Reading AND Math! Love the coding! Not thrilled with font-looks like D'Nealian. Our system prefers Comic Sans and Century Bold.
May 9, 2013
Brian Hopkins (TpT Seller)
Laurie, you are correct on what the font is. I'm sorry that you aren't thrilled with the font. The school district here uses D'Nealian. They say it helps transition children to cursive writing so I have been using it more in my products, but still use Comic Sans from time to time. I am thrilled that you like it though and hope your students do too!. Thanks for the feedback, rating, and purchase.

I think my K students will really enjoy this. I can see using this in the beginning of the year to learn to spell their sight words & their names and friends' names while practicing number recognition 0-9. I plan to put the black & white sheets into page protectors so my students can use dry erase markers and use them over & over again. Thank you! :D
April 21, 2013
Brian Hopkins (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much, I'm glad you can find many different uses for it. There is a product by another seller out there that has the sight words at the top and you find the code. I don't like copying so that's why I went with phonics. You could certainly make a sheet with sight words listed and have them right the codes next to them though or for names or anything else you mentioned! I'm glad I could help making learning fun for your students. You're welcome. Thanks for the positive feedback, rating, and purchase.

dkrings re: Place Value To 1 Million - Common Core
Hi Brian~ Sorry to bother you again... Evidently at some point I was able to get your Patriotic Owl Place Value at no cost. It is not on my account of purchases. Is there another way I can upload that one page without causing you too much grief? Thanks!
March 10, 2013
Brian Hopkins (TpT Seller)
You probably one it on one of the many giveaways I've done on it or let others put it up for a giveaway. Please e-mail me at tigermagic@bellsouth.net and I will e-mail it to you. Since it's all together easiest that I just e-mail you the full file and you can print the one page.
March 10, 2013
dkrings re: Place Value To 1 Million - Common Core
Hi Brian~ You may already know this, but thought I should mentioned it just to be sure. My para was cutting and laminating one of your activities for me this week and she found an error. It was in the Place Value Go Fish portion of your Patriotic Owl Place Value. It is in the set of four owls for 67,436 - 60,000 + 1,000 + 400 + 30 + 6 = The thousands should be 7 not 1. Have a great weekend! Thanks! Donna
March 9, 2013
Brian Hopkins (TpT Seller)
Hi Donna, even though it was my most popular product (now 2nd most) nobody has pointed that out to me and my proofreaders missed it too. I appreciate you bringing that to my attention. Give me about 10 minutes to have it fixed and reuploaded! Thanks again for letting me know!

I am Bullyproof Music (TpT Seller)
I wish TPT had PM. I hate writing all over your page! Please erase all this after you read it. Just wanted to add I realize you're not a music person, I didn't explain well. Sorry, my bad. There are zillions of teacher conventions from what I hear. Some are large enough to include music/life skills/off the beaten path with everything else. Some are small and focused on one area. I just meant we would have to fit whatever you're interested in. haha sometimes songs are easier than simple English. Okay, chow for now. Didn't mean to make a big deal outa this. Just a thought I had because I assumed you'd be repping the band at conventions. Never assume. Note to self.
February 12, 2013
Brian Hopkins (TpT Seller)
I do too that would be nice. Feel free to e-mail me if you want tigermagic@bellsouth.net You're right there are a ton of teacher conventions. It is definitely a thought, depending on how expensive it is to get a booth. What I'm doing for The Learning Station is promotions on the internet for now, it may expand at some point who knows! I appreciate you giving me the idea!

Turning Frowns Into Smiles Style Teaching (TpT Seller)
Not a problem Brian, that's what honest and intergrity is for. I tried to have and demonstrate both. When I look at the download, I wondered what the difference was from actual product. I soon realize that there wasn't anything different. I thought to myself this is not what he intending to do so I alerted you. I just wish others would have told you a long time ago so you could have earned your sales.
January 14, 2013
Brian Hopkins (TpT Seller)
Amen you are right on that and we should all be that way! I'd do the same as you for someone else in a heartbeat! Yeah it said 177 previews so I'm sure I lost a lot of sales. :( At least it's fixed now thanks so much again!

Turning Frowns Into Smiles Style Teaching (TpT Seller)
Just wanted to let you know that you whole activity is available through your preview download. It doesn't have any watermarks or anything on it. I know you didn't make this a freebie because you have a price for it for 5.25.
January 12, 2013
Brian Hopkins (TpT Seller)
Oh no. I found the one it was. I had the right file in Publisher and didn't convert it. Surprisingly that is my most popular product with over 50 sold. I'm sure I lost even more sales. grrr :( I thank you so very much for alerting me of my mistake! You are so nice! I have it fixed now! Brian

Amy Barker (TpT Seller) re: I Have Who Has Counting Coins
I really like the I have Who has Counting coins game however when we played it, there were 2 cards with 18 cents and it was a little confusing. Let me know if you fix it and put the fixed version up for download. Thanks
December 21, 2012
Brian Hopkins (TpT Seller)
Amy, thanks so much for bringing that to my attention! I'm surprised nobody else told me with over 1,700 downloads, which frustrates me. I don't have a class of my own so I can't try them first and my proofreaders didn't catch it. :( Anyway, I did change the last 18 cents to 38 cents so the game should work perfectly now. If you find any other errors please don't hesitate to let me know on here or at tigermagic@bellsouth.net. It is greatly appreciated! I hope the kids enjoyed the game anyway and will enjoy it more now! :-) Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much Beth! It felt great to have that kind of success. Not great sales wise today, but maybe it will pick up this evening. I saw how awesome you are doing, congrats to you too! I hope to do that well someday!

2.RL.4 starts with the word describe so it should have a period on the end rather than a question mark.

