So excited to have math and literacy that I can use at the beginning of the year.
This is a wonderful set of activities that I am currently using with my kindergarten class. I love the fact that I can use some activities to extend my higher students thus freeing my time to work with those struggling. Thank you!

I purchased this and love it, but just now noticed that the crayon set is missing some numbers...specifically 7, 11, 13 , 16, 18 and 19. Was that intentional or am I missing it somewhere? I see someone mentioned it earlier. Is the set supposed to have all numbers, 5-20?
Thanks....love it

Hi I really want to buy the files and I saw them on pinterest. I am wondering do you have a word version of the games as I would need to translate the language as I teach through Irish.
Hi there! No...I'm so sorry! I don't offer this file in an editable format. Sorry for the inconvenience! Blessings to you!

I purchased this download, and as I printed it onto my photo quality matte paper using my newest ink cartridge...many sections of the pages do NOT show when printed (they do show nicely on screen and in download). The wording shows up as black blocks. Example: "All Boxed Up" section, the direction page prints only the title, the actual directions are all blacked out. Pages 19-22 prints the color objects but NO WORDS- again blacked out, student worksheets with crayon boxes print the shapes of the boxes but black blocks out where print should show. I didn't catch this until many pages printed, so wasted quality paper and wasted ink on best setting :(
I'm so sorry for the inconvenience! Here's a tip: Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed. If you're working on a Mac, you need to open the file in READER and not in preview!!! If none of this works, contact the TpT help desk! Thanks!
Blessings to you!

I'm noticing that the issues are not being fixed. I do not show on my purchases that an updated version is ready to be downloaded. There are still extra letters on the letter assessment - N and p. Also, the ten frame for 11 is still showing 20 on page 22. Also on page 60 - letter Sound Assessment - Comment/notes needs to be moved down - it is on top of the /m/ section. Please let us know when it has been updated. Thanks so very much!
Would you mind trying again and let me know if it works?!?!?! The edits were made and uploaded...again :) I'm crossing my fingers!!! Let me know if it works this time!!!!! I sent a notice of revision, too!!! Thanks so much!! Blessings!

The letter ID assessment page has 56 letters. Can this be fixed? There is an extra capital N and P I think. I don't have the page right in front of me right now. I know for sure it's an extra capital N. Also, do you have to assess the "fancy a" or "fancy g"? Basically the lowercase a and g as it shows up in the font I'm currently typing with.
Yes, it sure can! Happy to fix it! Thanks for the heads up! A notice will be sent to you via TpT once it's re-uploaded! Thanks again! Blessings!

Hello Cara,
Just wondering if the activities in this package can be edited. I teach French immersion so I usually need to translate the activities that I find. Thanks so much. Merci!
Hi Robin! No, I'm SO sorry for the inconvenience, but I don't have an editable version of this packet. Thanks for the inquiry! Have a blessed day!

I'm not sure if you've had a chance to make updates since Aug. 28th, but I wanted you to make a correction on page 6 where all 3 say "beginning" instead of beginning, middle, and end. I know you said you would change it but everytime I come back to reload, it doesn't show that there has been an updated version. I also can't see where the 2nd 20 frame on page 22 has been updated to show 11 as a couple of people have requested.
I'm not sure what's going on, but I think that you should be aware in the case that it's a problem with TPT and you need to report that your updated versions aren't being updated. It's frustrating for buyers, as I'm sure it is for the seller.
Hmmmm....thank you SO much for bringing that to my attention! I definitely uploaded the edited version, so I'll go back and check again! Thanks so much for letting me know!!! Frustrating for sure!!! thank you!! Blessings to you!

Hi.
Can you update a typo?
On page 22 the ten frame for the 11 is actually another ten frame for the 20. So, the page has 2 20 ten frames and does not have a ten frame for 11. I was demonstrating this activity for class today when I noticed the typo. I came home and reloaded the packet it is still that way.
Thanks always for sharing.
Yes! Thank you!! It's been changed!!! Just been waiting to get internet access restored before I can upload the edit!! Blessings!

I have downloaded my packet and am extremely pleased. However, there are a few pages that have grey squares with no text... I am not sure if the packet has down loaded correctly.
Page 2 on the top says Ready, set, learn and the rest of the page has a gradient of gray to black lines across it. Page 3 Math Assessments is the same.
Page 5 Rote counting assessments has boxes with again gradient of gray lines through them. The same follows through the document.
I do have the clip art of the watermelon, and other pages with colored pictures on them...
Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed. If you're working on a Mac, you need to open the file in READER and not in preview!!! If none of this works, contact the TpT help desk! Thanks!

On page 6 (Rote Counting Assessment) should all of those say beginning of the year? I'm very confused (which isn't hard for me). I was reading through your explanation and my head is telling me that it should be beginning, middle, and end on each side since they are going to be assessed throughout the year. Please help me understand, because I'm going to be using this very soon in the classroom. Thanks, Cara!
Whooops! Let me fix that! It's definitely an error!!! Sorry for the inconvenience!!!

I have purchased the Ready, Set, Learn packet and I'm really excited about it. However, the All Boxed up has an issue. The 11 on the crayon portion has 20 showing on the 10 frame instead of 11. I am also curious as to why you did not do all numbers 5-20 instead of leaving out 13, 16, 18, and 19.
Hi there! I'll check it out and upload an edited version...sounds like there's a mistake I missed! So sorry!! As for the numbers, I need to go back and look at that, too. I created that packet over a year ago, but I've been doing those activities in my classroom for several years. It's been a while, so I need a refresher! I'm sure there was a reason for my doing that! Blessings to you!

I hate, hate, hate to be a pain. But is there any way to can change the 11-ten frame (it says 20 instead of 11). I'm trying to get things ready for the first weeks. Thanks!

Hello,
I just bought this package which I'm very excited about!! It's blurry though and I did everything you said to do with adobe. I'm not sure how to fix it. Do you know what else I can do?
I just bought your Ready Set Learn pack & I noticed on pg 22 the red crayon for the 11 ten-frame is actually 20. Is there a way to change this? Thanks! :)
Hi Cara! I ordered your packet and on page 69/109, the letter sound assessment page, the comments/notes are written in the same box with the letter sound m (far left column, last box). I wasn't sure if it's suppose to be like that? Or not?
Ohmiword! I'll fix that and upload an edited version! Thanks!

I just downloaded this document but many of the pages don't show the words. They look like they have been blacked out/smudged. Is it because I am on a MAC? I downloaded it to a flash drive and got the same results. Can you help? Thanks! I love your stuff!!!
Absolutely! Email me at thefirstgradeparade@gmail.com so that I can send you a new copy! Thanks!

I downloaded this document and have printed it off. However, at least a third of my pages (all directional pages) show dark lines and no print or graphics. Could this be because I don't have that particular font? Or do you have any idea why some pages are fine and others aren't rigfht? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Honestly, I don't think so :( They're really geared toward end of K/beginning of 1st. I also use these throughout the year for practice! So sorry!!

Love, love the unit, but having trouble printing full size on the page. I have tried everything.
Any suggestions to make it fit? Has anyone else had this problem?
Hmmmm...I honestly haven't had anyone tell me they're having problems like that. Why don't you email me at thefirstgradeparade@gmail.com and I'll send you another copy...we'll see if that works!!! If not, I'll figure something out!!!
I've been teaching for 10 years. I spent 7 years teaching Kindergarten and then moved up to 2nd grade and loved it! I didn't know what I was missing. A year later I moved to 1st grade and I'll never look back. It's the best!
