Hi, I was looking at Room 36, Kindergarten Blog (Mrs. Williamson) and she had the cutest Little Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie art/writing activity. She credited you with the idea, but I have looked and looked and cannot find the master. Can you point me in the right direction so I can buy it from you???? I would love to do it next week with my Kinders. Thanks! Tresa Nelson
Hi Tresa! Awww...sweet Mrs. Williamson! Yes..I did that last year, but I don't have a master?!?!? I need to look for my original sample so that I can create a template from it. When we moved, I lost SO much!!!!!! Aaaahhhh!!!! I'm SO sorry!!!! I'll look through some things this weekend to see if I can find it!!!! Blessings to you!
Yes! It sure will :) However, you can always print in "grayscale"...that's an option that you should have when you go to print. At least, it is on my computer!!! Blessings to you!

Hello, I ordered these activities last night and I am unable to open them this morning. The file will not download the pdf usual. Please Help!!!
How bizarre! So sorry this is giving you problems. 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 me at thefirstgradeparade@gmail.com. You can always contact the TpT help desk, too!
Blessings to you!
Hey Sally! YES! That should be posted no later than Tuesday. I've been a little behind because BOTH of my boys have been sick with strep and daddy was out of town this weekend!!! Ready for this household to be well again! HA!!! Blessings!
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!
