If I were purchase this, would you be willing to make changes just to the alphabet chart. I use a specific alphabet chart with certain pictures for each letter of the alphabet. I would love this to match. Example: B is for bear, C is for cat etc
Thank you!
It looks like 8-9 (roughly) of them of the ones I use on my alphabet chart........

Mrs.D re: Customizable Binder-izing Kit!
I contacted TPT and requested a refund because I cannot use this file as it requires much too much ink and I can't afford to do that. They told me to contact you and get your authorization for a refund. I am a loyal TPT customer and purchased this material in good faith. I will not be using it nor passing it on. Thank you very much.

I would be glad to authorize the refund. I am sorry that the product didn't work out for you, though. Have a wonderful rest of the year!

Brooke Hilderbrand (TpT Seller)
They are simple words (such as a, I, and at)that most students master during kindergarten, so I teach them before the other lists. The students should be able to read them "as fast as lightning." :)

Annie Henderson (TpT Seller) re: Tennessee Science and Social Studies Standards Cards
I have been wanting these for a long time and we just saw that the TN social studies standards are changing. I am assuming that they will probably change science standards too. If I buy this, will I get the updated ones for free?

I have your classroom jobs pocket chart set. I love the various jobs you have listed on them. I was wondering if there was a way to have the 'paper passer' job changed to 'distributor'. I like to introduce my students to more vocabulary words through a multitude of things in my classroom and this is one of the ways we do this. Can this be done? Thanks!

Brooke Hilderbrand (TpT Seller)
Thanks so much for stopping by my store! Unfortunately, I am unable to complete customizations at this time, but you are welcome to use the editable version of the file to create your own card using the graphics included. You may need to re-download the zipped file from your My Purchases tab to access the powerpoint templates. Once you open them, you can add any text you need to the colored cards with the graphics. :)

Hi,
I would like to purchase My Student Office for my class but I am looking for a Canadian version (Canadian coins, British spelling - colour, favourite, etc.) A fellow TPT seller, Christy Owens, added Canadian coins to her number anchor charts for me. Perhaps she can help you or perhaps other TPT sellers know of Canadian coin clipart for commercial use.

Thanks for your purchase--I'm sorry you're having trouble. Here are the basics for downloading and editing. First, go to My Purchases and download the file. When it opens up, you'll need to extract the files. When you open up the powerpoint file, it should have a directions page on the second page. All you'll need to do is click on the text boxes, edit your text, and then print! Good luck, and let me know if you need anything else!

Do these come in various sizes? Or just the large size? I'd like it if it came in a half sheet size as well. Please let me know. Thanks.

Brooke Hilderbrand (TpT Seller)
Sorry, just the full size. But, under the print options on most computers, you can select to print multiple pages on one sheet--if your printer gives you that option, you could easily print them as half sheets:)

Hi Mrs H
Would you be able to tell me if it is possible for you to edit this bag with Aussie spelling or to let me know the font you used so i can do some cutting and pasting to make it correct. We love your things they are great.
Thanks Lynn

Hey there Mrs. H.
I also just bought your posters and I too have the black lines in place of all the numbers. I just wish I noticed that before I printed them out :(
I checked out the link you put below but nothing there helped. Could you email me the file by any chance? THANK YOU!!

I'm sooo sorry. Have you updated your printer driver lately? I had this same problem with a download once but it was because of an outdated driver. You might try that, restart and redownload to try again.
If it still isn't right, send me an email at onceuponafirstgradeadventure@gmail.com with your TPT username and date of purchase so I can try emailing you the file. :) Thanks for your patience!

Rachel, Thank you so much for your purchase, and I'm sorry you're having issues! Sometimes technology can be so frustrating. Here is a link to the most common troubleshooting tips--I'm not sure if you've tried all of them yet. Are you, by chance, using a mac? If so, this link is very helpful.
http://ericabohrer.blogspot.com/2012/05/trouble-opening-tpt-files.html
If, for some reason, you are still having trouble, let me know and I can email you the file. Maybe something is just going funny in the downloading process. Thanks for your patience, and please let me know if you still have trouble! :)

Thanks so much for visiting my store! The unit focuses only on nonstandard units. You'll need items such as dried beans, paper clips, and/or linking cubes for measuring. :)

Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention. I am currently in search of some Canadian and Australian coin clipart for commercial use. As soon as I find some, I'll be glad to update the file so that you could use it as well. :)

Hi there. I just purchased the classroom jobs package and I'm interested in adding a few more jobs. I was just wondering if it was possible to find out what font you used (the first one, more print like) on the cards? I also was wondering if there is any way to get some more of the graphics without buying them from ThistleGirl. Thanks so much!
December 30, 2012
Brooke Hilderbrand (TpT Seller)
Thanks so much for your purchase! The font is called CK Handprint. If you google it, you should be able to find it for download pretty easily :). As far as the graphics go, I have a commercial use only license, so while I can create and sell items with the graphics, I am unable to distribute them for others' use. I'm afraid the only way for you to obtain them is to purchase them through the Thistlegirldesigns website. I would highly recommend purchasing them if you'll think you'll use them--I've had really good experiences working with her!

