Other Things to Consider

1. Writing Paper

Part of your students work in routines, comprehension and writing will ask them to write on paper at home. Consider sending home an literacy and/or writing journal. They are given the option of taking a picture of their work or saving it in a folder. How might this best work with your class? Be sure to review expectations of bringing work back to class or emailing it to you. Sometimes they will be asked to submit pictures through Nearpod.
