I really liked this resource. I have one observation about the round letters (o,d,g,c,q...). I wonder if you can start the round part closer to the middle line, so the students do not have to pick up their pencil to finish up writing the letter. ( starting the round part at 2 o'clock position).
Thanks

I loved this packet - it was exactly what I was looking for. Very cute graphics and so happy to see it had answer keys. My only concern was that as I was scoring my children's work with the answer keys & I was marking things wrong (making the kiddos redo them!) and the kiddos were actually right. There were several mistakes in the answer keys with the tens place being off by 1 digit. I would tell you which exact numbers but the pages are not numbered. Thank you for a nice product though. I would buy from you again.

Sorry it took me so long to get back with you. I'm so happy you like my Stop, Think, Click lesson.
Due to copyright I cannot sell lessons using SMARTBoard Flash.
However I thought I had a time lesson make up already using the same flash, but I can't find it on my computer. I will keep looking this weekend.
If you send me an email I can send you the lesson when I find it on my computer.
My email is cssmartietech@gmail.com.
(I'm teaching time to my class right now and it is driving me crazy not being able to find the lesson.)

I'm going to check with other TPT sellers and see if they know the answer. I'll let you know if I find anything out.

I noticed that it didn't appear either when I did the trial version before I bought it, but I assumed that was because it was a trial and wasn't set up to run, rather just to show the format. HELP!! I need to use this with my students asap since we are working on chunking!!

Sorry you are having trouble with this lesson.
First of all are you using this lesson on a SMARTBoard or on a different Whiteboard? If it is a SMARTBoard touch right beside the vowel of the letter chunks to make the letter appear. The letter should come right up.
Have you tried it using the curser on your computer?
I am going to put in a ticket to TPT for you to see if they have any additional ideas.
Also if you do not have SMARTBoard let me know and I would be happy to send you the PowerPoint lesson that would work better for non SMARTBoard users. My email is cssmartietech@gmail.com

jdem33 re: Set The Time Hour and Half Hour SMARTBoard Koosh Ball Game
I am really not sure how to through the kosh ball for my students.
February 22, 2013
Christi Squires (TpT Seller)
First of all I let my first graders through the Koosh ball themselves. (That is half the fun.) I encourage them to not slam the ball at the SMARTBoard, the board will not respond. They need to through it so it makes firm contact with the board. It might take a few tries at first but they adjust their throughs pretty quickly.
You might want to tell the kids to through the Koosh ball so it kisses the board. That sometimes help.
If you need more help let me know.

Check back later.

The free fact family you have to put your own numbers in. This one has all the fact families already typed in for you. All you need to do is put them in the order you want your students need to work on. I have a third fact family that works in Power Point. I made it for teachers who do not have a SMARTBOARD.

hi Christi,
Is there a way this file could be edited to have several slides already showing problems, rather than students writing them in. Thanks so much!
PS On your farm yard addition and subtraction, the description says mitten, probably just from cutting and pasting from this. All teachers have too much in our brains at once and we have to help each other out!

Thanks for the heads up on my description.
As for the adding slides, left click on the snowman slide then right click on the same slide and click on Clone Page (for SMARTBoard) or Duplicate Slide (Power Point). You can clone or duplicate the slide as many times as you wish. Finally all you need to do is type in your own problem (SMARTBoard) or add a Text Box and type in your problem. You might want to lock the problem down (SMARTBoard) so it does not move on your students. Let me know if you need any additional instructions.

Not all my lessons are for SMARTBoard (Notebook). I do offer some of my lessons in Power Point. However for this lesson you have to have a SMARTBoard.
TPT is quick to respond to request. Once again I'm soory but you do not have the correct progame to run this lesson.

mdelwiche re: Sweet Treats Koosh Ball SMARTBoard Game
I have a trouble-shooting question. When we played the game there were a couple of issues....first, the same questions kept popping up. Then the screen would freeze and not return to the candy page. When it did return to the candy page, the koosh ball would not always trigger the question to pop up...I had to manually do it. Any thoughts? I just love the idea of this, but I want to make sure I get it to work correctly before I purchase more. Thanks.
December 31, 2012
Christi Squires (TpT Seller)
First let me say I'm sorry you are having trouble with the lesson.
I used this lesson with my class just before break and it worked fine. The only time the same question popped up was when the students kept hitting the same place on the board. I had to encourage them to aim for a different section. Are you using Notebook 11 and are you using a soft squishy koosh ball? Another problem could be if you have other programs running in the background. My tech person says Notebook is a big hog on memory. If you have other things running it slows Notebook down. Sometimes if a teacher starts to have problems with Notebook not working right we have to restart their computer to correct the problem. If these suggestions don’t work on your school computer let me know. I can send you the program to you through email to see if it could be a download problem.
Please let me know if you cannot get the game to work properly. I would like to make it right by you by offering you a different game.
My email is cssmartietech@gmail.com.