I have a question about the power punch strategy...what is it?? I have not experienced this stategy before. Thanks!
December 6, 2012
Brooke Hilderbrand (TpT Seller)
Powerpunching is basically counting on--but with hand motions. When solving addition, I teach the students to punch the bigger number with a closed fist (saying its name) and then count up the smaller number while showing that many fingers. The last number spoken aloud is the answer.
For example, 3 + 2...The child says "three" while punching the air with a closed fist in front of him/herself. Then, he or she counts on "four, five" and puts out a finger for each number counted. When they have two fingers up to show the second addend, they know the answer is the number they have said aloud.
For subtraction problems, they start at the smaller number and count up to the bigger number, showing fingers for each number counted. The number of fingers up when they say the bigger number they are counting to is the answer.
So, 5-3...They start at 3 with a fist, count up "four, five," and they will end up with two fingers up, which is the answer.
Sorry, if this is not a helpful explanation---it is hard to describe in writing. I'll try to post a link to a video of this if I can find one--it really is pretty simple and very useful :)

Michelle re: The Polar Express {A Day of Math and Literacy Fun!}
Hi! I love your Polar Express packet! On pages 29-32, I see a blue box and extra text on the page in the background. Do you see that on your copy? I don't want to print yet because I'm afraid it will print on it. I do have a Mac and have the updated Adobe Reader. Please let me know if you see it too or have any ideas on how I may be able to fix mine. Thank you!!!

Brooke Hilderbrand (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much for your purchase! I'm sorry you're having issues with the download. I tried downloading it from TPT, and I also got a weird jumble of words on those pages even though they do not show up anywhere on the document on my pc...yikes!
I have heard that files sometimes can get a little weird during the uploading/downloading process, so I reuploaded the file to TPT. When I downloaded it again from the site, it appeared normal, so hopefully it will for you, too! If not, let me know and I can try to email it to you instead! Thanks for your patience!

I still cannot print this packet. It prints up to page 17 and then prints a page with an error message of insufficient memory. Please help me gain access to this packet. I am very frustrated as I would lke to use it with my children.

Brooke Hilderbrand (TpT Seller)
I'm sorry you're having trouble. I also apologize for the delay. I have had limited internet access the past week, which has made responding to messages difficult.
The following link should explain how to troubleshoot your download/printing issues. If you have not already done so, I would suggest redownloading the file from your My Purchases tab and saving it to your computer again. Typically printing errors are due to oudated drivers, but perhaps there was just an issue during the downloading process. After redownloading the file, please try some of the troubleshooting steps in the link below.
http://ericabohrer.blogspot.com/2012/05/trouble-opening-tpt-files.html
If this troubleshooting tutorial does not fix the problem, please let me know and we'll see if any of the tech. helpers here at TPT have any suggestions as I have not heard of this problem before. Hopefully together we can get it straightened out for you! Thanks for your patience and have a great night!

I love the format of your Decoding strategies! Do you have or would be willing to create a setting of writing strategies for kindergarten using the beanie babies? I would love to have them correlate. Would like to use different beanie babies than those used in the decoding strategies so the students would not get confused. Let me know! :)

I haven't tried this, but I'm thinking they should fit. I tried to make the coin clipart about the same size as real life, so imagine there would be room. I'm just not sure if the paper would hold real coins or if they would be too heavy. Sorry I'm not much help--I think its just a try it and see kind of thing! :)

What are the measurements of paper bag in metric - cm?
October 24, 2012
Brooke Hilderbrand (TpT Seller)
I'm honestly not sure what the metric measurements are as I do not have a cm ruler here at home. I used a standard brown paper lunch bag, which measured 5 1/8 x 3 1/8 x 10 1/8 inches. I used a converter online, so this may not be exact, but it looks like it is about 13 x 8 x 26 cm. Hope that helps!
