✅ I'm still having fun with Screen Time Awarenes ✅ I'm still having fun with Screen Time Awareness lessons this week!  If you want an easy lesson plan, here's what we've been doing:⁣
⁣
🤖  Read Unplugged by Steve Antony in K & 1st.⁣
📱  Read If You Give a Mouse an iPhone by Ann Droyd in 2nd & 3rd.⁣
💻  Read Goodnight iPad by Ann Droyd in 4th & 5th.⁣
