Looking for resources for Black History month, Valentine’s Day, or President’s Day? I’ve got a few for you!
Nearpod Resources
First off, check out the Nearpod Library for many pre-made activities to use with students NOW! Open Nearpod, click on Nearpod Library in the left menu, and then type what you are looking for in the search bar. Here are a few examples of what you can find there:
- Use Virtual Reality to explore the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Experience an interactive presentation on President’s Day
- Take a virtual field trip to learn about Abraham Lincoln
- Learn the history of Valentine’s Day
I have created a folder of February Nearpod activities for K-5. If you’d like a copy of the resources I’ve gathered, please fill out this form, and I will send the folder your way.
