FEEDBACK
The "Classy" Teacher (TpT Seller)
I am very excited about my recent purchase. However, it appears to be a preview version and when I print out the docs, it does not have the words printed. I will rate once this is resolved.

Catherine Hoffart (TpT Seller)
I apologize for this inconvenience. For some reason, there is a disconnect in the upload/download process with this document and an issue between mac vs PC. Please email me at choffart@esu1.org and I will attach documents to an email. Thank you for your understanding and letting me rectify this problem.

No problem! Can you email me at choffart@esu1.org? I will send it to you as an attachment and that should remedy the problem. Either you have a mac (I'm PC) or there is a glitch in the downloading process as this has happened before. Thank you for your understanding.

Catherine Hoffart (TpT Seller)
Please email me and I will send the files to you via email - choffart@esu1.org. For some reason, there is a loss in translation when files are uploaded to TpT. Are you a mac user? That has been the most common denominator but not always. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for allowing me to rectify the situation.

I just purchased the speed race fluency practice. There are no gameboards with the product. It is the whole reason Purchased it. Can you please send them or refund my purchase.

Catherine Hoffart (TpT Seller)
I apologize that this document isn't working for you. Please email me @ choffart@esu1.org and I will remedy this issue immediately. I'm going to assume, although I may be misinformed, that you are a mac user. The incompatibility between mac and pc is unfortunately out of my control. In the past, I have attached the documents via email and had 100% satisfaction.

Go to agrowingclass.blogspot.com and take a look under my Smart board files - there's a whole article about it and pics to go with it. You should be able to see it there. I'm not familiar with ActivInspire - sorry!

I'm assuming you have a Mac, am I right? This has been a common problem. TpT suggests making sure you have the latest Adobe updates. If this doesn't work, let me know and we'll arrange something via email. So sorry that you're having an issue.

Do you think maybe your popups are blocked? When you click on it is there another bar added toward the top of your screen asking you to unblock pop-ups? I've never given feedback so I'm not sure.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have been teaching first grade for 15 years and this is the first time I've considered creating documents for other teachers to use! I have spent many hours creating new games/activities for purchase but my best-seller is "I Can Speed Read" - something I put together one evening at the last minute. TpT has truly been a blessing to my family! It provides the "little extra" that we haven't previously had access to!
MY TEACHING STYLE
I am always trying new things! I LOVE pinterest and it is where I got the idea to begin creating useful documents for colleagues. I recently began using Daily 5 full force in my classroom as well as Guided Reading and Guided Math! I love what my classroom has become!
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
I am "honored" to teach our future and "awarded" daily with their smiles, 'a-ha' moments, and funny stories!
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I have a BA from Hastings College and an MA from Wayne State College. I am 3 hours from an ESL endorsement from Wayne State College (gotta get that done SOON!)
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I am the mother of 2 beautiful girls, Gabriella and Cecelia - the most important job yet! My husband, Chad, is my #1 follower! I couldn't do any of this without him!
