4-Estle is on Seesaw!

Welcome to Seesaw!

Follow the instructions on the page your student brought home to begin your Seesaw experience! 
You may add up to 10 family members to connect to your child’s Seesaw journal. Please contact me with any questions or problems that arise.

I am very excited to share that our class will be using an amazing app called Seesaw in which students can build online digital portfolios to share their learning in a safe and engaging way. Each child has their own journal where they can document their learning. Families are able to connect to their child’s journal at home to view the work they are doing. Teachers can also communicate with families through the Seesaw app to provide reminders.

Benefits of Seesaw:
Students take ownership and pride in their learning, and they can show what they know through pictures, video, voice recording, text, and more! Provides an authentic audience for student work students can share their “WOW work” with classmates, teachers, and their family. Includes families in the learning process by providing easy to access, immediate updates, built in translation tools, and an opportunity to comment on their child’s school work. Safe online platform for students to share their work – the classroom teacher approves all student posts before they are shared, and families can only see work posted in their child’s journal. Helps capture the learning process, encourages students to reflect on their understanding, and helps develop 21st century skills.
