Hello,
I was wondering if you have a chance to email me about the voting packet. I read the descriptions and purchased the product. After downloading it, it was not what I anticipated. Can you email me when I get a chance? epatterson@laca.org
I am not sure how to get this product for the additional amount off reflected in your email sent this morning. Can you message me nd let me know? Early bird gets the big discount. :)
Hi! For some reason...if you subscribe by email...you get it a day after I post. It's a bummer...but that's the way feedburner operates. I ran the half ofdeal yesterday from ten to five. Now it's 20% off. I am so sorry you missed out!!! I blogged about it AND posted it on my facebook page. :) I You may want to follow my facebook page for instant updates. I try to get the word out there as much as I can...:) Sorry!!!

Hi,
I was wondering if the voting packet includes informational comprehension pages about elections and presidents. Something I can use to introduce the unit. Example president must be (age, citizen, etc). I have the same question for the kings vs presidents venn.
Update:
I purchased the packet. I have some questions I wanted to discuss via email. Is that possible? epatterson@laca.org
Hi, Anne! Your products look great! They make me wish that I still taught science. :) I am departmentalized now, so I can only hope to intertwine social studies and language arts with science every now and then. I am glad that you like my election unit! Best wishes on TpT! :) Welcome to the club!
