Project work time for K–2
Use this template during project work time in your K–2 classroom to help students know what to do and where they are in the activity. The screen shows each step and helps students work together in groups, see their roles, and check off what they finish.
Young children see a bright, friendly background, a plan for the day, a group maker to find their teams, a countdown to an exciting event, and a checklist to mark progress together.
Free for teachers. Your screens, classes and uploads are saved to your account.
