This was a perfect way of keeping the children interested in our government unit. They loved it, and I love all of your products. This was my first year in third grade after 15 years in 2nd, so it was so helpful to have so many wonderful resources on your blog and here! Thank you!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
smannes re: Spring Into Test Prep {All Third Grade Common Core Standards}
Card #63 needs to be corrected. The y-axis label says "height" when the problem is asking about the total number. Can you please correct this? Also, I have a question about #86 - "Which rectangle covers the most area?" Shouldn't the figures either have numbers attached or be drawn on a grid? Sure we can look and see but the students, in my opinion, need to have a length and a width attached or have it drawn on a grid to see the square units. Is it possible to have that fixed?

Hi, Amber! I don't have a question. I just wanted to tell you how much I like your products. I teach children with multiple disabilities in the middle school and can see where I can use/adapt your materials for my kids. I will order activities as soon as I start to wrap my head around next year. Thanks so much for the freebies! Have a good summer!

Hi Amber! I love your "polka dot & chevron pennant welcome banner"! It is absolutely adorable and I cannot wait to use it in my classroom! I am moving this year to a dual language preschool & was wondering if you would be able to create one for me that says "bienvenidos." I am definitely willing to pay for it! I just wanted one that matched and thought yours was so cute! Let me know if this is possible or not. Thank you!

kylieyeomans re: Equal Groups Division Task Cards {Common Core 3.OA.2}
Hi Amber My name is kylie and I am a year 3 teacher in Victoria Australia. I used your equal groups cards with my grade today (which we loved - thank you) however, we noticed a small error. Question 17 is 7 x 5. In your answer sheet you have the answer as 45. (It obviously should be 35). I also noticed that question 13 had a minus sign instead of an equals sign. Is there any chance of having these update/fixed and then resent? I am a little OCD/anal retentive but I also work for a leadership team which are very judgmental and harse of teacher errors and do not approve of us using any material or making teacher made resources which are less then perfect.

I recently purchased All Star Math. There are a few mistakes. There are two 21's in the set of cards and a few errors on the answer key. 48/12= 4 not 3 and a few others that I can't remember off the top of my head. Is there any way that you could fix these and resend it to me?

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 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!

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,

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 :)

n/a 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

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!

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!
