Student Version:
Ask your students to write a lyric about how they are social distancing to compile in a class song! Use this or this Flocab rhyming lesson and social distancing video to get them thinking!
Tuesday
On Tuesday we’re going to focus on kindness, because kindness is FREE! We are encouraging everyone to tag at least 2 teachers that have made a difference to them during this #distancelearning time on social media and share they’ve made a difference. Then they must pay it forward by ALSO recognizing two teachers. Use the hashtag #NearpodSpiritWeek so we can all see the stream of kindness!
Student Version: Recognize a friend, teacher, or family member that has helped you as you are learning from home.
#NearpodWednesday
Did you know that we have officially declared Wednesdays to be #NearpodWednesday? Every Wednesday, post a selfie with any form of Nearpod swag and hashtag #NearpodWednesday & #NearpodSpiritWeek!
Student Version: Encourage your students to rep their school spirit from home!
Thursday
It’s time for some fun! Take a picture of your must-have virtual teaching resource and tag us using #NearpodSpritWeek. We also want you to be able to run a virtual spirit week in your classroom! Click the editable Google Slides Template below so that you can launch #NearpodSpiritWeek in your own virtual classroom!
Student Version: Create a show and tell type experience in your next virtual meeting together. Students share one items that they love during this remote learning time. To manage the responses, use our Flipgrid integration with Nearpod for them to submit!
Friday
We’re ending Nearpod spirit week in true tech style…with some MEMES! Let’s make others laugh and smile today by sharing our favorite memes or creating our own and tagging #NearpodSpiritWeek!
