Dear Anna,
I LOVE these "I Can" statements! They are fabulous! I was wondering if there is any way of making these editable so that I may add my school districts outcomes in place of your outcome codes. Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks again for producing such great work!

Sincerely,

Hey Jill,

You have to have a special Adobe program to make files editable. I am looking into purchasing it in the future to allow editable features in my products.

Thanks for contacting me!

Hi Anna,
I love, love, love your math journals. I use them every day! As it gets closer to the end of the year in second grade, I am finding them too easy for most of my students(or course not all!). I was wondering if you have any that are geared more towards common core for second grade, or just more challenging? Love your store!!!

Anna, I bought and downloaded the file and most of the numbers and words are not printing. The word sort was ok and part of the time match was ok. The digital times, number riddles, abc order, making words, and measuring was either blank or had black marks on them. Let me know what I should do to remedy this problem. Our right to read week is a beach theme and am anxious to use the ideas. Thank you!

Hey there! Thanks you for your purchase! So sorry you are having problems opening the file. Try these troubleshooting tips and let me know if you still can't open the file.

1. Make sure you are using an up to date version of Acrobat Reader.
You can check the version by clicking Help then About from within
reader. If you have a version earlier than 5.0 or 6.0, you should
update your reader.
2. If you have a Mac, you may be opening it with a Mac program
called "Preview" and not even know it. Preview has documented problems
opening modern Adobe files. If you have a Mac, try opening Adobe
Reader first (rather than just clicking on the file), then open the
file within Adobe Reader. You may also choose to set the default
reader to Adobe Reader by following the instructions here.
To change the default reader on a Mac to Adobe:

----------------------------------------------

Click on the icon of a PDF file type then choose File --> Get Info
You will see a dialog box labeled something like this "sample.pdf" Info
Near the bottom, you will see a section titled "Open With:"
That indicates what application on you Mac is the default.
Click on the pop-up to bring up the list of possible applications
and select Adobe Reader (whatever version is installed), then click
"Change All" to make it the default application for all .pdf files.
The OS will then ask you if you are sure, click "Continue."
Now the Mac will use Reader instead of Preview.

Please e-mail me at crazyforfirstgrade@hotmail.com or contact TpT customer service through the contact us link if you still have problems with the document!! I really appreciate your purchase and want to make sure you can get the problem fixed!!

Thanks,
Anna

klfulenwider re: Winter Math Journal Prompts- Vol.1
Hi, Anna! I teach for a Virtual Academy. We are currently working on transitioning to using the Common Core Standards and looking for ways to incorporate Math Journaling into our classrooms. Doing this would mean that I would need to use your prompts in an electronic form. Is this a possibility, if, of course, credit was given to their creator? Our classes are hosted in Blackboard and only open to users that are enrolled in our classes. Thanks! :)

Hi! I was wondering if your writing math prompts match the first grade CCSS? You have both 1st and 2nd grade identified as the instructional level, but I can't read the examples you've thumb-nailed to see closely enough as to what level/age these best fit. I'd like to get math writing prompts for the first grade CCSS. Thanks for getting back to me!

Hi Anna!

I am such a dork. Today I bought this writing pack AND I also happened to purchase the informational and opinion packs separately. I thought this was only the narrative pack... I didn't realize there was even a pack with all three styles! So... would it be possible for me to get a reimbursement or can I spend the $13 on something else from your store? It was an honest mistake to purchase duplicates of your writing packs.

This looks excellent. Do you know if anyone has anything similar for 4th graders? I love this idea and working within the B.U.I.L.D. Framework! So creative!

I am a little confused why the price says 17.00 and then when I add it to my cart it shows 25. Can you please explain?

Oh my goodness! I have no idea why it's doing that! Make sure you didn't select to buy an additional license. If that doesn't work, please contact TpT because it must be something on their end not working!

Thanks so much for your interest in my store! I hope you enjoy the math journal prompts:)

Hi Anna! I enjoy reading your blog! I know from your blog that you use Investigations at your school- so do we. I was wondering if your journal prompts correspond with the units at all ( For example, do your Fall Journal Prompts include learning from Unit 1 and 2 ?) I was hoping to find math prompts that fit Investigations!