You are correct on that. I apologize that I and my proofreaders missed it. Give me a few minutes to correct it and I will upload the new version on TPT and you can redownload. I appreciate you letting me know and thanks for the purchase!

aogle1 re: Patriotic Owl Themed Rounding Decimal Blast
I was wondering what are the directions of play? Is it matching? Do they provide the answer and check it? Thanks!

Brian Hopkins (TpT Seller)
Hi! The directions are included in the packet. This version is rounding. They look at the number that is underlined and they round it to the nearest place value. You mix up the cards and the kids take turns flipping them over. They round it to the nearest place value. If correct, they pick up a star, which are mixed up on the floor like go fish. The stars have numbers from 0 to 5. If they get anything, but a zero they can keep the points or pick again. They can pick as many times as they want as long as they don't get a 0. If they get a 0 they lose all the points. So they have to decide when to take the total of points they have and stop! Click download preview and I have the directions there and also in the product!
I do have versions for adding, multiplying,sight words, etc. in my store if one of those works better for you! Thanks for the question!

You downloaded my Common Core Lesson Plan Templates. I'd love any suggestions when you have time to make them better! THANK YOU!!!!

Brian Hopkins (TpT Seller)
Yes, I sure did! I don't have a class yet unfortunately, I'm subbing and interviewing trying to find a job. I am eager to use these when I find a job. Are you going to make them for Math too? The only thing I was thinking of and I don't know how to do it to still fit each day on one page is a notes section. That way you could reflect on what went well or what you may want to change.

Hi Brian, I am a self-professed grammar Nazi. Just wanted to double-check with you as to whether the commas should be used on these. They are sooo cute! Love you ideas! Roxanne
August 13, 2012
Brian Hopkins (TpT Seller)
That's a really good question! Now I think about it probably not. I'm not great with grammar, which is why I have people proofread most everything I make! I'll get rid of it and upload it tomorrow. I think I heard that we can't upload things through the sale. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! If I forget please e-mail me at tigermagic@bellsouth and remind me to get rid of the commas!

Hello,
I am writing you in regards to the Teacher Appreciation Jack Pot. I made a huge error. I was so excited on Sunday I spent hours and hours on a very slow computer going to every site that participated. I might have looked around a bit and became a follower. I was so inspired by all of you bloggers. Anyways, I went to every single site and added the TPA Freebie to my wishlist because the computer I was on has a virus and was not cooperating. SSSLLLOOOWWW!!!! So I thought if I just add it to my wish list on Monday morning I will download them on my school computer where I do all or most of my school work anyway. I was so excited I woke up super early so I could get to school and download them. Come to find out you had to pay for them. I wanted to cry. I emailed tpt and when they finally got back to me they said unfortunately there was nothing they could do. I was suppose to download them. I don’t recall ever reading that anywhere but I am very new to all of this. They said I had to email each one of you individually. Yes, then and there I just about started to cry. I had 120 items I added to my wishlist. I was on the computer all day Sunday doing this.
I am just wondering if you would be so kind to email or what ever you have to do so that I can download your freebie. I thought I would try! Thank you for your creative inspiring blog!!

Um no sorry I had it still free on Monday morning and one of my friends even had their's available on Wednesday and said she got the same message from you so you didn't download hers on Monday when you could have at work. If you want the product download it, I have it currently on sale.

lraines10 re: Under The Sea Dolphin "Between" Numbers to 100
I do have a nice suggestion to make on the Under the Sea Dolphin. Maybe down the road you could make it go to 120 to cover the first grade common core. If not that's ok because I really like it anyways!! I also like your blog.
Thanks!

In FL we haven't started Common Core until next year so I had no idea! I will try to get to that! Is Before and After, Odd and Even, etc. all to 120 with Common Core? Please let me know as this would be super helpful!!!

Yes, I did the Versatile Blog Award as well, but I didn't do 15. You're right; that just requires too much time.

Yeah time us teachers just don't have unfortunately! If they'd just reduce the paperwork. Ok, I know I'm dreaming! lol

Brian - Have you checked your blog recently? Because I feel your blog is a high quality one, I nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award. Go to my website for the specific details.

Thanks Scipi. I've received that award a couple of times. I have them award on the right side of my page, but it's a bit down there. Thank you so much though!!! I also received from 2 people the VErsatile Blogger award, but it wanted like 15 new blogs and I don't have the time to hunt down 15 people so I did all parts to that award but that part to it. 15 is just so much. 5 was hard enough. Thanks for thinking of me though.

Scipi (TpT Seller) re: January Fun Behavior Note
I saw your posting on the Sellers Forum page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. I left you a rating.
I have a few suggestions that might help you to better market your products. First, create a cover page which can then be used as an attractive thumbnail to entice buyers. Add a second page which is a directions or suggestions page. List several ways you use this product in your classroom. Never assume that a buyer knows how, why, or when to use your product. Use the footer to put the copyright symbol, your name and date of creation on EVERY page. Items, especially free ones, have been "stolen" from TPT and posted on other sites to be sold. You have to protect all of your creations. Save your advertising and blog info for the last page. Buyers really don't want to see it on the very first page they download.
If you have time, I’d appreciate your input on my freebie listed below.

Thank you so much for the rating and also the suggestions. I certainly need ideas to do better! My February freebie I did put my website under the footer for each one and kind of have a cover page, but it's more of what you said should be my last page. I'll keep trying to do better for next one. I never thought of putting the date either, good idea!
I just checked, I'm already following you on TPT! I thought I was as I've left you ratings in the past. I'm behind on catching up my followers.
I just left you a rating for that awesome glyph.
Thank you for your kind words and again for your feedback. I've asked many others and rarely get constructive ideas so I completely appreciate it!
