My first graders did this glyph with their 5th grade buddies and loved it! We also used the ocean animals in an art project later as you had suggested. The pictures turned out adorable! We also wondered about the South Ocean.
May 18, 2013
Chrissy Youel (TpT Seller)
The Southern Ocean was "discovered" in 2001 (or 2000) as scientists realized that the ocean around Antarctica was itself separate from the Atlantic/Pacific/Indian Ocean...it actually forms a current that is circular and as I explained to my students, is like a "fence" around the continent! It was also designated a separate ocean due to the ocean life, year round temperatures and climate. :) Hope that helps!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Ot4amy re: History Review Cards for Second Grade
Okay, I may have just sent you a message that was not complete! On the history review, for "People have the ____ customs and traditions in our state." is the correct answer a) same? We thought that was what the question was asking but also can see how the correct answer could be different. Thanks for such a great study resource. Amy
May 6, 2013
Chrissy Youel (TpT Seller)
I just looked it over and the answer SHOULD be different, but it's written with "the" which makes more sense (grammatically) to be same...sorry about that! If you want to just scratch out "the" for now (not sure how that got by me - must have been thinking true/false) I will change the original and re-upload (so you can redownload it again at no expense) as soon as I can!
Sorry again and thanks for catching the mistake. Not sure how I missed that when we used them last year!

Did you mean the cube? It's been fixed and I made sure to upload the corrected version for the Geometry unit (the only thing that's changed is the "Activities for the Unit" part).
If you'd like, instead of re-downloading the whole unit, send me your email address and I can either send it to you in Publisher or as a PDF!

February 17, 2013
Chrissy Youel (TpT Seller)
I had listed them separate (the 5 books) but you gave me the great idea to bundle them together! They are normally $2 apiece per book, but I put all 5 in a bundle for $8....if you'd like to look at them separately, they are in my store under: Henry and Mudge and the Yellow Moon, Henry and Mudge and the Best Day of All, Poppleton (Book 1), Mr. Putter and Tabby Walk the Dog, and The Relatives Came.
For the bundled pack, since I had trouble uploading images from the zipped file, I included "Henry and Mudge and the Forever Sea" packet as a preview/freebie. :)
The bundled link is: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Hanging-out-with-Cynthia-Rylant-An-Author-Study
Thanks so much for asking! :)

Hi Chrissy, I just purchased 7 8 and 9 for Investigations 2nd grade. I am having a problem getting it to print. It downloads but will not print. Other products I have purchased tonight are printing without problem. Any idea what might be going on? I've downloaded latest version of Adobe and that did not correct. Thanks
February 11, 2013
Chrissy Youel (TpT Seller)
Not quite sure why that's happening...have you tried redownloading it? I tried to download the version tonight, but our internet (at home) is limited, and it was taking way too long to download. I will check it again tomorrow at school (where we have faster Internet).
If you try to redownload, and it still doesn't work - I can email you the packet. Granted, it's the same version, but it seemed to print okay with me when I tried. Sorry this happened - I know it's very frustrating!

30 cards total are in the pack, but there are two recording sheets: 1-20 and 1-30. I have 21 students this year, so if everyone is there the day I play it, I usually have a "take a break" seat...just sit and relax until we SCOOT. The kids seem to enjoy that :)

I just tried it and it downloaded fine. This may be a question for TpT...but I can certainly email you the file! I'll go ahead and do that (the PDF) but you might want to also alert TpT so they'll know. I've had that message before on free downloads, but once I reloaded the page, it worked okay. I'm not sure if that was the case with you.
I'll email it from my school account, so if you see something from "lcps" that'll be me! :)

I have to admit, when I learned about the game, I went a little crazy making it! Thought my kids would be tired of it and made a new review game...and they complained it wasn't SCOOT! :)

MrsGeorges3rdGrade re: Citizenship SCOOT
Hello! I just purchased your Citizenship SCOOT but I am at a loss. I assumed there were directions for the game in the packet and there are none. Is there a way you can send them to me? I see you have other "SCOOT" games and some say they come with instructions. I didn't realize before I purchased this one that they would not be included. Thank you for the help and the great game idea!
September 27, 2012
Chrissy Youel (TpT Seller)
Sorry! SCOOT is an active game kids can play that make a great review.
Before you play the actual game with cards, its best if they practice. Set a pattern for your students so they know which is the "next" desk to scoot to. I usually tell my more responsible students where to go and the rest follow whoever is in "front" of them.
Basically, the students go from seat to seat (they usually scoot to the seat next to them) and have a set amount of time to read and answer the card at that seat. They then write their answer on the answer sheet. When you call "SCOOT!" the students move to the next desk. They cannot move until you say the word (I usually have them turn the card over when they finish with the question).
I usually try to set up the same pattern for each game/subject we play. I read somewhere that its best to practice the kids scooting first (with no cards), and they were right! I had to practice for the first game we did last spring, and never had to do a practice session again. The kids really like it and it gets your wiggly ones time to, well, wiggle!
I hope that answers your question. My brain isn't always on target after school. I'm also including a link to one of the blogs that talks about Scoot. Good luck and I hope your kids enjoy! Thanks for purchasing! :)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I am in my 15th year of teaching elementary school in a rural county. Before then, I taught an exploratory class, as well as an at-risk writing class for middle school.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I like for my students to be engaged learners, so we use a lot of manipulatives and simulations, when possible! I often teach students with learning difficulties, as well as attentional issues, so often my products are geared towards those students! I am also a mother to a child with ADHD/anxiety, so I feel that adds more understanding on where my students are coming from!
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
Teacher of the Year Nominee
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Education/Psychology and a Master's Degree (MS). I am licensed to teach NK-8 in General Education and K-12 in Library Media Science.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I am a mother of two - a boy and a girl. Through them, as well as my students, I feel that I become a better teacher, especially when I can put myself in their shoes! I also have a teacher's blog filled with ideas, links, and freebies: please come visit me! www.adventuresn2grade.blogspot.com
