Hi. I have a couple errors we found the April homework packet. There wasn't a syllable page in the packet but there were @ graphing pages. Also, there was an error in the patterning page. Can you let me know if you have corrected or updated the packet? thanks.

I recently bought your Homework Packet for February and when I go to open it, a window comes up saying I need a password.
February 4, 2013
Ashley Rives (TpT Seller)
I am sorry about that. I am not sure what the problem is. The PDF is secured, therefore you cannot edit it. But, it should open without issue. I haven't heard from any other customers with this complaint and it opens fine for me. Are you using Adobe Reader?

This assessment is not editable. To protect my work & the work of the clipart artists, I do not create editable files. If you have Photoshop, you can open it & create checkmarks on top of the file...

I love your clipboard surveys - but I have a question/request. I use them whole group with my prek kids. Any chance you would be willing to make a "question" (top of the survey) and answer cards (bottom) so I can use them as a whole group graph?? I adore the images, and tried enlarging, but it didnt look right. Thought I'd ask :)

Hi Ashley,
I just bought this kit and am excited to use it. I see it says the monthly songs are all sung to the tune of 'I'm a Little Teapot' but what about the others (Days of the week, Welcome song)? I am so not musical but am looking for some fun, easy songs to sing with my preschoolers.
Thanks!

Hi Ashely, I absolutely love the calendar set I have been laminating and cutting them all week. I am so excited to use them this year. I was wondering of it was possible to hange the August header to September. We don't start school until September and I would love to start with an AB pattern in instead of an ABB pattern. I would just need he month changed and I could use the numbers and everything else from August. Let me know if this is a possibility.
Warm regards,
Abigail

Hi Abigail,
So would you like the word Sept. instead of the word August? I could do that. Yes, I think the numbers would work out fine. Send me your e-mail at meandmarie18[at]gmail[dot]com.

Trying changing the page scaling when the print options come up. All pages should be able to be printed on 8.5x11. Try the setting 'Fit to Printable Area' or 'Shrink to printable area'.
Please let me know if it works!

Hi Ashley,
I love your calendar set! Its great! I was just wondering if you are going to update the year portion of it? Honestly, its not a big deal I can just write it myself, I just like the font you are using. I was looking for 2012 and 2013 (it says 2011). Again, let me thank you because all of the hard work that you put into this activity truly made my life easier! Thank you!!

Let me say this kit is absolutely wonderful. The graphics are fantastic and I'm so excited I have purchased your kit. It will be very useful to me. There are some grammer/word usage errors on some of the song posters. I want you to have a chance to fix them before I rate you a perfect score. I know spell check could be the cause of this also.

I applied for a Pre-K (3) position for the upcoming school year and I have never taught the beginning stages of Calendar Time/Morning Meeting so I am looking for something that will help me introduce calendar time during our morning meeting. I want to find something the basics but has a unique touch. Daily weather, days of the week (today is, yesterday was, tomorrow will be), letter of the week, number of the week, color of the week, book of the day and patterns. Another thing that I think would be a fun addition to a Morning Meeting unit is to have different themes like adding holidays and special fun days, national kids days like national smile day, hug day, shark week, peanut butter and jelly day, etc (I did a google search of all the fun holidays). The familyfun website has some calendars that has different days (http://familyfun.go.com/parties/everyday-celebrations/march-calendar-1028472/) some you just have to google search to see if they are legit days. I also think a teacher version would be a great resource with ready made calendar for the whole year. I searched TPT and I could not find any Morning Meeting units that were filled with unique and fun material. I am so glad to hear that you are thinking about putting something like this together! I cannot wait to see it!
