We created this STEAM Innovation Choice Board that is aligned to Kinder/1st grade's ELA Benchmark Unit 5: Technology but feel free to use it with your students even if you don't use that ELA curriculum or grade level! This choice board was designed because we know students gravitate towards certain innovation activities over others, especially in the remote learning setting. The activity options include the following:

As we quickly and without warning pivoted to Distance Learning on March 13, 2020, it weighed heavily on my heart that all my plans for innovation TK-8 would halt abruptly. I knew that no matter what distance learning looked like we MUST keep innovation going for our students. Therefore, my counterpart and friend, Marla Rosenthal and I dove into creating these Thematic At-Home STEAM Distance Learning Resources we could share not only with our schools, but our districts and beyond. We are very happy to share these freely because we want to spread innovation and we know as educators, we are absolutely Better Together! Click on the links below for the lessons, feel free to modify for your own classrooms, schools and districts, and keep innovation happening in every students' education!
Write Reader is one of my favorite tools for our youngest authors! It's free, easy to add students to classes, has a bank of images that is continuing to grow, and students can record their voices! I used this even with my Kinder students! Students can write creatively by choosing the pictures in the Image bank or they can show their understanding of what they're learning in any subject area! If you haven't checked it out, I highly encourage you to visit Write Reader and learn more!
