I am glad you found them! I swear by them. I use them every year, but last year changed at January because of a new spelling program. I totally lost momentum and learned a hard lesson. Good luck with spelling. If I can help you let me know.

After 22 years of teaching grades 3 and 2, I'm moving to 1st grade! I'm very excited but realize that my students will need movement breaks. These scoot games will be perfect! Thanks!

I am glad you found something you can use! Make sure that the first time you play it that it is very slow paced and structured, otherwise it will be chaos! I have a blogpost on my blog about it if you need it. Chartsnchitchat.com
Thanks do much! Jenn

I bought a pack of story cubes actions, after seeing the first pack at the school I work in. I am always looking for new ways to use them, as the pupils really enjoy them in our 1:1 literacy sessions, and cannot wait to use these sheets. Thank you for this great resource.

I re-uploaded the file. TpT has throwbacks to old files from time to time when the server gets overwhelmed. Thanks for letting me know so that I could fix it again!!

This will be a great game to play to review what we have learned about nouns and verbs. I think it would be fun to have them make up some clues for another game using words from the fairy tales that they have read.

rjmallien re: Science Through Literature: Cactus Hotel Science Mini-Unit
Hi. Before I leave a comment I think it should be mentioned that this to be used with the book Cactus Hotel by Guiberson. I will admit, I read the information quickly and I did purchase your unit but I did not clearly understand that it was an outside book that was needed to complete this unit. I thought it was a 'book' you had written and it was included. I am new to elementary school (transferring from middle school) and I do not know all the books yet.
May 11, 2013
Best Practices 4 Teaching (TpT Seller)
I changed the title of the activity. See if that helps.

asfb26 re: Plain Ole Plane Geometry Task Cards Set 1
Thank you for adjusting card 21. The answer sheet also needs to be adjusted for 21.
Again, I thank you for the great products you put out there for us all!

Thank you for your very prompt responses to my questions! I love your products and purchased several today. Based on what I've just purchased I'm sure I will be buying more in the future. Sorry to hear about your computer crash ... so frustrating! I don't need any replacements, these are what I wanted but thank you for offering. Thank you for sharing your great ideas with all of us!

asfb26 re: Sight Word Phrases With Matching Pictures--Camping Themed
Will you also please check the last phrase on page 13? When I open it there is an x over the center that is distorting the words. Is that something you can fix? Again, thank you!
April 28, 2013
Best Practices 4 Teaching (TpT Seller)
The x that you are referring to is part of the background of the card. I just did a trial print of that card myself using my new HP and the words aren't distorted on my end. Make sure you are using at least the 'normal' setting on your printer. If you use 'draft' to print it may cause the distortion. I'm not sure since I can't see your printer. =)
April 28, 2013
asfb26 re: Sight Word Phrases With Matching Pictures--Camping Themed
I really like this set and it is perfect for my camping themed classroom. Is it possible for you to change the background on the phrase cards to one theme or no background at all? I find some of them very difficult to read with all that is going on in the background. Thank you for this product!
April 28, 2013
Best Practices 4 Teaching (TpT Seller)
I cannot find the original file for this product. It must not have made it to my external drive before my computer crashed. If you are not satisfied with the product I can offer you something of the same value right now. I won't be able to redo the product to meet your specifications until after school is out. I am benchmark testing my kids from now until the end of the year in all subjects, so I just wouldn't have time until then. I can tell you that I used these cards myself this fall and the backgrounds didn't cause any problems with my small group. Feel free to email at jennh13@aol.com because I will have to email you any additional product that you may want.
April 28, 2013
asfb26 re: Plain Ole Plane Geometry Task Cards Set 1
Can you please edit card number 21 unless of course I am misreading what it says? A quadrilateral has four sides and neither of these images has four sides.
April 28, 2013
Best Practices 4 Teaching (TpT Seller)
That shape is a complex quadrilateral (the intersection doesn't count), but I can see how that could be confusing. I will change it and reupload it. Hopefully TpT will not throw a monkey wrench into things.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have been teaching for 18 years, 13 of which were in the inner city. Along the way I earned my master's and a specialist's degree. I have conducted several balanced workshops in the Southeast Tennessee area.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I am not an 'in the box' teacher. I enjoy trying new things, but at the same time know that I must document everything I do for the administration. Most of the files I create begin with this in mind.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
I became a mom to the two most wonderful children on this earth! THAT is a REAL honor.
