Seesaw

Seesaw is a digital platform where students use creative tools to take pictures, draw, record videos, and more to capture learning in a portfolio. It's also a tool for me to communicate and share what we're learning in the classroom. You won’t want to miss a single post! Seesaw is private; you'll only see posts created by me or your child.
