I like the following directions freebie but there are alot of black lines and wont print well. Any suggestions?
May 8, 2013
Alessia Albanese (TpT Seller)
Hi there,
Many people have purchased and uploaded this file without any probelms. Try this suggestion from TpT and if that doesn't work, I would contact TpT to let them know:
"If you purchased/downloaded a PDF and it is blurry/black lines after you open it, solve it this way: on a MAC or PC, install the latest version of ADOBE READER. Then, open the file with ADOBE READER. That's it. On a MAC, make sure to "Open With" ADOBE READER and NOT Preview. If it's still blurry, that's because you are still opening it with Preview!"
That way, you can prevent this from happening again.
Hope this helps! Thanks for your purchase!

Thank you for your quick response. I will download the Under the Sea book again.
As to the Penguin Parade Sight Word packet, I did originally find it on your blog. When you click to download, it takes you to the TPT sight and to the Penguin Beginning Sound Packet. That is how I realized the mix up of the packets on TPT.

Problem: 1. I love your Under the Sea big book and emergent reader. When I printed the big book, the words starfish and octopus did not print correctly although in the print preview they show up correctly.
2. I want to download you Penguin Parade sight word packet. The picture of the packet shows on your TPT list, but in the print part it is listed as Penguin Beginning Sound Game, which is what you get when you download. However, the thumbnails show the sight word packet.
I would appreciate any assistance you can give.

Hi Pat! Oh, my goodness! Thank you so much for pointing out the Penguin Parade/Beginning Sounds issue - I have no idea what happened but I fixed it. Now when you go to download the Penguin Beginning Sound game it should show the correct thumbnails AND attachment. The Penguin Parade Sight Word packet was a freebie from my blog. Check there - I didn't list it on TpT. As far as the Under the Sea freebie book, I am not having any trouble downloading/printing it. I'm not sure what the issue is. Perhaps you want to contact TpT? I don't think it's an issue on the website - sometimes you have to upgrade Adobe (free) and then try viewing and printing. Please e-mail me if you are still having trouble and I can send you the file via e-mail.

Hi, Alessia,
I just entered the New Year's Eve giveaway (how awesome are those prizes?) and have a question for you. I am now subscribed to all 12 TPT stores and blogs, but I am not sure that I have the same email for all accounts. I have been a subscriber to many for a while now, and some may have my personal email while others now have my work email. How can this be confirmed in the fantastically likely event (okay, all my fingers and toes are crossed) that I am chosen then checked out for validity for this or another giveaway? Short of going back through and re-registering with another email to all the blogs/stores I follow, can you help?
Thank you!

Hi Alessia,
I purchased the playdough fun a while back and I really like the product. However I was wondering if you would be willing to add a couple of pages to this pack. I would like a t that doesn't have a hook on the bottom, and alternative styles for the numbers 1, 3 and 4 (e.g. straight line for 1, curved line at the top of the 3 and the other style of 4).
Thanks,
Linda

Sure, I can do that for you. You will have to give me a few days....I'm going to check which font will work best.

Please e-mail me at kindergartenteacher@rogers.com and I will send you the new pages by the end of the weekend.

mbertocchi re: Write the Room Literacy Centers - The Complete Set
On the sheets where the students write the longest word and shortest word, would it be possible to change the length of the lines? One of my kindergarten students asked, "Why do we write the shortest word on the long line and the longest word on the short line?" I thought it was very perceptive. If you are looking to improve the product, I think changing the length of the lines to match the word would be helpful for the students that are not able to read longest and shortest.

Hi Alessia,
I downloaded your whole year. Of writing the room.
When I go to open it, there a many black streaks where I think words might go.
Is there anything I could do to fix the problem?
Thanks!

Hi there! I would contact TpT to let them know of this problem you are having and also try their suggestion:
"If you purchased/downloaded a PDF and it is blurry/black lines after you open it, solve it this way: on a MAC or PC, install the latest version of ADOBE READER. Then, open the file with ADOBE READER. That's it. On a MAC, make sure to "Open With" ADOBE READER and NOT Preview. If it's still blurry, that's because you are still opening it with Preview!"
That way, you can prevent this from happening again. Remember that the Write the Room Complete Set is a ZIPPED file meaning that you will have to EXTRACT each file individually and save them so that you can use them. You shouldn't have the black lines. Hope this helps!

