On lesson 1b Tales from around the World under superb sentence spin, on the superb sentence strip, why did you put the adjective after the noun? Also, although the card colors match the category card, you have reversed the colors of adverb where and adverb when. Unfortunately, I didn't fnd these errors until I had laminated and cut out the game parts. Would you please make corrections and send the corrected superb sentence strip page to me. My email address is glynisjohnston@gmail.com
It might also be helpful to add something to the game instructions that allows for drawing a new card from a category if the sentence doesn't quite make sense.
Thank you so much.

Hi Glynis,
I'm so sorry for that error in my unit. I'll make the correction and send you the corrections right away. The revised unit will also be updated here for other teachers who have purchased this product.
There isn't a specific reason for the placement of the parts of speech on the Superb Sentence card holder. The words can be arranged in many different ways to form sentences so their order on the card holder doesn't really matter. If you'd like the card holder in a different order I'd be happy to send a different version to you.
Thanks,
Debbie Crockett

Crockett's Classroom (TpT Seller)
Hi Melissa,
Thank you so much for your interest in this product.
The Sarah Plain and Tall Literature Packet has only the reading activities. (9 page journal, 3 pages of Comprehension Checks and a final project where students write a journal from the viewpoint of Anna or Caleb.) Each journal page goes with one chapter from the book and has 3 vocabulary words to write definitions from a dictionary and a choice of 2 response prompts specific for that chapter.
These are the exact same Literary Text activities in my CC Maps Unit 2A. So if you have my Unit 2A you should not purchase the Literature Packet. I'm selling the separate literature packet because I thought there might be teachers who use this book in their classroom but who don't want all the language, writing, poetry and art activitis in the complete unit.
So... the literature packet has only the reading activities and Unit 2A has activities for the literary text (Sarah Plain and Tall), Informational text, poetry, language, writing and art.
I hope this information helps,
Debbie Crockett

Hi Kris,
Thanks for your interest in this unit. I try to write questions that encourage the students to think, connect and share ideas.
There are four discussion cards for each book. Here is a sample of the questions on the group discussion cards:
When Marian Sang, cards 1 and 2
1. What questions do you have as you look at the front cover?
2. Have you read other books by Pam Munoz Ryan?
3. What do you dream about doing when you grow up?
4. How do you feel when you’re singing?
1. What was unique about Marian’s voice?
2. Why do you think Marian often sang with her eyes closed?
3. How does the picture of Marian at the music school make you feel?
4. Why do you think Marian didn’t give up after being turned down by the music school?
Emma's Rug, cards 1 and 2
1. What questions do you have as you look at the front cover?
2. Have you read other books by Allen Say?
3. What is imagination?
4. Where do artists get their ideas?
1. What questions came to mind as you read these pages?
2. What does Emma do with her rug?
3. What words would you use to describe the kindergarten teacher?
4. What could Emma mean when she said she copied her ideas? Why did no one believe her?
The Sign Painter, cards 1 and 2
. What questions come to mind as you look at this cover?
2. Have you read other books by Alan Say?
3. Do you ever dream about your life as a grown up?
4. Do you think it’s good to have those dreams?
1. Why did the boy walk into the sign shop that morning?
2. Do you think it takes creativity to be a sign painter?
3. How can you tell the young boy has experience as a painter?
4. What did the person in the white car ask the sign painter to do?
I hope this helps.

I'm really glad your kids are liking the math project. I'm sorry but I can't send products that contain graphics out in an editable format. My license with scrappindoodles.com for the graphics won't allow that. If there are just a few of the pages you'd like I could take out the graphics and then send those pages to you.

May 3, 2013
Crockett's Classroom (TpT Seller)
Hi Teaching Queen. I'm not sure when I'll finish Unit 6. There will be an 6A and a 6B. Unit 6A has a dragons theme and it might be ready in another 2 weeks. Unit 6B will have a mythology theme and probably won't be finished until the middle of June. My school is out the beginning of June so I won't get to use the myself until next year. I'm so sorry they won't both be ready for this school year, but some of the units took longer for me to put together than I originally planned. So glad you've found them useful. I hope you had a great time with your first year in third grade. It's my favorite age.

