After MANY requests, I finally converted my "Fun with Firsties" and "Super in Second" packs into a similar pack for the intermediate grades! {The activities are the same except for very minor changes!}

Potential customers, PLEASE NOTE: I do NOT teach grades 3-5 and have NOT taught grades 3-5. These are very basic activities that are pretty easy to accomplish the first few weeks of school. The purpose of these activities is to build classroom relationships, establish rapport with your kiddos, and define the responsibilities and expectations of the grade you teach :)

With that said, PLEASE download and view the preview and ask any and all questions before you make a purchase!

I cant seem to find your Super in Second Packet yet I did see it when i was on the site earlier. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'd like to purchase it.

Thanks,
Regina

Hi I just purchased this and when I download it, lots of the pages are blurred where the text is or text is missing completely. For example, table of contents is all blurred and where there should be text are random black dashes and same with on several of the activity pages. If this can't be fixed can I please be reimbursed?

The most common error is mistakenly opening and printing from "preview" in Adobe. Here's what typically works for most customers:

This is easy to fix, so no worries! If you are a Mac user, you need Adobe Acrobat Reader X. If doing that doesn't work, try these options: - If you're a Mac user, switch browsers (i.e. if you're currently opening in Firefox, try opening in Internet Explorer or Safari) - Make sure you check Adobe under "open with" to verify that that Adobe is the program you're using to open the document and not "preview" - Try opening the document from an entirely different computer (open directly from TpT) Please let me know if any of these option help and, if they don't, you'll have to contact TpT for a refund (sellers don't handle anything money-related). Let me know if there's anything else I can do on my end to make this right! Thanks again for your purchase and have a great day!

I have downloaded the latest version of Acrobat Reader X as was suggested, but when I download the document, it was still blurry and the smudge-like marks are still there. I also tried using a different browser and still the results are the same. This is very disappointing.

Hi, Mary! I'm sure you're disappointed, but this isn't a seller's error :( There's nothing I can do on my end to help you download it correctly, besides giving you the same advice I give all my customers that have download difficulties. Usually, the smudges are a result of opening the document in "preview" in Adobe, instead of actually opening/downloading/saving the document. You can always contact TpT directly for assistance or a refund, but I've had hundreds of successful downloads. So sorry! Wish there was more I could do!

Why are there black smudge-like marks on many pages? It seems like the words were blotted out.

I am unable to open the back to school for big kids that I purchased. It opens but will not go past the first page. It has an error message. I downloaded it again and it does the same thing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Are you a classroom teacher this upcoming school year. I thought you were going to become a reading teacher or coach.

I am a reading teacher and look for ideas on how to set up a small reading room.

You're correct, Shinka! So excited to take on a new role :) I just posted pics of my room on my blog, but it's not a "reading room" specifically. Happy back to school!

Hi Abby,

I purchased your Back to School for Big Kids unit. I was going to use my closing day to get ahead on some copying for the beginning of the school year and found some mistakes in the unit. For the school house activity, all but one of the "signs" says "My first week of first school," and the word "of" was left off of the school house sign itself. Can you correct this for me please and let me know when it is ready to redownload? Thanks so much!

Hello Abby,
I e-mailed you last Wednesday, but I did not receive a response, so I am going to try here. I purchased this unit, however, I have found a few mistakes. All but one of the "signs" says "My first week of first school," and the word "of" was left off of the school house. Can you let me know when this has been corrected so that I can redownload? Thanks!
