We are two teachers in Arizona who formed Splash! Publications more than 25 years ago. Even after so many years, our goal remains very simple: provide teachers with NO PREP resources that can be used immediately.
We taught nine years before publishing our first state history curriculum, Do Arizona! Like many of you reading this, we had become frustrated with textbook manufacturers who were not always aware of what was going on in our classrooms. Lessons did not teach to measurable objectives or they taught too many objectives at the same time. Activities that were worth using were listed as “ideas” in the textbooks and had to be created before they could be implemented in our classrooms. We set out to make a different kind of “textbook.” One that was absolutely ready to teach from immediately. More than 25 years later, teachers throughout Arizona are still using Do Arizona!
Since publishing Do Arizona!, we have created more than 300 new engaging resources, each featuring all of the nonfiction informational text and a balanced mix of higher and lower-level hands-on activities. Everything we sell is NO PREP and ready to use as soon as you receive it.
We hope you will take the time to browse through our website, visit our Blog to print out free activities, and tell other teachers about us.
Thanks for visiting Splash! Publications.
