Hi
I was wondering if you are able to change words to reflect British/Canadian spelling such as favourite, behaviour, colour if I purchase your unit?

Also, I may have a split class next year,can you also incorporate that?

I LOVE this and have been trying to find something to send with my second graders this summer! Would you be interested in creating something similar for second graders going into third grade? Or do you know of a second grade teacher that might be willing to create something similar. I would be so appreciative!

It sounds like you need to update your Adobe. Are you using a MAC?

If you ARE on a MAC, I suggest you try doing this:

Good luck!!!

This sometimes happens when PDFs are opened in the Mac's native PDF program ('Preview') instead of Adobe Reader. So you'll need to open this with the latest Adobe Reader which can be downloaded from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/

IMPORTANT PART! :) Don't open the file by clicking on it (as this will automatically open it with Preview). Instead, launch Adobe Reader then go to 'File'-->'Open...', and select the PDF that way."

If you are NOT on a MAC, I suggest opening a ticket with TPT using this link: https://support.teacherspayteachers.com/Report-An-Issue.html


Thanks so much! So sorry for the inconvenience. xoxo

Good luck!!!

This sometimes happens when PDFs are opened in the Mac's native PDF program ('Preview') instead of Adobe Reader. So you'll need to open this with the latest Adobe Reader which can be downloaded from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/

IMPORTANT PART! :) Don't open the file by clicking on it (as this will automatically open it with Preview). Instead, launch Adobe Reader then go to 'File'-->'Open...', and select the PDF that way."

Can you please provide a few more details in your description? How many pages are in this packet? Are these just posters or are there worksheets as well?

Hi Lyndsey,

I just purchased your CC resources kit...love it!!! Is there anyway I could get a list of the suggested books you show with each standard? I didn't see it when I printed off the pack.
Thanks,

Love the pack! Just a question, when I downloaded it, there were black bars where I think there should have been text. For example, on snack/chat, it's just black bars. Could it be that I'm on a Mac?

Yes...I think a lot of the 2nd grade standards would align with 3rd grade. Some of them may be slightly different.

When I download and open the MLK packet, several pages have a "color" bar going across it. It is a black and white bar. For example, the page with the book covers has 2 book covers and 2 "black and white color bars."

Thanks!

I contacted TpT support and I did what they suggested. It worked perfectly. I've included the comment so that it helps others encountering the same situation.

Hi there, I'm so sorry! This is an easy fix. It sounds like you may need to download the newest version of Adobe. I've heard that can be a problem sometimes from other sellers.

Here is the link to get the newest version of adobe:

Hi, A Year of Many Firsts! This packet looks great, but I don't have at least one of the fonts you are using. It is the one you used on the pages headed "A Quick Note:" "Problem And Solution:" "Snack and Chat"pages; the heading on the Character Traits page; and the top box on the right on the "Character Chat" page. There's a couple others, but thought that might help. Would like to download that font, so I can utilize this awesome packet. Thanks in advance for your help. Beth Leibold, Texas
