KSU Coach          

Schedule: I will be supporting High Point virtually on Monday 3/25, Tuesday 3/26 as well as Friday 3/29. 

Notes: Check out this tip from @Seesaw on Twitter. Differentiation on Seesaw is easy! Have extension - and support - activities for students to work on throughout their rotations by naming activities 'Finished Early?' OR 'Need Help'

Highlights: The week before Spring Break can be kind of crazy, as we will all be antsy for our time off. I can help you keep students engaged throughout next week with some virtual activities - such as a read aloud OR a Google Tour through Springtime destinations.
