QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Second Grade Stories (TpT Seller) re: 2nd Grade Geometry Math Partner Games: 8 games for 2D/3D shapes & equal shares
Hi Angela - I'm really interested these games, but I don't see a preview file. Could you either upload a sample of a couple games, or email me something so I can see a little more what the games are? ~ Lisa (secondgradestories@charter.net)
April 21, 2013
Angela Watson (TpT Seller)
Hi, there! I'm so sorry there wasn't a preview. I'm having trouble getting that particular preview to view properly on TPT--it has something to do with the file compression, and the TPT support is working on it. Until they've fixed it, I've uploaded the other preview file for you. All the content is there, but the border images and table lines aren't showing up. Hopefully that will still give you a good idea of what's included in the product. :)

Not seeing a preview button,below. Perhaps I am overlooking it somehow. Looks great!
March 13, 2013
Angela Watson (TpT Seller)
Yep, it's there! I just downloaded it to make sure. The button is right under the "Multiple Licenses" button. :)

fitnisfrk re: FREE Detailed Teacher To-Do Lists: Editable forms for short & long-term planning
Angela I'm a floater, so I've been trying different things to help organize my day. I like the idea of using a a to-do list, but when I look at the blanks and think about the time it will take to fill out the document and prioritize correctly, I feel daunted and hopeless! Do you have any suggestions on where I should start as a novice?

Thank you for this free sample, but when I downloaded it the cards didn't come up only a jpg of the fraction activities sample.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Turning Frowns Into Smiles Style Teaching (TpT Seller) re: 5th Grade Fractions Math Partner Games: 12 Games Designed for Common Core
Hello Angela, I believe I use to follow your blog a few years back when I taught 3rd grade. I believe it was Cornerstone Education and made a few comments on some questions you asked your viewers. Any how I was glancing through your directions and saw a minor error. If you go to the part of the directions where you mentioned about saving ink and time it is under that heading. I don't know if this questioning is private or not but I figured you would want to know about that. I didn't get a chance to read all the directions to notice anything else. Well it is good seeing you once again and I look forward to following your products.

Hi, there, thanks for reaching out! I see it--the word "are" needed to be deleted. Fixed it! I appreciate you letting me know. The Q&A is public: if you'd prefer to contact me privately in the future, my email is angelawatson [at] live [dot] come. Thanks again!

I have been unable to open the file since downloading it. I'm on a Mac computer, and I tried both preview and acrobat; neither worked. The message said that the file might be corrupted or of a type I couldn't open. I've never had this problem with TPT before - any advice?

Hello Angela,
First, I want to start by saying I am a huge fan of The Cornerstone website and books. They have been great resources. I also enjoy the products in your TPT store. Quick question, probably silly and random, but how do you create the materials you have in your store. I have been buying and downloading a lot of the materials on TPT but I want to start my own store. However, I have no clue where to begin. What software to use, where to find the graphic etc. Any tips? Your help will be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you for all your resources!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I was classroom teacher for eleven years, working first in Washington, D.C., and then in South Florida. In 2009, I started conducting literacy and math coaching for teachers for grades PreK-8, and added instructional technology coaching to the mix beginning in 2011.
I'm currently an Educational Consultant based in New York City. When I'm not conducting professional development in schools, I'm either working as an Educational Content Developer for BrainPOP or blogging and creating teacher resources. I love what I do and feel very blessed to have so many different types of opportunities to support teachers!
MY TEACHING STYLE
Classroom management is really the cornerstone of effective teaching (perhaps you're noticing a theme there with my materials?) and is a huge part of how I define my teaching style. I think classroom management gets a bad rap sometimes: people assume it's about controlling students' behavior and forcing compliance. It doesn't have to be that way! My goal is to support children in taking ownership of both the classroom and their own learning. I love empowering students to rely on self-control rather than teacher-control, and helping them follow their passions and interests.
Part of strong classroom management is creating and implementing lessons that are really engaging for kids. I try to use (and create) materials that go beyond just worksheets: my focus is on cooperative learning and group work, whole brain teaching, hands-on learning, technology integration, and getting kids actively involved in lessons. And I'm a huge advocate for 21st century skills, specifically the 4 C's: creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking.
The most important thing I try to impart to students is a love of learning, and the most important thing I try to impart to teachers is a love teaching. I believe the classroom should be a joyful and loving place where both kids and adults look forward to going to each day. The school system can sometimes make that difficult, but I hope to help teachers tackle some of the issues that drain their energy so they can focus on connecting with and enjoying their students.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
One of my most pivotal "shining teacher moments" came during my second year of teaching. I hadn't built up my immunity to kid germs yet and had been home sick with strep throat for two very long weeks. When I returned to school, my principal came running over to me, her eyes wide with amazement. "I poked my head in your classroom last week and I couldn't even tell you were gone! The kids just knew exactly what to do and kept doing it even when you weren't there to watch them."
That compliment made me feel so good! It solidified my passion for classroom management and inspired me to start a website to share ideas for creating a self-running classroom. I began taking photos to illustrate how I set up routines and procedures, and wrote tips for building a sense of classroom community and empowering students to take charge of their own learning.
Eventually the website grew into a book, then a webinar, then two more books. And now? I'm thrilled to continue creating resources here on TpT--I just started in September 2012. The goal is the same as it was back then: to help make teaching more effective, efficient, and enjoyable.
