When I look at my purchases, I can download, but there are still errors. For example, The Lizard and the Sun has several errors. If I go directly to TPT to "purchase it", it does not say I own it, which is why I was asking if I had to re-purchase to get the corrections. The item I am talking about is the Storytown crosswords for second grade. Thanks!

Auntlizzie,
I am extremely sorry! I only go on TPT through my iPhone app (besides uploading new units) and I have honestly not gotten any notifications that I even had comments or questions from buyers! This is so embarrassing!! I was actually shocked that a notification just popped up on my phone. maybe there is an update that I missed? Anywhos, thank you for you patience. I should be able to make those corrections that you mentioned in the next 2 days (hopefully sooner) since I am on spring break. Again, I am so sorry and extremely embarrassed!!

Hi April,
Thank you so much for your StoryTown robust vocabulary posters! My students and I just love them! They add so much to our lessons and I look forward to using them for years to come!
Right now I'm on Week 16 and saw that the poster for "cozy" (page 130) has the definition for the word "gently" printed on the bottom. Also, the poster for "underneath" (page 127)has the definition for the word "fleeing" on the bottom. Please let me know if this is something that you are able to edit.
Again, many thanks for this incredibly useful resource!

I think that the standards from the language section in the 2nd Grade Rockstar Common Core Standards are mis-numbered and one of the sub-standards is missing. I couldn't find the one for L.2.1D: Form and use the past tense of frequently occurring irregular verbs.

The ones you have labeled L.2.1D and L.2.1E should be L.2.1E and L.2.1F. Can you make a correction and reload an update when you have a chance? THANKS a lot!

I purchased your Rockstar Theme 2nd grade common core standards packet. I love them! They are perfect for the new theme I using in my classroom this year. I was wondering if you have student-friendly versions of the 8 Math Practice Standards from the common core in this theme as well. I would love to have them on full sheets of paper that I can display along with the content standards. I have found a few other sellers that have them but they don't match my theme! I know it is a busy time of year and you are probably doing a lot to prepare for the upcoming school year, but I would love to purchase them if you make them!

I will definitely look into what those are. Can you believe my school hasn't even started with the common core yet? So, I have not been to any trainings on the CCSS. Everything I have learned about it has been on my own, so I am not sure what the Practice Standards are :/ I will do some research and get those made as soon as I can :)

I need to clarify the last question I sent about requesting these posters horizontally. I need to print them in portrait style instead of landscape. I am wanting to put my standards in a pocket chart as we learn them so I need them to be skinny enough to fit in. The way you have them now, they are too tall. I hope this makes sense.

You are my new hero! :) I have taught Storytown for the last 4 years or so and honestly, it's not my favorite. I have been seeing all of the supplemental materials for Treasures and other series, but not Storytown. I'm SOOO glad you are doing these. If I knew how, I'd GLADLY help as well. But, I don't even know where to start. I know we are getting a new edition, once it's all aligned to common core for the 13-14 school year I believe. I just hope it all corresponds. :) Thanks for all your hard work!

Oh and I also use Kagan structures. :) I LOVE them and love that I'm able to do some of them on the spur of the moment. My district came to observe me and I had done a structure for the lesson and he loved it. :)I'm also a trainer of trainers for it. They are great. Anyway, thanks for your hard work!!

Hi,
This might be a dumb question, but how do you use these? Do you post the question each day or weekly? I really like them and have downloaded them, I'm planning on just putting them under the document camera and projecting them, but was wondering if you use them in some other way.

Thanks!

Also do you have the questions for theme 1?

I use them every morning as transition time between morning work/arrival and when we start our language arts block. The smaller versions are cut apart and the students glue them to the top of their new journal page. That way, when they take their journals home at the end of the school year, they know the question that was asked so that their answers make sense. I will try to get theme 1 done as soon as I can. I have a few other requests that I need to get done first, but bit will definitely be done before the new school year. :)

Hi April- I have two questions:
1) I bought the robust vocab from you and noticed a couple of lessons were different (I think #26 #28, and I am not sure if it was a mistake or if we have different versions of storytown. My copy is 2008.
2) I am not teaching 2nd grade next year, but working as a facilitator for our staff. Do all of our teachers need to buy the words or can one 2nd grade teacher buy them, then share with the two other 2nd grade teachers?
Thank you! I love the cards, they are a great visual.

I have absolutely NO problem with you sharing the them with the othe second grade teachers.

I'm not sure if they are different. But, I would be happy to make new posters especially for you (free of charge, of course) using the same format. All I would need for you to do is email me the vocab lists for those lessons that are different. My email is ajohnson45039@yahoo.com.

I use the smaller versions of the questions every day in my class.

This way, when they take their journals home at the end of the school year, they can look back and see what question it was that they answered. The parents really appreciate it too because it shows how their child is thinking and it makes a great keepsake for the parents. :o) Thanks for the kind words!
