Does this unit have math worksheets, addition AND subtraction?
May 14, 2013
April Larremore (TpT Seller)
No. I am sorry. It does not. It is more for whole group lessons and crafts and activities related to oviparous animals.

If you will email me at april.larremore@gpisd.org, I will send you some amphibian pictures.

inglis re: Presidents and Their Pets
Hello! the kids just love your types of animals sort. But... there were no amphibians?!!? Was that my oversight when I printed or was there just none included?
April 24, 2013
April Larremore (TpT Seller)
The pets in this unit are actually pets that past presidents have had. The information came from a book on presidential pets. I actually think I remember them not having any amphibians for pets.

malcolkm re: Let's ROCK On! a unit on rocks
Hi, This packet shows a black mark on the pages rather than the actual unit. I think there is a problem with the file downloaded. Please let me know if you can fix it.

It may be the browser you are using when you download it. That is typically the problem when I get a question like this. Try downloading it using another browser. If that does not work then send me your email address and I will try sending it that way.

sdshiper1 re: Celebrating Texas
Is the State Symbols Book "Texas, Texas What do you see?" in with this unit?
March 6, 2013
April Larremore (TpT Seller)
No, the Texas Texas book is not in the unit. I am actually not sure which book you are referring to. Is it in a post? If it is, can you send me the link?

I saw all of it too! It's super confusing!

Haley O'Connor (TpT Seller) re: Some Seussical Fun
Hey April! I am so glad I follow your store! Your stuff is adorable! :) I didn't know if you knew, but Dr. Seuss has caused a lot of issues for TPT. :( They issued a cease and desist order, and don't want their name or anything like their name on it. Didn't want you to get in trouble! :)
March 3, 2013
April Larremore (TpT Seller)
Haley- I thought that was the case but then when I logged on to TPT yesterday I saw all of these things that had Dr. Seuss' name and the cat and the hat on it. I was really confused. I put my unit back up but I will take it down again. Thanks for clarifying for me.

abudimlija re: Presidents and Their Pets
Hello! Just bought the presidential pets, and the labels did not show up. There was not the word "reptiles" was not next to the small picture of the snake. It was just blank.
Thanks, this looks darling!

Did everything else show up except for the animal labels? Was it all of the animal labels? What is your email address? Let me try sending it that way. I will double check the download when I get home but it was showing on my computer last night. What browser were you using? Sometimes that makes a difference. You might try using a different browser and downloading it again.

Does this unit have a list of the common core standards it covers?

No. I am sorry. It does not. In my district we go by our state standards only.

I am looking for a Space Unit that you have displayed on your Chalk Talk Blog. I can't seem to find it. The one on Chalk Talk cannot be copied for saved. Is it still available? I would love to use with our unit on Day and Night. Thank You!
January 27, 2013
April Larremore (TpT Seller)
I have actually split the unit into three parts day and night, the sun and stars, and the moon. I am going to post the day and night unit on TPT this week as soon as I get a couple of pictures from my classroom. It is only going to cost a couple of dollars. When are you teaching day and night?

Sarah1stGrade re: Polar Express Day
Thank you for creating this free mini-unit. However, when I tried to download it and open it most pages were blurry and were missing parts. Is there another way I can open it?
December 17, 2012
April Larremore (TpT Seller)
You might try using a different browser. That seems to make a difference. You can email me if that does not work and I will try putting it on a link in Google Docs for you.

Hi,
Each teacher in our grade is taking a country for our Christmas Around the World unit. I am in charge of Austraila. Could you please tell me a little more about the "beach in a bag" project so I know if it will work before I purchase your unit?
Thanks,
Karen

Karen,
For the beach in a bag activity each child adds a small amount or number of items to a zip-loc bag. Then you add some shaving cream and food coloring and tape the bag up. It's easy to do. It does require a few simple materials though. Does that help?

First of all, thank you for your work on this activity...and making it free:) I tried to download the words for the Then and Now Venn Diagram, but each time, I get only black rectangles and no words. Am I doing something wrong? It is such a cute activity and I wanted to use it before Thanksgiving, but am having some trouble. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much,

LJRyan re: Curious George and the Firefighters
Does the craft come with patterns? I would like to download this unit and preview it, but it is not an option.
August 6, 2012
April Larremore (TpT Seller)
The unit includes dimensions for cutting pieces and step by step directions for having the kids clip corners and round to make George. I hope this helps answer your question. Everything you need is included, but the kids do most of the cutting.

Hi April! I am a first year Kinder teacher & LOVE your blog! I recently came across your Texas unit. I tried to download it using the Scribd site, but it asked me to pay for a membership. I'm not familiar with the site, so I didn't do it. Luckily, I looked you up on TpT & found your Texas Unit. I wanted to ask it they are all the same activities I saw featured on the blog in the Texas unit. I can't wait to do some of these with my Kinders! Thanks for all of your creativeness & inspiration!!!
February 25, 2012
April Larremore (TpT Seller)
Thanks so much! Yes, what is in the unit is what you saw on my blog. The unit contains patterns, information, and instructions for what you saw. If there ends of being something you want that is not in the unit that you saw on my blog, just email me and I will send it to you.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I taught kindergarten for 14 years and absolutely loved it!! I spent three years in Wichita Falls and the other 11 in Grand Prairie. Last year, I became a kindergarten and first grade strategist, so now I go into kinder and first grade rooms all across my district everyday. This is my 16th year in education.
MY TEACHING STYLE
In my classroom and in my current position, I use lots of hands-on learning and an integrated curriculum. I connect my required curriculum with themes that interest my students.
