In this guest post, Science teacher and Teacher-Author Sarah Renish discusses adding Boom! Cards (TM) to your teacher toolbox! Guest Post: Adding BOOM! Cards (TM) to Your Toolbox  by Sarah Renish.




Teaching with THEMES allows more flexibility, student choice, and response to intervention opportunities. But here's why I love Teaching with Themes in the ELA Classroom.

Classroom Management is one of the most difficult areas to succeed at, yet it is crucial for our students to become scholars. CHAMPS is one set of tools that should be in every toolbox!

Becoming a Teacher-Author Entrepreneur Step 19: Creating Fillable PDFs as a REMOTE READY RESOURCE

So, with Distance Learning we have a new aspect of our resources to look at - creating the resource to be COMPLETELY useable for remote online teaching, or a REMOTE READY RESOURCE. If you are a seller with TpT, you have probably seen the offers to do the BETA testing of their automatic "fillable distance form" versions of your resources. I tried it. I did not like it. It is basically a text box placed over every page. And, from what we teacher-authors have been hearing, customers don't like these either. So, what's an Entrepreneur to do? Create the resource to match the need! All of the Novel Study Guides mentioned  are available on AUL, The Wheel Edu and TpT Fortunately, this is a fairly easy fix, IF you create the way I have tried to show you, in PowerPoint. It took me 6 hours to recreate our Touching Spirit Bear  Novel Study Guide, 4 hours for the Novel Study Guide for A Long Walk to Water, and a whopping 2 hours for Rumble Fish  to become a REMOTE READY RESOURCE.
