A fun way to keep your daily routine organized. This editable PowerPoint template includes my "Base Ten Days of School" chart that you can change for each day. Combine that with the list of things to do and your own personal Bitmoji, this is a great resource- even if you just use it to help you remember what day it is!

How I use this resource: I use zoom for my class meetings and I do

a screen share as the meeting is beginning and I’m waiting for students to

join. It has helped me keep organized with my zoom calls and I can easily plan

ahead! It could easily be added to your google classroom as well!

Keep up the AMAZING work you are doing during this crazy time!
