Seesaw strives to create joyful instruction for early learners. While educators inspire learning across the world, not all education levels’ alignment is the same. To help bring the full value of The Seesaw Library to your teachers and students, we have crafted a correlation chart to navigate our education levels so that you can find the supplemental activities best suited for the ages of your young learners.
