Elementary Update

Bend Science Station

Elementary teachers can find some incredible science lessons in Google Drive! The talented folks at the Bend Science Station have created K-5 units that align with NGSS and Amplify. Teachers must be logged into their Bend-La Pine Google Drive accounts to access these science materials. All K-5 content can be found here.

Presenting Google Slides

Teachers can present Google Slides for students while keeping important speaker notes visible only on the teacher’s iPad screen. This is important when presenting the Reading Templates from TLC and when presenting the new Bend Science Station lessons. Here is a pdf tutorial that explains how.
