While these inventories are amazing and perfect for in person learning and to store in a digital teacher space, this is not exactly what I was hoping for as far as being able to be used for remote learning in Google Classroom. The digital portion is the blackline copies in individual Google slides. Older students could probably make use of them in a digital format, but it would take some tweaking. I will love using them when my in person learning returns and I can give each student a hard copy.
Kayla Thomas –
Love this! It has so many questions to really get to know each student.

The virtual version of this is SO COOL. I was concerned with my 3rd graders knowing what to do and how to mark each thing. But the way the google slides are set up make it super easy to use! I plan to use the physical copy of this with my students that are in person and the virtual with those that are 100% virtual. I have never been more excited with a purchase I made of TPT. There was a ton of work put into this resource and I think my students are going to have a great time with this next week.

In my experience, a good portion of students dread inventories because of the amount of writing required. I found that students were more enthusiastic about responding to these inventories because they didn’t have to write and explain themselves for every question. I also think the types of questions are well done, too.
