What a year!
One thing that has been remarkable about this time is the amount of open sharing that educators have done. From Bitmoji Classrooms to teaching templates, we have embraced the notion of “We are all in this together.”
In the coming weeks, many schools are returning to a full and in person model of learning. Many of us will be moving away from technology and students will be doing more pencil and paper tasks.

In addition, these can be modified for different grade levels and easily be printed and copied for students to write on, or be replicated on an anchor chart.
