Hi Stephanie!

I am IN LOVE with this download. Thank-you!

I just wanted to double-check with you on something - our school would like to use your posters as a 7 Habits Clip Chart. The students would get to move their clip to the Habit that they are displaying.

We would need to print about 40 copies in order to equip each classroom.

Would you feel comfortable with this? If you need to respond to me directly, my email is ehinz@lcps.k12.nm.us

Thanks!

I absolutely love your reading response menus and they've been on my wishlist for a bit. I just found out I will be moving back to second grade after 3 years in 3rd and wanted to take a shot in the dark and ask if there is any chance in the world that you'd make these for second grade to fit the common core at that grade level. I am sure it's a ridiculous amount of work but thought I would ask!

Hi Stephanie, I've just downloaded your 7 Habits posters to put up in my classroom, they look fantastic - I can't wait to get them up in the room! I'm not sure if anyone has noticed or not, but the first 2 sentences on the Habit 1 poster are missing full stops (periods). I just wanted to give a quick heads up while I noticed, in case you weren't aware, etc.
Love your work!

Hi Stephanie,

I love your work and thank you for sharing your creativity. I've purchased from you before. I like these mountain climber assessment posters.

My only hesitancy in purchasing these right away is that the skin color of the children in the posters does not reflect the population that I teach. Have you considered making a second set to sell that is fully multicultural. I teach at a school where 100% of our students are children of color.

Just a thought!

Thanks,

Mary-Eileen

Hi Mary-Ellen,

I completely understand your concern. While there are some children of color represented, I do not have clip art that is 100% multicultural and shows them in climbing gear. I apologize for that, but I don't make the clip art, so I am bound by what they produce. Thanks for your question and your support of my store. Have a wonderful weekend :)

Hi, this sounds like a great idea and I'm thinking of buying it. I am new to TPT so I don't know exactly how it works. I am wondering how long I have access to printing it. If I bought it tonight for example but want to wait until I get a color printer (sometime next month), do I just access my purchases and then print it? Am I only able to print it once? Thanks for your time!

3rdGrThoughts  (TpT Seller)
Hi there,

You are able to access your purchases forever on TpT! All you will need to do at any time is log in and go to the "My Purchases" tab on top. From there, you will have access to all of the materials you have purchased and can print them/download them as many times as you need. Each purchase is good for one classroom, so if another teacher at your school would like to use the resources, you can purchase "Multiple User Licences" at discounted prices.

Hope that helps and welcome to TpT- you will love all of the resources and all of the time you save :)

Thanks,

Hi Michelle,

I have found that when I need to copy color items, it's best to adjust the print settings to either "grayscale" or "black and white"-- this gives me the best b&w copy that is easy to make additional b&w copies from. For some reason, color just doesn't like to be copied into b&w :)

Hope that helps!

Hello,
Thanks for this great package! The students are really understanding paragraph structure with the help of these sheets. I have one questions. The language the students are used to using is a bit different from what you had on your hamburger. I'm wondering if it would be possible for you to send me an editable file so that I can change the words on the hamburgers (i.e. we use the words topic sentence instead of introduction sentence) If you can't send an editable file, please let me know if you might be able to change some words for me and send that file.

Hi lauramae,

That will sometimes happen with downloads from TpT if you are using Preview or an older version of Adobe. You can download the most recent update from the "My Downloads" page. If that desn't help, email TpT Support- they are fabulous and will be able to help you out super-quick :)

Thanks so much!

Hi,

I just emailed you about the foreign language. Apparently this is an issue my mother in law has off and on with her computer. Sorry! I'm using her computer since she has a color printer. I think she can fix it. :)

Hi Kristen,

Just saw your messages- I hope you get it fixed, but if not, email TpT support and they can help :) Thanks so much and enjoy! Those are my kids' two favorite activities!

vancik re: Ways to Write a Number: Monster Math
I just bought this set and it looks like it could be so fun, but half of the pages have NO words or symbols and the intro, thank you and direction pages came through blank as well???
Any suggestions how I can get this product with all that should come with it?

Hi vancik,

Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Reader (not Preview) and everything will appear normally. If the problem persists, contact TpT Support and they can help you further :) Thanks so much and enjoy!

YEAAAA!! I've been wanting to make this sign myself but don't have the "fancy" skills yet! :-) Your blog has been a lifesaver as I've switched to third grade this year after teaching first for 15 years! :-) I'm thrilled to get the email about this new item! IF you got a chance though and it wasn't too difficult, I'd love a version that says SEE three before me. That's how I've said it for yeeeeears. I'd be willing to pay for it. THANKS!

I love this idea! If you purchase the document can you edit the monster cards? I teach second grade and would like some options for my lower guys :)

Please let me know when if and when you will be doing customized signs. Rule # 5 is different at my school. I love your signs and would be interseted if I could change the last rule.

Does this only go to the hundred's place or does it also have examples into the thousands?

Hi siering,

This activity has kids practice numbers up to the hundreds place. The thousands became too tricky when it came to showing place value blocks :)

Thanks,

Love your blog and products! I just downloaded your Whole Brain Teachish Rules and Words with Clipart (Mirror, Teach, etc). I am also at a PBIS school and was looking for rules that would fit in with our schoolwide rules - PERFECT! Silly question, but our school does them in a different order - Respect Yourself, Respect Others, Respect Our School - any chance I could order one from you that does that order? Thanks!

Do you have a version of the word worth with dollars too? Also how does the place value work and what place does it go up to?

Hi Amy,

I do have a product with dollars sold on its own- it's Word Worth #2. Check out my store to see other variations.

Place value uses ones, tens and hundreds to make a word.

Hope that helps!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching for the past eight years, the majority of which have been in 3rd grade. It was my favorite grade as a student and my favorite grade as a teacher :) I have also taught 2nd and 5th in both the city and now the 'burbs.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My style includes a mixture of humor, activity, and high expectations. I love adding in movement and music whenever I can. We use a lot of Whole Brain Teaching strategies as well as Brain Breaks throughout our day to keep things fun!
