Teachers and parents are well into the distance teaching and learning routines by now. While routine is good, I have noticed that it can be more difficult to keep kids motivated to do this learning at a distance thing. So I am continuing to throw in a new Resource here or there, just to keep things interesting and my students focused on learning. I hope you will find something useful in one of these posts!
Here we go with part 5. If you missed my earlier posts about free resources, see part 1 HERE, part 2 HERE, part 3 HERE, and part 4 HERE.
