I’ll admit that I may have had a panic attack or two in March when schools closed and distance learning was thrust upon us, but I actually am now finding myself somewhat appreciative of the experience. We teachers were suddenly forced to embrace teaching in a whole new way and with all new tools. It sure wasn’t pretty at first (at least for me!), but I really feel like I got the hang of it and was able to do the best I possibly could for my first graders.
One of my saving graces in the Spring was my discovery of Boom Cards! They are floating all over Pinterest and Instagram so you’ve probably heard of them by now (if you haven’t, check out my post about them HERE...oh, and it includes a FREE deck!). Let me just be 900th person to tell you…they are amazing! They are no-prep, engaging, productive, self-checking(!!!!), and FUN!
I’ve been working hard to create monthly bundles of Boom Cards decks to use with my first graders this year and to offer to you as well! Each bundle will have 12 easy-to-access decks with a variety of math and literacy skills that are appropriate for that time of the year and the developmental levels of our first graders. Today I wanted to share my all new August Bundle of Boom Card decks! The decks can be purchased individually (they are linked) or you can grab them all at once and SAVE with the deeply discounted bundle!
Boom Cards really are the way to go, whether you are using them in your classroom, as part of your homeschooling efforts, or for distance learning!
You can also check out the other monthly bundles and the rest of my Boom library HERE. Hang in there, teachers! Happy teaching!
