Hello Cara!
First I want to say that I LOVE everything you put on here! I had the same question that Swanie59 asked. I don't see a response to her question so I was also wondering about there being directions on the jet game board that don't work with the game. There is no dice for that game. The spinner directions work. Is there a way to get a copy of the game board without the dice directions on the board? I am probably showing my blonde side here but could you explain the creature game in a little more detail. I don't understand what they are supposed to do on the recording sheet. Are they just supposed to write the word they roll in the blank next to that word? So if they roll not, then they write not in the blank next to where not is written or do they make up a contraction that has not in it and write that in the blank? Also, the sentence they write, is it just any sentence they would like to write about their creature? Is it supposed to have contractions in it? Thank you for your help!

Ms. Carroll,
Thank you for all of your hard work. I have tried opening the roller coaster recording sheet many different ways and no matter what I do the print is barely visible. Could you help please?

How bizarre?!?! Seems like there are a lot of clarity issues today! Email me at thefirstgradeparade@gmail.com and I'll see what we can work out! Blessings to you!

I believe there is an error in your packet. The directions for Leavin' On A Jet Plane do NOT match the directions on the game board. The directions on the jet gameboard tell you to roll a die but the directions on the previous page say that we are to use a spinner for this game. The spinner will work, the die will not. It seems that the directions on the Jet Plane gameboard belongs to the Roll a Contraction Creature game. Is this an error or am I just crazy? Thanks for responding! Ann

Hi Cara!
I love your ideas! I think I'm doing something wrong with my downloading your information--I have black streaks all over your forms. I have a MAC...but have used TPT website before, and that hasn't happened. Please let me know how I can fix this if you have an answer! Thanks!

Hey Cara,
Love your stuff! (as always!) I was just wondering, are some of the pages a bit blurry? Not the whole document comes out blurry (most is clear) but pages 27, 36, and 41 seem off. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks again!!

Hi Cara, I just saw your Contraction Crocodile Crunch song on Pinterest, and thought it to be quite cute but I'm a little confused - shouldn't it say two words go in but only one comes out?
January 28, 2012
Cara Carroll (TpT Seller)
That wasn't my song or activity. I'm not really sure whose it is...you might want to let that person know!! Thanks so much! Blessings!!

Hi Cara,
All of your work is top-notch! I just love it. I do want to let you know that there is a typo in your alligator poem. On the 5th line it says "And when he'd spit one in it's place..." It should be "And when he'd spit one in its place." (no apostrophe on its). Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know! I actually caught that mistake when I was teaching it and forgot to correct it!!! I must have gotten caught up in the excitement of making contractions!! I'll fix it and send out a notification when it's revised!! Thanks so much!! Blessings!

Hi Cara,
I bought Crazy for Contractions and I love it but I'm having troubling viewing some of the pages. I have a Mac computer and that may be the issue, however I haven't had issues before. Not all the pages are messed up but I can't read any words on the crawfish, the films that go with the cameras, and the recording sheet to the ice cream scoop matching activity is messed up as well. I have tried to redownload a couple times but it's not working. I see black lines in these areas not the words. What do you think is causing this? Thanks for any help you can give me. Kara Kendall
