Amy,

When I download this tonight, it is opening up the Lesson 28: Working in Space with some updated slides I think. So, when I download Working in Space I get the file with the vocab pages that aren't complete and when I open Two of Everything I get the Working in Space file with the edited slides. Can you let me know how I can get the Two of Everything file? I love your lessons and am teaching Two of Everything this week.

Thank you!

Hi! Just wanted to say that my class LOVES your SMART Board lessons. I have been purchasing them ever since we got our SMART Board in January! This week, we are doing Lesson 28- Working in Space. I noticed on day 3 and 4 that the vocabulary games (with the random selections) are not working. It is only showing what needs to be edited. We just skipped over it, no big deal. Just hoping it will be fixed for next year! Also, do you still plan on adding Grammar skills and writing to the lessons? That would be awesome! I was curious if the price would go up? I have not purchased the first half yet because we did not have a SMART Board then. I would love to own them all! :) Thanks so much!

I will be updating ALL of the second gr lessons to include grammar and writing-no price change. So all the lessons already purchased will just need to be downloaded again. You will be notified when they are uploaded again. Thanks again and hope your end of the year isn't too crazy!

Amy Schwab  (TpT Seller)
Hi Carolyn - First Question - when you go to print, do you have the option to choose SMART Notebook Document Writer? If so, you are all set! Just open files - projectables, practice book pages, word doc, whatever - that you could print and choose this option. You will be prompted with another box letting you know the objects can not be moved - no problem, just click ok. The file will then load and open into an untitled SMART Notebook file. I just drag the pages into my files where I want to use them. Be sure to lock your pages down so when you erase, they don't move or disappear!

I also have this available if you would like to print something out from my site free - http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/How-To-SMART-Notebook-Document-Writer

If you do not have this option available, then you could ask your tech dept to possibly include it if they do upgrades over the summer. At home, I have it on my computer. It was automatically downloaded with the software.

Please let me know if you have any problems are confusion. It's really very simple once you've done it!

Good Luck!

Amy

The lessons are focused on the skills as presented in the series. From my own experience the skills do closely follow the CCS, but I have not checked to make sure all standards are met. The PowerPoint supports fluency of high frequency words. I do think all the comprehension skills follow closely, but additional slides may need to be added to support your district requirements. I hope this helps.

Amy, I plan on comparing the two Journeys editions this summer and I will keep you posted on my findings. My email is JamesTeach2@gmail.com. We were lucky we got to keep all the materials for the 2011 Journeys we piloted, today we received the 2014 leveled readers and vocabulary readers and I was trying to organize the leveled readers and noticed some of them were changed as well. :( I am going to start writing everything down and then I will send it to you. Are you using Journeys? If so what edition are you using? I havent used a basal in years and just love this program. I have noticed my students are really learning the vocabulary due to the fact that the voc. is used throughout all the materials in the program. I teach in New York in the suburbs, we are about 45 minutes north of New York City.I teach in a small school district. I will keep you posted on what I noticed about the two series. James :)

Hi Amy, it's me again. I was wondering, we are doing an author study on Cynthia Rylant, by any chance do you have any Smartboard Notebook files that you have made on Cynthia Rylant books? Also, we just received the new 2014 Journey's Teachers Editions and I noticed that they replaced Lesson 25: How Groundhog's Garden Grew with FROM SEED TO PLANT by Gail Gibbons. If I notice any other changes, I will let you know. Thanks again for all your hard work. James :)

Hi James!
Sorry - I haven't created any files for author studies....yet! However, if you'd like you could provide me with the skills, vocab and stories you use and I could try to develop something for you to possibly use next year???? Let me know and we can connect through e-mail!

As for Lesson 25 - are the skills/ high frequency words the same? I can possibly try to make changes or rearrange file lessons - if you think that would work.

Thanks for your positive feedback:)

Thanks Amy for your quick response. I wish I could purchase them all at once, but not sure we will be doing every story. We are mapping out our curriculum now for the new Common Core, URGH! What a lot of work and a waste of time. Journeys 2014 edition is aligned to the Common Core. We piloted the 2011 edtion in January and then they came out with the newer edition, so we are going with that. From what I can tell all the stories are the same, a few of the short stories that go with the Anchor texts are different. Thanks again Amy. I love your work!