Sara Marchesani (TpT Seller) re: Gingerbread Fun Addition Using Ten Frames A SMARTBoard Lesson
Hi Christi - I wanted to tell you how cute this is! I don't have a smart board, so I copied your idea for my promethean board! I made a few other activities to go with the gingerbread theme and the mental math strategy of making ten. You might enjoy them to accompany your smartboard lesson! I am going to upload them to my store - Sara Marchesani. I will not upload my promethean activity, since the idea is not originally from me. However, your smart board lesson really does go great with what I will put up, and I think people would like the two resources to go hand-in-hand. Do you mind if I advertise for you? Can I put your name and this lesson title in my packet, encouraging people to come buy your smart board activity? I will do it, and you can let me know if you object :-) Thanks for sharing great ideas! ~ Sara

I have a fellow tpt question. Can u lock a smart board lesson? So that it can't be altered by a buyer? Shmennifer@aol.com thanks!!
November 18, 2012
Christi Squires (TpT Seller)
You can lock the clip art down along with any print that does not need to have animation attached to it or that does not need to be moved. However anything that needs to be made interactive cannot be locked down. I hope this makes sense.
Here are the directions to lock down clip art.
http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/How-to-Lock-Clip-Art-Down-In-a-SMARTBoard-Lesson
You can contact me at cssmartietech@gmail.com if you have any other questions.
Just remember SMARTBoard lessons are great because they are interactive. Many of us who make SMARTBoard lesson don't worry about people changing our work to suit their needs. That is why I make my Koosh Ball games an open template. Each teacher adds the class work they want their students to work on.

Hum, well first of all this is a notebook lesson. Do you have notebook? If you do make sure the file says .notebook. If it says .zip highlight zip and change it to notebook. That should do the trick. If you don't have notebook contact TPT and exchange the lesson for the Power Point version.

Then click on the beginning letter and drag it to the right. Keep doing this until you have shown all of the beginning letters. Once again do not save when you are done with the lesson.

Even though I was able to open the file in smartboard notebook, my board is an activboard with promethean planet. I bet I have to use the pen . It doesn't have touch activation. I guess I should have thought of that. I hope I can still use it even if I must use the pen.

Yes you will need to use your pen.
You could have your student use a ball that sticks to the wall. They could throw the ball then use the pen to open the page. Just a suggestion.

Hi Mary Jane,
I'm sorry you are having problems. Tell me what you mean by forward the page. Do you mean touching the blue arrows?
Will the page open if you touch the SMARTBoard with your finger?
What kind of a koosh ball are you using? You need to use a soft squishy koosh ball. They cost about $1 at Target or Meijer’s. If you are using a harder ball it will not work.
The game is working on my computer. So if none of these suggestions solve your problem. Or if you want me to send you a picture of the kind of koosh ball you need. Send me an email at cssmartietech@gmail.com and I will either send you the game again or send you a picture.
I will do everything I can to help you make the game work. :)

Hi,
Sorry for your trouble. I'm able to open the file here at home. However I can not get into the site at this time. They have it shut down to sellers so buyers can download. I'm not sure why it is saying that. It was made on Notebook 10.6 but like you I have Notebook 11. Would you mind looking at the file to make sure the end says .notebook sometimes the file can chage to .zip If that happened all you have to do is change it back to .notebook. If that does not work let me know by emailing me at cssmartietech.gmail.com and I will send it to you through email.

ivories88wi re: Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Koosh Ball Game SMARTBoard
Hi Christi,
Quick question: I purchased your Let It Snow etc. koosh ball game for my SMARTboard last January. I forgot about it until this summer when I was looking through my TPT "stuff". I downloaded it, but when I open it up all I get is a word precessed page telling me how to play the game. There are no links that I can see to actually open the game part of it. Is that because I am doing this from home on my macbook? Is there something else I need to do to see the game itself? Thanks for any help you can give me. Beth

I purchased and downloades your Dolch lists and they look fine on my laptop, but when I project them with my digicam it splits the words. Any suggestions?
September 3, 2012
Christi Squires (TpT Seller)
I’m not sure what the problem might be. It could be the font size it too large for your screen. Try highlighting the words and lowering the font size.
If by digicam you mean projector, it could be the resolution on your computer screen.
Which Dolch list did you buy? If you let me know I could change the font and repost it to see if that works for you.
Or you could contact your school tech support person for help.

The teachers in my building and I like to make all of our students name plates at the same time. Then we can save the document and have it ready to go if we need to make additional copies.

I am not positive this will work since I don't have a mimio board. Now with that said I have been doing some checking around and I have found that there is a process to convert SMARTBoard lessons to Mimio. Here are the directions I found:
You need to pull up mimio and then when you click on open file, there is the drop down box that is labeled files of type, there should be a smart notebook listing. Realize anything that is interactive will not work. Pictures and text will download fine. Sometimes backgrounds would not always transfer over but that is an easy fix. If the smart software is on your computer still, the notebook software will run and work the same, you just have to use the mimio pen.
Now there is animation with this lesson so it may not work the way it should. You might want to check with your tech person to see if you can reactivate the animation once it downloads.
Sorry I could not be much more help
I do know you can download a 30 day trial for Smart Notebook. http://smarttech.com/us/Support/Browse+Support/Download+Software+Internal/SMART+Notebook+Software/SMART+Notebook+software+-+software+only/SMART+Notebook+software+-+software+only/SMART+Notebook+software+10_7+for+Windows+-+software+only
