Reading Comprehension Interactive Strategy Cards
Monique O.

I downloaded this file and had a hard time printing the interactive cards in the format I see on the screen. It is printing in portrait and not landscape to fit the 3M sticky notes. I will keep trying to figure this out.

Teacher Thrive

Hi Monique. This is the first I am hearing of this issue. Please make sure you are opening and printing the file from the latest version of Adobe Reader. If you still need help, contact TpT customer support. They will resolve the issue.

6th Grade Daily MATH Spiral Review Morning Work [EDITABLE] Test Prep
vanessa M.

Great resource but it is a bit mixed as far as scaffolding goes...it does not go in sequence with the 6th grade math books.

Teacher Thrive

Hello! This resource is not designed around a particular scope and sequence since so many teachers follow different timelines, etc. I find that they best way to use this is to begin with whole group lessons where you model and discuss each of the activities. I don't worry too much if there hasn't been a formal lessons on a particular concept; I treat those items more of a preview. After a few weeks, the students really start grasping the format and you can begin to transfer the workload to them. Eventually, when the students are working independently on the review, you will simply spend time correcting and discussing their work in class. Please feel free to email me with any questions!

4th Grade Daily MATH and GRAMMAR Spiral Review Bundle Test Prep
Nancy Gudknecht

For some reason the first 3 pages of the math bundle wouldn't print. Overall though, I think this will be a great resource!

Teacher Thrive

Please make sure you are opening and printing fro the latest version of Adobe Reader.

Julie Wallace

Do you have a few pictures of a completed literary lap book that you could share with me?

Teacher Thrive

Hello Julie. I only have the images that are included in the instruction pages for each foldable.

The Mathtermind Teacher

Is this going to be beneficial for 4th through 8th grade GATE students?

Teacher Thrive

Thanks for reaching out! Yes, absolutely! I know of several GATE teachers that use this!

mrswheelershields

Would you be open to making a bundle of just the icons in color and black and white?

Jaime Guidry

Hello. We do not have plans to create these separately at this time, but you can print them in black and white.

Myriah B.

I saw your response in 2017 about not intending to make these digital and am asking again as we are fully remote for at least our first quarter and would love this as a resource!

Teacher Thrive

Hi Myriah. We don’t have plans to create digital versions of these resources at this time. You are allowed to adapt the current resources to use online with just your students, however.

Karla Hess

Purchased the mega bundle a few years ago and love it, any chance that any of the resources will be made digital anytime soon?

Teacher Thrive

Hi Karla! I don't have immediate plans for a digital versions, at this time. Thank you for asking.

Charlotte Hollinger

Hi. Would this be good for 3rd grade as well? Thank you.

Teacher Thrive

Hello! Many of the resources can be adapted for third grade, but to be honest, I don't think the entire bundle will be appropriate. You might want to start with the Fairytales resource, and then see what you think. You can always buy a few items and then if you decide you want to entire bundle later, you can buy it and tpt will give you a refund for the individual items.

Kristin Simcox

I love all of your resources! I bought the Critical Thinking Mats, and Book Club files earlier this year, but I realized now that there is a bundle where those are included. I was wondering if I buy the bundle, is there anyway I could be pro-rated or would I just pay for those files twice? (Hopefully that makes sense!) Thank you for all of your hard work - anything I buy from you, I know will be high quality/high-level thinking for my students!
Thanks! Kristin

Hi Kristin! If you buy the bundle, I can initiate a refund for the Thinking Mats and Book Club. Just email after you purchase the bundle with your username and dates of purchased of the Thinking Mats and Book Club. GotToTeach@icloud.com

Sara J.

This looks great! My students loved the depth and complexity questions for Hatchet. We are about to start The Westing Game, so I was going to see if I could apply your literature circle questions in my lessons. Do you have a blog? I would love to see how you use these and all of the other items in this bundle!

Teacher Thrive

Hi Sara! Thank you. I do have a blog but it does not focus on Depth and Complexity. The literature circles and task cards can work with any book. In fact, I have had many teachers use them with The Westing Game. Great book! www.GotToTeach.com

litmaven

I answered my own question! Sorry! (Edited)

Teacher Thrive

No worries. Email me if you have any questions. GotToTeach@icloud.com

Angie R.

Will you be making any Depth and Complexity Cards for Math?? Thanks! :)

Teacher Thrive

Hi Angie. At this time I do not have plans to make anymore DC resources. Thank you for your interest, though.