Hi Kelly!
So glad the lessons have been helpful for you! I am considering working on 3rd gr lessons this summer. I have found as a 2nd gr teacher how helpful it has been personally to better understand what is taught in first. To have that understanding of 3rd would also be beneficial.
I plan to send a note to all my followers once my summer plans are confirmed to let everyone know what I will be creating and updating!
Thanks again,

suzannegunn re: How To: SMART Notebook Document Writer
Hi,
I have bought almost all of your Jouneys smartboard lessons for first grade and love them. I often pull up the parts where the kids drag the magnet letters up and let them do that during my stations. Here is my question. Do you sell just the magnet letters part or even just the dice part? I feel like it would be easier for me to have a folder of just those to pull up rather than having to find the correct day on the lesson part. I hope this doesn't sound confusing.

Hi!
If you are using SMART Notebook software, you have these activities available within that program. The magnets are called Fridge Magnets. You can search it within the program - click on the picture frame type icon on the side. For the dice, you can also search dice and then program them any way you'd like.

Or...you can clone the page I have in the file and drag it to an open Notebook file to use independently. I hope this helps you. Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any other questions and I'll do my best to help you!

Hi Amy,
Unit 4 Lesson 16 only has the words to know for that lesson. It doesn't have all of the words to know from the previous lessons. Can you add them please? I can't figure out how to do it.
Thanks!

Hi
Thanks so much for all of your work. It is hard to scroll thru the site without the units in order - i have purchased all first grade lessons up to 5-22. Are there more that I am just not finding or have you not done those yet? I'd love to get them while on sale.
thanks!

Thanks so much - I'm glad you are able to use the lessons. I also understand your frustration with finding lessons. I have no control over how they are presented to you. I have up to lesson 22 done.

Hi Amy,

I teach Kindergarten and use the Houghton Mifflin Journeys. Your Smartboard Lessons are great! Are you planning on making them starting with Unit 1, Lesson 1? When I look online they seem to be random lessons from different units and they don't start from Unit 1. I would love to know if you have them starting from Unit 1, Lesson 1. Thanks so much! I am planning on purchasing them all if you have them.

Sincerely,
Dena

Thanks so much Dena! I started with unit 3 I think??? The K team in my building requested them and I was already trying to do the first grade lessons, so I didn't get started right away! I will continue to complete the rest of the units this year, then go back over the summer to get the units I missed at the beginning.

Sorry about how they are organized - I think that is a TpT thing. I've tried to title them in a way that they would be in order and easy to locate, but that doesn't seem to help.

Hi - I have a question. Our district just adopted Journeys in January. We are wanting to buy all of your Units for Grades kindergarten, first, and second grade. We will be purchasing 5 for kindergarten, 3 for first grade, and four for second grade. Is there anyway you can bundle the units or give some type of group discount. Thank you so much in advance.

I am having a hard time clicking on the book to listen/watch the story. I re-downloaded, but still not working. I don't know if it is a tech problem on my end or your.

Hi - I also have had this problem and I have found it usually to be a slow connection from my school. Are you able to try to open the link at home? This is what I did and I was able to open it easily from home, which narrowed the problem down to something at school or a problem on the site based end. I will check out the file at home just to make sure though that there is nothing wrong with the file.
Thanks for letting me know!
Amy

I checked the file and all links are attached and working. The link on the home page does take a while to open due to it's size. Hope this helps!

Do you have a SMARTBoard? Notebook software comes with your board - if that is what you mean by wanting to download the program. If you mean the story file, then when you click to download choose 'save as' and browse for your flashdrive usually found under My Computer. Once your flashdrive is found, then save. Or you can save as to your desk top, then open you flashdrive window so it is smaller and drag the story file to your flashdrive. I hope that makes sense for you. If not, let me know and I will try to help you.

Hi Amy!

My school just purchased the Journeys reading program, and we will be starting unit 4/lesson 16 on the 28th. We downloaded the lesson 15 to look at, and we are wondering if you can include any of the oral vocabulary within your smart file? Thank you! :)

Hi Rachel-please email me and let me know what your student expectations are with the oral vocab. I have looked at that information, but I'm not sure of how it's used/introduced in classroom. I will be happy to include something to support. My email is
