2.  First time posting?

Are you wondering where to start with your students?  Our advice- Start Small, then build up to incorporating the other features.

Here are a few suggestions for first time posts that can be used/adapted for any grade level:

• Students take a picture of something in the classroom.  Have the students draw or record on the picture.  This could be something they are excited to learn about this year, some class rules, or maybe their desk with a recording of what they hope to accomplish this year.  
• Students take a picture of the book they are reading.  They can simply post the picture, or they could record themselves explaining why they chose the book.

• Students take a selfie.  They use the Text tool to record 3 words to describe themselves.
• Students can take a picture of most anything they have created this week- perhaps it's their goals for the year, a realistic drawing or creation of themselves, or a picture of something they created after a read-aloud story.  

3.  Family Invitations-  

In the Pennridge letter that was sent home with your family QR codes earlier this year, we asked parents to sign-up for Seesaw by September 6.  Knowing that the beginning of the year is quite hectic, we wanted to show you how you can invite those families that have yet to join your class.  Follow the quick steps HERE to print those families' QR codes.  This ONLY needs to be done by homeroom teachers, as the codes will be the same for a student that is dual-enrolled in more than one class.  Any questions, just ask!