I am having trouble downloading the whole set to my school computer even after creating space as suggested by the downloading wizard ;-) Is there a way for you to send t to me in smaller portions? Sorry to bother you about this but I am so excited to use it with my students. Thanks for your time!
November 26, 2012
Alessia Albanese (TpT Seller)
Hi LilaRose,
Each file is a compressed file so that means you have to click and open each one, and resave it that way. Try that. I can e-mail them to you but it will take a very long time. It would be much easier to open each one. Let me know if this works. Email me at kindergartenteacher@rogers.com Thanks!

Hi Alessia
I am so excited as I prep the Bears unit that I am thinking about your Write the Room. I am wondering about a Canadian version of either the Bears Write the Room or the entire set. Does one exist?
Also, before I buy an individual one any chance you will catch the American "Black Friday" fever and have a sale as I might wait and buy the full set if so.
Thanks,
Tracey

Hi Tracey! Thanks for the sweet comment...yes, I do have the Write the Room sets with the Canadian spellings (only a few words in each set change). I don't sell them as most of my customers are from the US but if you do buy a set or all of them, please let me know and I can send them to you via e-mail. I will be joining in on the Cyber Monday sale next week in case you want to stock up your cart now. Thanks so much! :)

Hi Marjan,
Sorry for the late reply. My married name is Albanese so I asked my father-in-law if we have any relatives in Welland, ON. It turns out that his brother's son (named John Albanese) lives is a forensic science professor at the Univeristy of Windsor. That's the only John Albanese related to us so I don't think it's the same one. :) Thanks for asking though!

October 26, 2012
Alessia Albanese (TpT Seller)
Sure, Kristy! Here's what's included for math:
- How Many Spots on the Cow? game where students count and match the correct number from 1-10 OR they can clip clothespins to the cow as they count out
- Roll-An-Animal Graph -> you can play this in various ways. I have included a die as well as cut-outs of each animal where you can give them to your students in a baggie and have them count out and graph how many they have
- there is a follow-up Tally sheet to accompany the above graphing activity
There are also a LOT more activities for your pocket chart station, journal writing, sorting animals (farm vs. zoo), story, class book and more! Thanks for the question!

Hi Anna-Marie! This unit has A LOT of activities (seriating, counting, ordering numbers, ABC fun, sight word identification, etc.) - most of them involve pumpkins, not Jack-o-Lanterns. There are 3 activities in the unit with Jack-o-Lanterns:
- CVC word match
- patterning
- my original story
.....but I can easily modify them and use pumpkin pictures instead of Jack-o-Lantern pictures if you were to purchase the unit. Please let me know if you do purchase it so I can revise it and e-mail you that one.

tu55ck re: Playdough Fun! (Literacy and Math Center Activities)
Hi Alessia,
I have used your Playdough Fun for both my math and literacy stations. I have a question though. I downloaded the packet and made 1 copy of each page from the computer. Now I would like to make several copies of each page (to go in the literacy center supporting letters we are learning about this week) and when I went to copy it (from the computer) only the border would copy, not the specific letter or number. What am I doing wrong? I finally used the ones I had previously copied and put the hard copy through the copy machine and it worked. Any thoughts?

Hmmm...I have no idea! You should be able to print the page multiple times. Are you using a different computer to access the document? If so, see if the latest version of ADOBE READER is installed. Then, open the file with ADOBE READER. That's it. On a MAC, make sure to "Open With" ADOBE READER and NOT Preview. If it's still blurry, that's because you are still opening it with Preview!

Hi! It's a scarecrow glyph the kids make using brown paper lunch bags (you can use various sizes)...hmmmm...if you enlarge the templates included in the pack you could make the scarecrow glyph REALLY big by using those large brown paper leaf bags (you know, the ones that you stuff with leaves for garbage collection?). He would be gigantic! Could that be what you were thinking? Hope this helps! :)

I just down printed out your playdough letter and number mats. I noticed that your "tall" letters do not touch the top line. I also noticed your numbers 3 and 4 are a "little" different that Zaner Bloser. Do you offer Zaner Bloser print.
September 11, 2012
Alessia Albanese (TpT Seller)
Hi! I actually purchased a font to use for this activity - it's called "Penmanship Print" and it has the lines already built in when you type out the letter (meaning I can't edit the letters at all). I use this font for everything so that my kids can stay within the lines (names, sight words, etc.). I am so sorry that you don't like the font - it does appear on my preview thumbnail pictures. I don't have a Zaner Bloser font. I will be willing to correct the pages for you in that font (I'm going to search for it now)- please e-mail me at kindergartenteacher@rogers.com and we can touch base then.

Hi Lucia! Thank you!
