I couldn't tell if the worksheets were supposed to be half sheets or what. It was a little hard to understand and out of all the pages, there were only two that I really liked and will use.

I am so sorry it wasn't more helpful for you! If you wouldn't mind letting me know which worksheets you liked I will add more of that type and update the product.

Why are parts covered with black marks or rectangles???

Cate O'Donnell (TpT Seller)
Oh no! They shouldn't be! I will download it now and see if I can figure out the problem.
Okay, I just downloaded it and I don't see any black marks or rectangles. Can I e-mail you a copy and see if it was just a weird downloading thing? Send me an e-mail at cateodonnell28 @ gmail.com and I will send it over.

janray re: Greek and Latin Roots Weeks 6 through 10
Hi! The image bytes are too large to view the download preview. Is there another way to view it. Sounds like a great program. I teach 8th graders. Would this work for them?
January 27, 2013
Cate O'Donnell (TpT Seller)
They work great for 8th graders :). I have used them with 6th - 8th grade myself.
I am sorry the preview isn't viewable - I can send you a sample week (that is the preview) if you post something on facebook (Cate O'Donnell Teachers pay Teachers) I can send you a message with it attached or you can e-mail me at cateodonnell28 @ gmail.com.
Thanks!

Hi there! Didn't want to mess up your pinning party thread with a question. Hope it's okay, leaving my question here where I know you can simply erase it later.
I would LOVE to join your pinning party but am am unclear as to where we pin everyone's products. I'm assuming the answer is on to any pinterest board that fits the category So much new to learn but excited to be here.
I feel silly asking but don't want to mess up something for someone else! Thanks.

You are so sweet! I was just assuming you would post it wherever you felt it fit best. I kind of just made it up so there aren't really rules :) Just a way to get lots of people to see our stuff :)

Gosh, I'm sorry for this, but I'm relatively new to TpT. Can you be more specific about how to e-mail you? Thanks-
December 2, 2012
Cate O'Donnell (TpT Seller)
Oh, sure! You can't do it through TpT - kind of annoying - but just using your regular e-mail account, e-mail me at cateodonnell28@gmail.com.

mkmefford re: Greek and Latin Roots Word Wall - Weeks 1 though 5 - 5 weeks - 25 Roots
Hello- I recently bought your Greek and Latin Cycle One unit. I have printed the word wall cards out, but the green "dynam" looks to have a completely green circle, but once I print it, it has a white box right over the words. Also, there are two "tempo" and "voc" pages, so that only leaves me with 23. Thanks so much, Shelly
December 1, 2012
Cate O'Donnell (TpT Seller)
Sorry Shelly! I will fix this right now!
Okay, it is fixed! However, something is weird about the site right now. If you e-mail me (my e-mail address is in the product) I will e-mail it to you along with my second set of Greek and Latin Roots for the inconvenience.
Thanks!

chrissicawthon re: Greek and Latin Roots - Weeks 1 through 5
I've noticed that the weekly list at the beginning doesn't always match up with the weekly quizzes. Like, phil was supposed to be week one, but it shows up on week two quiz, whereas leg shows up on week 1 and it should be on week 2. Can you fix this?
November 9, 2012
Cate O'Donnell (TpT Seller)
Oh no! Yes, I will fix that! I made some major changes and I must have gotten confused in moving everything around. Thank you so much for telling me!

How do I open a zip file?
October 28, 2012
Cate O'Donnell (TpT Seller)
Go to "My Documents" and highlight the file. You can double click on it and see the contents and copy them where you want them or you can right click on it and either "unzip" or "exctract all" and they will be saved in an unzipped folder.
Let me know if you have any problems! Good luck!

I wonder If the answer key is included. Thanks.

Absolutely. The only time I don't include a key is when there are so many possible answers that it would be impossible to do so. :)
