Abby,

I just bought your Fun with Firsties and am unable to open the file. While trying to download, it states that the file is corrupt and is not able to be opened. I talked with the tech support at my school and they said it is an issue with the file, not my computer. Is there any way you could email me the file?

Thanks,
Amy Magnin

Is there any difference between the kinder pages and the first grade? I bought the kinder but have been moved to first grade and I wanted to see what the differences before I buy the first. Thanks so much!

I upgraded my acrobat reader, but the pages are still very fuzzy. I have a MAC... how to resolve, LITERALLY?

April 30, 2013

Babbling Abby (TpT Seller)

This is likely due to opening it in "preview." Make sure you download/save the product, and this should solve the problem :)

I have also paid and downloaded the Fun with FIrsties and it will completely download, and I can view all 41 pages, but when I go to print it, it will only print to page 7. I have tried numerous times. I am very disappointed. Is there any thing that you can do since I have paid for this and it can not be used. Or any suggestions?

April 10, 2013

Babbling Abby (TpT Seller)

I'm so sorry! I would be disappointed, too :(. Thousands of people have downloaded and printed this item successfully, so I know it's not an issue with the file. Make sure you're not downloading and viewing in "preview" in adobe. Often, updating your adobe software will work, too. Of neither of those work, be sure to contact TpT directly by opening a ticket or requesting a refund. Let me know if there's anything I can do on my end to help!

I paid and downloaded the Fun with Firsties and it won't show beyond the title page - says there is an error - can you help? Thanks! Nancy Swanson

April 8, 2013

Babbling Abby (TpT Seller)

Hmmmm, I'm not sure! You may be opening it in preview or haven't downloaded the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat. Check both of those and let me know if they work. If it still won't work, you can always open a ticket with TpT and consult their expertise :)

I have a similar question.... so you create your work in Power point and save it as a .pdf file correct? Each page can be printed separately correct? Can you recommend your clip art site? Thanks a bunch! Ramona

Babbling Abby (TpT Seller)

Yes, I work in PPT and save as a PDF. I love Etsy, TpT, and Scrappin' Doodles for clip art :)

Hi, is there any way I can get this with "year two" instead of first grade? I want to buy it but won't be able to use many of the sheets at the moment because we don't use the term "grade" here in New Zealand! Thanks for your help!

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 downloaded the file for Fun with Firsties. Unfortunately it is not coming out clear. I can not read any of the information on the 2nd page, I can see the faces on the survey page, but everything else is black blobs on the page. I did download your Gingerbread sample, so I know it is not a problem with file types or adobe reader. Please help...first day is coming up fast!

Hi Abby-

I have a favor to ask you. I just recently purchased your Fun with Firsties Packet and really loved it, especially the survey. I have just been informed that I'm involuntarily being moved to teach second grade (a couple weeks into school) and was wondering if you could send me a copy of your 2nd grade survey. I would rather not purchase the whole 2nd grade package, because like I said I have already purchased the 1st grade package and a lot of it is the same. I would really appreciate your help with this. My email address is reark@waterloo.k12.ia.us

Thanks Abby!

Hi, What exactly do you have your kids do with your "My first week of First grade book." I love to buy your entire unit but the only thing i am intrested at the moment is the book i mention above. Is there any way you can sell it by its self?

August 6, 2012

Babbling Abby (TpT Seller)

Hi, there! Unfortunately, it's not sold separately :( The book is assembled by the student, and there is a place for them to write and draw about a prompt on each page (i.e. My Teacher, My Friends, What I Ate for Lunch, etc.). Fun with Firsties is a best seller, so you may find other things inside that are valuable, too :) Have a great day!

I can't find such great ideas and materials in my country. That's why I would like to ask you if you know any sites where I could find great ideas for K-2 in Spanish.
I really appreciate any help or guidance.
Thank you so much in advance.

Hello! I will be making the Jitter Juice with my little ones on Thursday. Although I'd love to try the juice recipe at home first, I don't think I'll be able to drink all of that sugar by myself! So I am wondering if you mix the raspberry lemonade drink mix with water first (the package I have says to mix it with 8 cups of water) and then add the Sprite, or do you just pour the dry mix right into the 2L of soda? Thank you for your help!

I just mix it right in with the Sprite! It will be super sour, but the kiddos will love it! Also, make sure you're mixing it inside something (don't just dump the pkg into the Sprite), as it will need some room to bubble!!!

Thanks for your purchase and have a great day! I hope your kids love it!

Hi Abby, Love your blog and this activity packet ...however I am personally and my school are mac users and nothing opened properly. When it wouldn't open the graphics or fun fonts at home I thought I'd try school. All I got at both places was the cover page, a bunch of black lines through everything, the Jitter juice poem and activity sheet, and more black lines through everything, and he comparing activity. Do you have these saved that you could email them - emails open much better for some reason. Let me know. Thanks, Brie

Sorry for the delay! We've been out of town!

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!

Hi Abby,
I also purchase Fun with Firsties and have found many pages with black smudges across them. I downloaded Adobe Reader X and that has not helped. I will try another browser. Have you found any other solutions that work? Thank you1 Chrys-Ann

So sorry! It could be that you're opening in "preview" mode when you open it up in Adobe. IF this doesn't work, 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 purchased your Fun with Firsties and love the pages that are complete.
However some of the pages are not complete, such as the survey. I have the faces but not the words. Am I doing something wrong when printing?

Your packet "Fun with Firsties" is amazing! My kiddos LOVED Jitter Juice!! I was wondering how you made your packets - do you have a special program like Print Shop or is it something simple like Microsoft Publisher? I do everything on Word and my items never turn out as cute and colorful (especially the clip art)!! Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!

Thanks! I used to design in Word, but now design in PowerPoint! Try it, you will love it! Have a great day!

I just bought your Fun with Firsties but for some reason some of the fonts will not show up and are blurry. I really want to use some of the activities in my classroom but not sure how I can when the pages have blurred out words on them. If you know how I can fix it, that would be great!
Thank You,
Jaclyn
