I have used this booklet with grades 3 and 4, and it is perfect for the beginning of the year, the first few days or the first week. The activities can be completed independently at this stage, allowing time to get to know the students in your class. Students in grades 1 or 2 would require too much direction and assistance, thereby defeating the purpose of the booklet. Students in grades 1 or 2 would not be able to create a number sentence based on the last 4 digits of their phone number or be able to accomplish the ABC math! Most activities can be adapted to meet the different needs in the classroom, building up every student's self esteem. For these reasons, I disagree that this is aimed at lower grades. The description is very specific about what the booklet includes. Mrs. E

My document did not open. I have bought a lot of items from the website and have been very pleased. This document had blurred rectangles all over it.
I am not sure who to contact for a refund, but it is unfortunately a useless document right now, and I would like $2.50 credited to my account.

Thank you for your prompt response! I just made my purchase and I would love it if you would share an word version so I can make spelling changes. My email address is amandapierce0515@yahoo.com

The Talented Mrs. E (TpT Seller)
Amanda, I sent you an email with the attachment. It's in Publisher, not Word. I hope that works for you! I did include additional pages in the download with the spelling changes, so have a look - maybe it will save you some time! Tanya

Amanda Pierce 17 (TpT Seller)
This is adorable! Is there any way that I could have the spellings of words like favourite changed to the American (favorite) after I purchase?
Also, I love your graphics! Where did you find them?

Thanks Amanda - I was wondering about the spelling after I had posted it! If it works for you, I could email you a Word document after you purchased it to change the words, or I could simply post additional pages with the American spelling. Let me know what works best for you. The graphics are from Lettering Delights. They had a great package deal - a bit tricky to use at first, but a great deal.
Thanks, Tanya Eluik-Prins
Amanda - I reposted the package with additional pages including the America spelling.
