QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Lisa Vanusek (TpT Seller) re: End of the Year "Color By Codes" {3rd Grade Common Core}
I purchased this product and LOVE it! On the Solving Multiplication Equations (3.OA.7) page (with kids & world on it), the directions say, "Solve each equation. Pay close attention to how many hundreds are in the product. Color according to the code on the bottom of the page." At the bottom of the page it tells the amount of TENS, not HUNDREDS as in the directions. Just needs to be fixed, otherwise a great end-of-the-year worksheet!

Amber,
I wanted to let you know that my students LOVE the plant lap book! Such a fun activity for the last few days of school! I also wanted to tell you about a typo on page 7 of the booklet (the "All About Seeds" page). The 3rd paragraph reads... "that get eaten be an animal". One of students found it, they're so good at that. They would never find a mistake in their own work though :-)

I am having issues with downloading one of your products. I get the following message:

Is there any way you could email me the Freebie?
I would greatly appreciate it.

I absolutely love your lapbooks! I was wondering if in The "Force is With Us!" I could get you to add one thing for me. For our Missouri curriculum we have to talk about types of motions. I was hoping I could get you to add a foldable just lke the types of friction, but with the types of motion - straight line, curved, vibrating (back and forth), circular. I'm sorry to ask, but I'm a little OCD and like everything to match!
You do absolutely wonderful work and am super pleased with everything I have purchased. I was wondering if you have any plans to do an animal lapbook (similiar to your plants lapbook)?? I would absolutely be your first purchaser!

cherityr re: "The Force is With Us!"- Force and Motion Lapbook Unit
Hi! I just purchased "The Force is with us" Lapbook. I'm very happy with the content, but a bit disappointed that it wasn't the Star Wars theme that was in the preview. Is there a way to chance the graphics before I print them?
Thanks,
Cherity

I was just wondering if you use word or powerpoint to create all your awesome materials? I absolutely loved your file I purchased.

Thank you so much! I use Powerpoint! I think that it is so much easier to use than Word. It is a lot easier to move graphics and text boxes around. :)

Good evening,
I just downloaded the Measurement Problem Solving Unit and it when I open it several pages have blurry sections. Have you had this problem before? I would love to use it but it is not working for me.
Thank you!

Hello! Please make sure you have the latest version of Adobe. This may be a cause of the issue.

lesqueda re: Celebrating Black History Lapbook Unit {Common Core}
Amber,
The updated version still has errors on p. 9. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on Dec. 1, 1955 and Medger Evers was assassinated on June 12, 1963. (The timeline has the correct dates.) I really do love this packet! We've already done the activities and the students enjoyed them. Just hoping to get these all fixed up for next year! Thank you :)

lesqueda re: Celebrating Black History Lapbook Unit {Common Core}
Thank you so much for being so quick to respond. A lot of the dates were mixed up in the text itself so they didn't match with the timeline dates. Maybe you can fix those. I redownloaded but it looks the same. Thank you!
February 26, 2013
Amber Polk (TpT Seller)
It should be fixed now. I just downloaded it and checked. The timeline dates and the text dates are corresponding. Please redownload it check again. Sorry for the confusion!

Hi Amber,
I recently purchased the Measurement Unit and it will print until page 23 and then I get an error message saying that there is memory error and it will not print. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so,how do I fix it?

I have not had anyone else share that they have had this happen to them. I would suggest making sure that you have the latest version of Adobe reader or contacting TPT Customer Support. I'm sorry that you are having trouble printing the document.

No, you are not being rude at all! It's crazy how many times you can look over something and not catch it! I just fixed it and I am uploading the newer version as we speak. Thanks for letting me know!

lesqueda re: Celebrating Black History Lapbook Unit {Common Core}
Hi Amber,
I purchased this product and was impressed with all of your great ideas. The timeline activity; however, has been a bit of a nightmare! Your dates are so mixed up! Would you please consider fixing all of the errors and updating your product? Thank you.

I am so sorry! I know it must have been so frustrating. I updated the file a few weeks ago and there must have been a glitch when I uploaded it! I have uploaded the updated copy again and when I test downloaded it was the correct file. The new file should have an answer key, as well as a corrected timeline. So please go to your My Purchases tab and redownload the file. Once again I am so sorry!