Hey there,
The math journal prompts are not based from the Investigations series, but I think they are a great addition to any math series! Check out the feedback on the prompts to see what other teachers are saying about them:)
Thanks so much,
Anna

alinasingletary33 re: Math Journal Prompts- The Complete Set!
Hi, I am enjoying using your prompts in my classroom. My students love it when one of their names happens to be used in the prompt. Is there any way to get a copy which can I can convert to Word or Pages so I can insert my own students names in the prompts before I print them? I tried using my Adobe converter and it didn't work for the file.
Thanks!

Hi Anna!
I love, love your HOTS activities- I am using them for a HOTS Readers' Response station in my special ed classroom wth my struggling readers to help them with higher order thinking skills. Also, would you be making any that would be applicable for middle school students? That would be awesome!!
I also really love the font you used for your cover-did you create the font or have a special program for it? I would love to know more about how to access it if possible.
My media specialist asked me today as I was laminating some covers of yours and I told her I would inquire about it- she loved it too!

As of right now, I do not have plans to make a set for middle grades! I'm going to stick with what I know, which is k-2:)

For the alphabet font, you can find it on letteringdelights.com.

Hey there! Thanks so much for your purchase! So sorry you are having problems opening the file. Try these troubleshooting tips and let me know if you can't still opening the file.

1. Make sure you are using an up to date version of Acrobat Reader.
You can check the version by clicking Help then About from within
reader. If you have a version earlier than 5.0 or 6.0, you should
update your reader.
2. If you have a Mac, you may be opening it with a Mac program
called "Preview" and not even know it. Preview has documented problems
opening modern Adobe files. If you have a Mac, try opening Adobe
Reader first (rather than just clicking on the file), then open the
file within Adobe Reader. You may also choose to set the default
reader to Adobe Reader by following the instructions here.
To change the default reader on a Mac to Adobe:

----------------------------------------------

Click on the icon of a PDF file type then choose File --> Get Info
You will see a dialog box labeled something like this "sample.pdf" Info
Near the bottom, you will see a section titled "Open With:"
That indicates what application on you Mac is the default.
Click on the pop-up to bring up the list of possible applications
and select Adobe Reader (whatever version is installed), then click
"Change All" to make it the default application for all .pdf files.
The OS will then ask you if you are sure, click "Continue."
Now the Mac will use Reader instead of Preview.

Please e-mail me at crazyforfirstgrade@hotmail.com or contact TpT customer service through the contact us link if you still have problems with the document!! I really appreciate your purchase and want to make sure you can get the problem fixed!!

Thanks,
Anna

Dear Anna,
Can we promote each other’s teaching products?

I’ve been looking through your teaching resources on TeachersPayTeachers and LOVE what you do. Like you I am trying to get as much exposure for my own products and I’m hoping we can help each other.

I have a list of approx.. 20,000 teachers (50% US/Canada, 25% UK, 35% rest of world) and would like to mention your products in my email newsletter. I am sure many of my teacher subscribers would be interested in seeing what you offer. In return, I am hoping you can help me too – while earning an additional 50% commission on our products in the process. If you have a way of contacting your customers (an email database, facebook site, blog), I can supply you with a brief details about our in-demand product: ‘Take Control of the Noisy Class’.

All you need to do is send the email/blog post/update out to your subscribers offering them to go and watch a few free video tutorials on managing tough student groups. The first 3 videos are free, after which viewers are offered the chance to purchase the full program. There is no hard sell and our videos are very popular (even though they’re a little ‘bootstrap’ in style having been filmed in our attic using a cheap flip cam!:). Any sales will result in 50% commission paid directly to you by Paypal.

I am hoping we can build up to regular co-promotions like this to boost both our respective sales and make 2013 a great year – while providing teachers with the help and resources they need.

If you would like to know more, please contact chris@behaviourneeds.com and he will send you full details of how we can work together.

Best wishes,
Rob Plevin

I LOVE your common core word wall packet. Do you think you will create one for third grade? I am moving to third grade next year (my principal has told me several times already) and I would love to go ahead and purchase your third grade set. I know there are others on teachers pay teachers, however, your first grade set has been the best. Thank you for your time!

Hey!Thanks so much for your sweet feedback about my 1st grade word wall. After a lot of thought, I've decided not to create a 3rd grade set at this time. I will let you know if anything changes. It's just been a hectic, crazy busy year & I don't want to bite off more than I can chew. Hope you understand!
Thanks so much,

Yes, the header cards are included in the download. There are 5 different styles. However, the standards are not included, just vocabulary words that were taken from the standards. Does this make sense? Please check out the preview to get an idea of what the cards look like!
