a row. Practicing typing only once a week is not effective.

TRIMESTER THREE

Multi Page Books with SeeSaw

Students collaborate in Google Docs to give writing feedback and revise. Students use the new multi page option in SeeSaw to share a longer piece of writing with a buddy class.

SeeSaw at Open House!

Put iPads or Chromebooks out at Open House so that students can complete this activity with their family.
Post this Activity in advance with a note to parents so that they can do the activity from home if they are unable to attend Open House.
If you prefer to have families use their phones, then have students make a journal post that families could leave a comment on and simply print out the QR codes to student assignments. Directions are below.

Here are some helpful tips as you end your school year with SeeSaw and get ready for Open House:

How do we print out thumbnails and QR codes for a student’s entire journal for Open House? (note should NOT be done in color at 12￠ per page and set printing to print 9 pages on one page)
How do I get a QR code for a Seesaw post?
How do I tell viewers what to do with the QR code?
How do families and students download an archive of student work?
How long do families have access to their child’s Seesaw journal?
