Engaging in Seesaw with your children
As you are aware, Seesaw is an online platform that allows you to engage with what your children are doing in class. Teachers use this to share work your child has done throughout the term. I recently asked my Mathematics students (a very small sample) whether or not they discussed their learning on Seesaw with their parents and it would appear that not many had done so. Discussing what is happening with your child’s learning can be very insightful.
Below are some sentence starters that may be helpful to start a conversation.
- Wow! You did a great job because ….
- Have you considered?
- Interesting, this made me think of ….
- I’m proud of you because …..
- What challenges did you find with this task? How did you overcome them?
- What are you proud of with this piece of work? What makes you say this?
