(Please note, slides will not contain movable pieces.)I also have a tutorial for using resources with the Seesaw app. You can find that HERE.

———————-BUYING FOR A TEAM?————————–
LICENSING TERMS: This purchase includes a license for one teacher only for personal use in their classroom. Licenses are non-transferable, meaning they can not be passed from one teacher to another. No part of this resource is to be shared with colleagues or used by an entire grade level, school, or district without purchasing the proper number of licenses.
