Ed-U-Smart (TpT Seller) re: Spring Mix
I run the blog/website www.ed-u-smart.org. Each week I do Wacky Wednesday freebies. These freebies link directly to free products at TpT. In the near future I plan spring themed reading freebies. After looking at this product, I would love to include it in my Wacky Wednesday freebies. May I do so?
You can check out my site at www.ed-u-smart.org. Go to the freebies page. I would link directly to this product on your TpT's page.
Thanks for your help,
Ed-U-Smart :)

Olive Zenon (TpT Seller) re: Revising - The Writing Process Step Kids Love to Skip
Blocks rather than titles apprear in the power point. How do I fix that?
March 26, 2013
Classroom in the Middle (TpT Seller)
I'm not sure what to tell you, since the PowerPoint still seems to open fine for me, but I'm checking with TPT's support team. I'm sure they will figure it out.

candyaucoin re: Context Clues Package
I'm looking for a worksheet that has a reading passage and has a question asking what the underlined context clues means and has mutliple choice questions then a question asking what the text evidence was for the context clue. Can you verify this Context Clue Package has this information. I'm basically looking just to buy worksheets to pratice with my daughter. Thanks
February 6, 2013
Classroom in the Middle (TpT Seller)
The one worksheet set in the package - called Context Clues, Three Types - has multiple choice questions and then asks the student to underline or highlight the context clues on a few of the worksheets. I think this set sounds the most like what you are looking for.
If you don't need the PowerPoints in the package, the worksheet sets are also listed individually and you can just buy the set that you want.

carsenjl re: Analogies - Question Cards
I can't seem to get analogies 1-8...otherwise these look good. I'd like the whole set, if possible. Thanks!
October 29, 2012
Classroom in the Middle (TpT Seller)
Here are the first 8 analogies that you asked about. There is also a key for all of them after the last card in the set.
1. lemonade : drink :: hamburger : eat
2. left : right :: top : bottom
3. dog : puppy :: cow : calf
4. grass : green :: soil : brown
5. ally : war :: teammate : game
6. perimeter: rectangle :: circumference : circle
7. king : queen :: prince : princess
8. glass : break :: paper : tear

Arlene B (TpT Seller) re: Personification - Figurative Language Practice
Can you explain the meanings of the personification in the poem Summer Grass and in My Town so I can explain the correct meaning with my students?
December 30, 2011
Classroom in the Middle (TpT Seller)
In the line "The rain hears; the rain answers," rain is being personified because it is doing things that a person would do - hearing and answering.
In "My Town," the fence posts are personified because they are doing things that a person would do - gossiping and watching. Also, the cars are personified when the author says that they winked at each other.
Hope this helps-
