ABCYa K-1 Reference Sheet: while ABCYa is full of wonderful activities that support students in learning the mouse and keyboard, they should only be doing the activities that are aligned with these or other computer skills. I've started a document listing which games are aligned to which skills, plus some seasonal choices. I'll continue building this document, so let me know if there's anything which should be added.

Emergency plans: some printable worksheets that you'll want to have handy in case the Internet and power go down, I've also included some options that can be done without any preparation. LINK HERE

As you are able: Add the shortcut to Clever (https://clever.com/in/nashua) to each student's (especially K/1) desktop.

Google Classroom Template: I made this template for the year, please join through THIS CODE and I'll elevate you to teacher status so that you can make copies. THIS six-minute Loom video will help to refresh you on how to do this.
