Digital Citizenship.
Remember that your Digital Citizenship lessons have a due date. Your site administrator may have shared that timeline with you.  You are required to teach 3 lessons. The link is HERE. Let me know if you need help with this process. I am willing to help you. 


Wahoooo Resources. Free. Free. Free. Don’t you just enjoy when teacher give things away for free?! Here is the resource fountain you have been searching for. Shout out to Karena Cantrell (IT Coach) for introducing me to this site. Tons and tons of Google templates to download for free. You can drop a link into chat and have students respond live in Zoom. Or you can distribute these as assignments in Google Classroom. Math. Science. ELA. SEL. The list keeps going and going. It is marvelous. LINK HERE Free. It’s free.

Crash Course Kids
. Are you looking for quality YouTube content for Science? See if any of these videos might work for you. If you are using EdPuzzle, drop that video in and add a few questions.  You now have teaching and mini-assessment wrapped into one. I do not overwhelming approve of the entire bank of resources. My recommendation is always this: vet the material before you share it.

Toy Theater. Shout out to Karena Cantrell (IT Coach) who shared this with me. These resources can be used in a variety of ways: Math, Science, ELA, fine motor skills, sequential analysis, and more. When you scroll down the page, there are manipulatives. Not all children will have base ten blocks or a spinner at home, but now they do. See if this can help you teach those foundational or essential concepts. LINK HERE


YouTube. If you aren’t subscribed and receiving email notifications when my videos post, there are a few new ones in there.
      a) AE / Edgenuity – This may or may not work. AE does not have an app yet. I found a workaround, but those are only as good as the software version at the time. Share with parents if you find it helpful.
      b) Drop a timer into Zoom. Thank you to Courtney Casaroli who shared that idea with me.
      c) Are your students using Accelerated Reader at home? Do your second graders know how to use that? What about students who are new to your site? Share that video with anyone who may need it.
      d) How do you use Notes in the iPhone to create a PDF? Then how do I get that onto Google Classroom? There’s a video for that now too.

You are a phenomenal group of educators. Keep up the great work!
