Games

I create personalized games that my kids love. For example, I make a "Guess Who" game with a baby photo of each of them and I can rearrange the slides each time we play to shuffle the photos.

Phonics

I use slides to create letter/sound games that I can reuse ever year. I also use slides to create mini-lessons on new phonics concepts and give students options to interact by coming up to the board to identify letters, sounds, vowels, or read CVC words or simple sentences.

Thematic Learning

I teach integrated thematic units that require a lot of research and context building for students. I use slides to create "kinder versions" of concepts that are very visual and include links to short video clips. This allows me to teach larger concepts in simpler, kid-friendly ways as well as store all my work for easy access year to year.

Curriculum

Many curriculums that I have used, especially Math and Science, provide links to Google Slide presentations for the classroom. This is a great teaching aide that makes lesson planning easier and information more accessible to kids. I can make a copy of the pre-made presentations and make my own edits by hiding certain slides or rearranging the order to tailor it to my lesson.
