THE BIG LAUNCH !!!!!!!!
SEE SAW
We have just Launched See Saw for our senior infants . It is an interacitve platform which will greatly enhance our learning at home . Everybody should have recieved a code with clear instructions on how to join See Saw. We hope to see you all over there !!! Please take the time to join us .
What is See Saw ?
Seesaw is a platform for student engagement. Teachers can empower students to create, reflect, share, and collaborate. Students “show what they know” using photos, videos, drawings, text, PDFs, and links. It’s simple to get student work in one place and share with families, and nothing is shared without teacher approval.
Hello Everyone !!!!
We all hope that you and your family are safe and well. We will be updating our Senior infant webpage throughout our stay at home. We hope you enjoy it !
Please remember we are not website experts !! If you have any problems or suggestions please let us know (send an email).
