Hello! I recently purchased this product and LOVE it, but am thinking that the examples (even the longer ones) are too easy for my 4th and 5th graders. Will you be coming out with examples that fit more of the 4th/5th level? Really hope so! Thanks!

I purchased your witing center starter kit over the summer and I am just now assembling it for my work on writing station. I noticed their wasn't a sign or example for a "book review." I have been teaching this kind of writing to my class and would love to have it be a part of my display. Can you possibly add a sign and an example of a book review? Thanks

I saw that someone else asked about templates... do you plan on adding templates for some of the writing choices at any time? Are there any assessment tool or rubrics included in this kit?
September 2, 2012 Report inappropriate comment

Hi Brandy! At this time, there aren't any assessment tools or rubrics included-- only the writing examples and reference sheets for your students. I can certainly add a pack of templates for the writing choices to my shop! Thank you for your inquiry! :)

Hi Ellen! Thanks for your purchase! That's very strange... do you have an updated version of Adobe? If not, then that could be why the graphics are not showing... try once more and if it doesn't work please email me at acupcakefortheteacher@gmail.com!

I recently purchased your writing center and I have put it together and I'm waiting for the start of the school year to see how it goes. Thanks a lot for the work you put into it. What I would like to know is what font or program you used to get the dotted lines that continued across the page even when you spaced. I have trace (handwriting) fonts but the dotted lines stop when I space. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. If you're not sure what I mean refer to the page with the lion and zebra. Thanks again.

Hi! I'm so glad you like the set!! There is a font called "Penmanship Font" and it's a free DL {just type it into Google}. To get the spaced dotted lines, you will need to hit the ```` key, which is located next to the 1. :)

Hi, This is awesome. Because it is difficult to see all of the graphics I do have a question. I teach level II and III HIGH SCHOOL special education. This is the level that many of my students are at; however, I was wondering if the graphics could be considered "age appropriate" for young high school students.
August 17, 2012 Report inappropriate comment
n/a
Hi there! Thank you! Well, this unit was made for young elementary... so the graphics are more "cartoony." But if you think that your students could benefit from the center itself, I'd say that the graphics would be fine. If you want you can email me at acupcakefortheteacher@gmail.com and we can talk more!

Hello, I am working on setting up my writing center and I was wondering if your collection includes a recipe card or if you just used writing paper? I was hoping to find an actual recipe card that was large enough for the students to write on, and if I cannot of course I will make my own.

Hi! Thank you for your interest in this product! :) The set only includes examples of writing pieces like the recipe. There are no templates for students to write on...

This pack is great! I love that you include examples for older and younger children. Is it possible to include an example of a story for older children as well with indentation? Also, on the letter and post card is there a way to include the date and indentation? Lastly, can you please make an add on for "Cursive—Zaner-Bloser, Simple"? Thank you so much!

I purchased the Writing Center and LOVE IT!!!!! I just put it together and can not wait to use it in my classroom. I am teaching 3rd grade this year, so my question for you is do you have anything to go with this center for the kids as they progress through the year? Does that make sense? For example.....a longer recipe, list, or poem? A story showing how to use paragraphs? Just curious, thanks!

I use it during center time! My students can go to the writing center {or math center} and choose what they'd like to write {or see examples of how to do a math problem}. They can use these centers as reference tools! The pieces would also make a great bulletin board display. Thanks so much for your interest!! :)

I am cutting my laminated writing center pieces right now. I can't wait to get it up in my room! Would you be able to do the alphabet chart in D'Nealian? I noticed it as I was cutting. I don't think the writing samples would matter. If not, no problem! I still love it and will use that chart anyway.

Where did the cute clip art frames for your topics come from? I would like to make "Write in a Class Journal" and "My Writing Journal". While I'm making individual writing offices, I'm also printing them larger for "work on writing" choices for my daily 5! Thanks so much!

I absolutely LOVE your writing and math center kits! I teach a self contained classroom and I try to limit the amount of stimulating visuals on the walls, but there are so many important visuals I want the kids to be able to reference. These tri folds are such a great idea and the answer to my problem! Do you have any plans to make one for reading??
