The certificates were cute, and I could use most of them. However, only half of them printed out both times I tried to print them. I was disappointed because I wanted to use some of the certificates that did not print. The word "knowledge" was misspelled.

Ashley Koss (TpT Seller)
I'm so sorry they didn't print for you! I am in process of fixing the spelling error. Thank you for letting me know!!

Thank you, you helped make my life easier at the end of this school year. Our curriculum director asked us to do a common core thematic unit. I chose Esperanza Rising along with Immigration/Heritage. The only thing I would have preferred was to have more questions from the higher level of Bloom's or Webb's cognitive level comparitive matrix.

I used a similar packet, but ran out of pages. I thought I would try this packet and I fell in love with it. It does such a good job at covering the language standards and helps me confidently know I have taught these strands. Thank you for all of your hard work!
March 21, 2013
Ashley Koss (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you are having success with it. I will be adding more pages, so by the beginning of the next school year I will have enough to cover the entire year (hopefully). Are you using it weekly or daily? That will give me an idea of how many pages I need to add. Thank you!!!

No, but I can customize them if you would like, just email me the info and when you need it by. I can put student names in or change the type of awards, whatever you would like! My info is in the file after it is purchased.

Tracy Mendez (TpT Seller) re: Esperanza Rising Student Comprehension Book
Do you have this aligned with common core? Is it marked in the lessons as to which each standard is covered?
April 14, 2013
Ashley Koss (TpT Seller)
Hi! I'm sorry I didn't get this answered sooner- I did it on my phone and it must not have worked. This is not aligned with CCSS, YET, but I am working on it. Please check back in a couple of weeks and I should have it updated. I will be making a page that shows which pages have the specific standard covered with a checklist. Thanks!

FYI The study guide has been published on the web at hobart.schoolwires.com. According to a parent of one of my children, the answer key is out there somewhere too.

matthewsw re: Stem and Leaf Practice Worksheet
This activity seems to very helpful. My question is: Should you have the numbers in the 'leaf' in order - ascending or decending? Also, when I made an attempt to print all I am getting is black lines and dots. There is nothing wrong with my computer because I have printed several times from this and other sites.
Thanks for a feedback.
Walterine
Thanks for a feedback.
Walterine
February 18, 2013
Ashley Koss (TpT Seller)
Yes, all numbers should be in decending order in the leaf side(Going down 1-10). Maybe try re-downloading the file and see if it works? I re-uploaded the file, so it should work. If it still doesn't work, send me your email and I will email the file to you. Thanks!

Hi!
Did your Esperanza Rising unit come with an answer key? That would have been helpful for some of your items, especially the chapter of the Guayabas where students were to sequence items.

I have been working on typing it up in my spare time (haha) for awhile, I have it in my file, handwritten. My goal is to have it up during Christmas break. I will send it to all the teachers who have already purchased the packet when I am finished typing it up.

How many problems / sheets are included?
October 15, 2012
Ashley Koss (TpT Seller)
Right now I have 10 pages, and they are all just like the page in the example, but with different numbers/problems. I am working on more in my spare time (haha), but we have been in the process of moving to another state/selling a home/buying a home/living with in-laws so I have not really had much time to work on these. I am also putting together a fractions one, which is mostly finished, I just want more pages. If there is something specific you would like, please let me know and I can create it or customize something for you.

How do you keep the offices from getting torn up? I teach 6th graders, and they travel to 6 other teachers throughout the day. I'd like them to be able to keep their offices with them for reference while at home, but I am not sure how to keep them from getting torn up.

I would laminate them once the kids got all the stuff put on them. My students really liked cutting out their own, so I didn't have to do a lot of the work. :)

Thanks for your consideration at this very busy time of year.

Hi, I see you teach in Columbia, MO and use Whole Brain Teaching. I am actually in the St. Louis area and will be implementing Whole Brain Teaching this year. I used it last year - mid-year and it was a little rough to transition the students. I was wondering if you had any tips or tricks that you found work for you? I have watched several youtube videos and excited to start it. Any help would be great.
Thanks

I would first of all go to the whole brain website and sign up! On the website is the first steps and I would go there. On the first day of school I am just about the craziest, zaniest thing you have seen- making them do class-yes and teach-okay all day long but in the craziest ways possible. I also set up the scoreboard first thing and they lose on the first day, but just by one point (oh, so close!) Their homework is to write why it is important to follow the 5 class rules to be a learner in our room. I would say the biggest thing is to do the rules EVERYDAY a couple of times. They will get sick of it, so then change it up in different voices, have a student leader, have everyone say them backwards- inconsistant consistancy. Do the same thing, but in crazy ways. Starting it half way would be hard. You need the majority of the kids to buy-in. Check out the website- wholebrainteaching.com. It has great things!

Hey! I bought your packet, but I am having trouble figuring out what all the different fruits and vegetables symbolize. I see how the author used the food in the story, but I am struggling to figure out all the answers to the chart on page 55. Do you have an answer key...or could you at least help me out with this page? Thanks! Angela Kendrick

Hi Angela- I will type up an answer chart for the fruit and send it to you via email. I lost my answer key in a moving to a new computer file transfer and have been trying to put one together in my spare time (haha). Will try to get it done this week or over Thanksgiving break.

Hi Ashley,
I teach 4th grade and LOVE the mini office!! It is a fabulous item and I've converted it to a writing folder which I'll be happy to share with you. Looking over the the multiplication (expanded) today, I noticed a math error. The correct answer is 30,015. The first addition problem is 26,100 - not 25,900. Is it possible for you to correct that page and repost? Thanks! Jen

Hello Ashley,
I love your mini-office math lapbook. Thank you for sharing it. I have a question about the pdf though - did something go awry on the 3rd page with the blue box multiplying whole numbers in the black smear area? The same smear is on the 5th page with the standard/expanded/word form. And on the 5th page, should there be something under each heading or do you have your students fill that in?
Thank you for your time.

I use these as mini-offices- and cut out all of the resources and put them on folders. I have never thought of making a booklet! I teach 5th grade, so don't really do any addition/subtraction rules, but I am in the process of making a division mini-office which I will post this summer. I have a whole list of things I am making this summer! Check back in September.

dmenssen re: Math Mini Office for Upper Elementary/Resource for Interactive Math Notebooks
OK, so these are meant to stand up right? Like dividers??
May 3, 2010
Ashley Koss (TpT Seller)
I glue them onto file-folders and then they can stand upright or students can just use them on the table top/lap. It is nice to laminate them after they are all put together-they stand up better after that. I ALWAYS have students cut-out and glue items on the folders so they have a sense of ownership, then laminate them. Then students can put them up as dividers when working- I just love them. I am almost done with the communication arts ones also! It's on my summer project list.
