Boom Cards
I am enjoying Boom cards for my English learners. You ask, why that resource? I like them because as you probably know they are self-checking. It is a confidence building resource; not one that kids will dread because they can be successful with them and gain exposure to whatever concept they are assigned to do. I like the fact that when I cannot be there to help my newcomers, I know they will get something from doing them rather than staring blankly at an assignment they have no idea how to complete. I just created a new set.
This set is certainly language arts but I marked the subject as science since it involves kids looking at habitat backgrounds and connecting them with the animal choices on the cards. There is a title card, direction card, and 15 animal cards. Each of the cards has three animal choices based on "first person" context clue type riddles. It is basic and will be great for kindergarten, first grade, and of course newcomers to the country.
This resource along with my other resources on Teachers pay teachers will be on sale August 18 as a bonus sale especially for back to school. Here it is.
