rainbowsforever re: Math Vocabulary Cards {Aligned to 3rd Grade CCSS}
Hello
I located some of your resources via pinterest and have downloaded some. I am a teacher in the UK and have not seen the fonts or pictures that you and many other tpt contributors use anywhere. Could you please tell me where I can get hold of these? Is it some software or just a package that I can buy?
Also, if this isn't something I can access because I am in the UK I wondered if you could do a request? I downloaded your Habits of Happy Kids poster set which I LOVE, however as you can probably guess, some of the spellings are different to those in the UK. So I wondered if you would be able to adjust a set for me which I would obviously pay for, it's just I cannot put resources on display that have spellings that aren't from the 'Queen's English'! ;-) I want to display this as part of the my work on SMSC.
I would quite happily adjust them myself but obviously, and rightly, they are secured and copyrighted to you.
Thanks for taking the time to read this request, I appreciate it as I know just how busy teachers get!!! :-)

3rdGrThoughts  (TpT Seller)
Thanks for your question! Yes, each description comes with a graphic circle. The description pages are two-columned and several pages long, for you to keep close by and/or in your sub notebook, etc. There are even more graphic circles than descriptions, as some breaks are very self-explanatory (ex: Jumping Jacks). There are also four blank circles where you can type your own Brain Breaks. I hope this helps!

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 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!

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 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 :)

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 :)

jmcshane re: Hamburger Paragraph Planning Packet
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.
Thanks for sharing such a great resource!

Hi Jeanna,

I'm unable to send you an editable file because of the clip art copyrights, but if you could send me an email at 3rdgradethoughts@gmail.com we can work something out :)

Thanks!

Hi Kathy,

They are a part of the Letter Tiles Spelling Practice Packet. I also recommend contacting the company ProTiles- they have teacher discounts for actual tiles for the classroom :)

Thanks!

I love the posters for the 7 habits! I'm printing them as we speak... type... but the "examples" on the sides don't show. Any idea what I need to do differently? They don't show up on the dowloaded pages either. :(

Wow! I love the WBT lesson plan you developed. Thanks for sharing.

I was wondering if you could send it to me in a Document format. I tried to type in the PPT format you have, but it doesn't allow me to. I am trying to go digital this year and even use an on-line plan book (http://planbookedu.com/) where you can include attachments for lessons. It would be more useful to me if I could type in the boxes. Thank you for considering my request!

Hi J Girard,

Unfortunately, I don't have this file in DOC format :( Have you tried (in PPT) going to "Insert" and then "Text Box"? That's how I use it if I am going to type on it. Hope this works and enjoy the plans :)

amybennett re: Brain Breaks for the Classroom
I am excited to use Brain Breaks with my Autism population and have already directed other teachers/therapists to your materials. I would like to suggest a modification to include a short description on the back of each circle. Bringing these activities into the classroom makes a big difference for every age!

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!
