Help
I recently purchased a copy of your Literature Response Worksheet Packet 1 before realizing you had a mega pack. I would prefer to purchase the mega pack, but don't want to pay twice for the same product. Any suggestions???
Many thanks,
Julie S.

Hi Julie,
How about this. Purchase the Mega Pack, then pick out anything else from my store that is $5.00 or under. Email me at reallyrachel@gmail.com with your TpT user name and the name of the product you want. I will send it to you directly. Will that do the trick?
Best,
Rachel

My passion is creating high quality, ready-to-use teaching resources. I believe our future depends on our children being able to think creatively and critically, so I incorporate higher level thinking skills into almost everything I create.
Most of my experience is in gifted education grades 1-4. But I have also taught regular education to all elementary grade levels. I've taught workshops on writing and have had extensive experience teaching elementary science as well as technology.
I have also written a series of 6 creative and critical thinking books for Evan-Moor as well as several other books of teacher materials.
In addition, I am a published author of over 100 nonfiction books for children on a variety of subjects.
You can see the books I've written here:
My Books
I am also the author of several blogs:
Minds in Bloom
(FacilitatingCreative and Critical Thinking Skills)
"Quotes" for Teachers
(An organized collection of quotes to use in your classroom)
I am also an administrator on:
"Tchr2Tchr
(Articles, contests, and Linky Parties from TpT sellers)
And of course there is also Facebook and Twitter
