*Please note: The Google Slides and Seesaw formats include links to YouTube videos, so ensure you and your students have access to YouTube if you plan to use these formats. Although great care has been taken to ensure all content is appropriate for the stated grade levels, each classroom is unique and it is recommended that teachers review all content before use. If you are using Google Slides, I recommend embedding the videos to avoid ads and other YouTube page content that some users may find inappropriate. Instructions for embedding the videos are included and it should only take a few minutes. Also, keep in mind that any links to third-party content may be changed or removed by the content owner. All links are reviewed & updated regularly; however, if you find a broken link, please let me know so I can update the resource accordingly.
