I always look for your literacy and math center packets. They are creative and follow about the same formats in each thematic unit. This makes it easy for my little ones to know just what they are supposed to do when I can't get right there to help.
Thanks!

I love this- but there are black dots all over it. How do I fix it? Please help me!
Hey there! So sorry you are having problems opening the file. Try these troubleshooting tips and let me know if you still can't open the file.
1. Make sure you are using an up to date version of Acrobat Reader.
You can check the version by clicking Help then About from within
reader. If you have a version earlier than 5.0 or 6.0, you should
update your reader.
2. If you have a Mac, you may be opening it with a Mac program
called "Preview" and not even know it. Preview has documented problems
opening modern Adobe files. If you have a Mac, try opening Adobe
Reader first (rather than just clicking on the file), then open the
file within Adobe Reader. You may also choose to set the default
reader to Adobe Reader by following the instructions here.
To change the default reader on a Mac to Adobe:
----------------------------------------------
Click on the icon of a PDF file type then choose File --> Get Info
You will see a dialog box labeled something like this "sample.pdf" Info
Near the bottom, you will see a section titled "Open With:"
That indicates what application on you Mac is the default.
Click on the pop-up to bring up the list of possible applications
and select Adobe Reader (whatever version is installed), then click
"Change All" to make it the default application for all .pdf files.
The OS will then ask you if you are sure, click "Continue."
Now the Mac will use Reader instead of Preview.
Please e-mail me at crazyforfirstgrade@hotmail.com or contact TpT customer service through the contact us link if you still have problems with the document!! I really appreciate your purchase and want to make sure you can get the problem fixed!!
Ask Anna Brantley a question. They will receive an automated email and will return to answer you as soon as possible.

Anna, I bought and downloaded the file and most of the numbers and words are not printing. The word sort was ok and part of the time match was ok. The digital times, number riddles, abc order, making words, and measuring was either blank or had black marks on them. Let me know what I should do to remedy this problem. Our right to read week is a beach theme and am anxious to use the ideas. Thank you!

Anna - this is my first year teaching first grade after teaching 4/5 for 16 years!!! I love TpT and find a lot of useful things here including some of your products. My question is: Common Core Standards have the Moon and the Sun for us to teach in Science. Do you have anything made up for this yet? OR do you know of anyone else who may have it? Thanks!
I have been teaching for 5 years- 2 in 2nd grade and 3 in 1st grade. I'm currently teaching first grade and LOVE it!! I have the best job in the world:)
