I think the work was wonderful-it wasn't what I was expecting at all though-I wasn't able to use it in my class. The effort of the work was outstanding, it just wasn't useful for what I needed-I must have misread the description. I was hoping for more hands-on activities.
These activities use hands-on materials, so I don't understand the comment. I want everyone to be happy with something they've spent their hard-earned money on. If you would like a refund, please contact me at karen @ prekinders .com, and I will ask TpT to do that for you.
I have now removed "kindergarten" from the grade level. I'm very sorry you were disappointed, and I really appreciate the feedback. :) Please contact me if you would like a refund, and I will ask TpT do to that for you.

This is a really great unit for preschool. I was disappointed only because I was hoping for a little bit more in depth to use for the kindergarten level.
Hi there! I'm really sorry about that! Do you think I need to remove Kindergarten from the grade level? If you need a refund, please let me know, and I will ask TpT to do that for you. Thanks for the feedback!

I love this unit. I am a preschool teacher and occasionally have to plan some non-school day (teacher workshop) units. This material will be just the perfect amount for my little kiddos. Thanks so much and keep it coming!

This is an excellent unit plan, with clear instructions and graphics. I have used materials from Karen's website, and they are always favorites in my preschool class--I highly recommend them.

I love the activities and cannot wait to use them in my class next week. My only issue was with the activity with the letter buses. It looked fine when I viewed it on my computer but when I printed it, the second bus on every page was messed up (a little bus over the top of the normal bus). Since I am using this with young children I did not need all the letter buses anyway but I thought you might want to see if this problem would occur on a different computer. Thank you.