I like your vocabulary and reading comprehension questions in this packet.
I'm looking for reading comprehension / vocabulary study guides for The Childhood of Famous Americans Series. Specifically:
Mr Rogers, Christopher Reeves, Pocahontas, Jackie Robinson, Daniel Boone, George Washington, Helen Keller, Crispus Attucks, Benjamin Franklin, Louisa May Alcott, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Clara Barton, John Glenn, Walt Disney
I'd like a couple questions per chapter and a dozen or so vocabulary words per book. I'll pay $3 per study guide. Interested? I need them in June.

Thank you so much. I'm glad you like the packet.
I'd like to help you out with your request but I'm already committed to finishing up the third grade CC units 6A and 6B. Those units could take me into June to complete.
Also, I'm not sure I would be able to find those specific books. We don't have them at my school so I'd have find them at local libraries.
So, I guess my answer is I'll try, but I can't promise to complete all the study guides by the end of June.

Do you have the essential question posters for second grade that would match the "I can statements for common core? I would really love to purchase them to have ready for next school year.
April 5, 2013
Crockett's Classroom (TpT Seller)
I don't have them for second grade. But I did create a third grade set for another customer. I'd be happy to make a set for second grade. Do you want the question to start "How can I . .?" And, do you have a preference on the font, modern or ZB? I'm working on my last CC unit for third grade but can probably have the essential questions posters ready by the end of May. Would that be soon enough?

Thank you for your question and I'm so glad you like the units. It's been a challenge, but I've had fun putting them together for my team and other third grade teachers.
I'm putting the finishing touches on Unit 5B right now. I plan on having it posted later this week.
Then I'll start on Unit 6. Not sure yet if I'll make it into 2 or 3 units. Unfortuntely, I'm not going to be able to finish Unit 6 before most schools are out for the summer. But, at least you'll have all 6 for your planning for next year.

Hi Lori,
In unit 3C the only text I used was "So You Want to be an Inventor" by St. George. The activities on pages 14-23 go with that book. I couldn't find any good texts on a 3rd or 4th grade level to use with the whole class so I decided to write the Kids Weekly Express. I used that as the text for the rest of the unit. When I wrote the Kids Weekly Express I used several books and online sites about inventors. Units 3A and 3B have reading biographies so I wanted to do something a little different with unit 3C.
Does this answer your question? Let me know if there is any other way I can help.

Teaching Queen (TpT Seller) re: Road to the White House, Presidential Elections Booklet
Hi! The answer key is not listed in the road to the white house booklet in the CC unit...do I need to buy that separate? I was going to leave it for a sub to do and wanted them to have the right answers! LOL! Thanks!

Crockett's Classroom (TpT Seller)
Good morning Nic,
The answers are included in the teacher directions page. If you have Unit 4C they're on page 6. If you have The Road to the White House, Prsidential Elections Booklet they're on page 2. The answers are listed page by page, not in a second copy of the booklet. If you have a sub coming in it might be a good idea to write in the answers for the copy you leave for her.

Teaching Queen (TpT Seller) re: CC Curriculum Map Unit 5A, Third Grade, On Planet Earth
Hi! First off I LOVE your units! I can only imagine the time and energy these took! I returned to third grade this year after 2 years teaching Kindergarten! These units have made my life so much easier! THANK YOU!!!!!! I wish I could hug you!!! LOL! I was wondering what your daily schedule looks like M-F? I am having a hard time adapting my schedule. I will most likely be in 3rd again next year so I'm trying to better plan my days. Would you mind sharing your daily plan and how it's set up? My email is npalmer@queensburyschool.org. Thanks! Nic

Hi Nic,
Thank you so much!. I'm delighted the units have helped you with your return to 3rd grade. Third grade is my favorite age. They are excited about learning and love everything!
The units have been a labor of love this year. It's been fun but challenging to put them together with activities I've used in my classroom over the past 25 years.
I'd be happy to share my daily schedule, but that has always been my biggest struggle. There is never enough time to get everything in. I've tried so many schedules through the years and have never found a perfect one.
Debbie

Thank you so much! I'm really glad other teachers are liking these units. Unit 5A is just hours away from being finished. I'm going to work like crazy tonight and tomorrow to get it posted by tomorrow afternoon. Unit 5 is called "A Feast of Words from a Planet Called Earth . . . And Beyond" Quite a title from the people who put together the Common Core Curriculum Maps. Unit 5A kind of focuses on Earth and Unit 5B will have a focus on the planets, or universe. It was a bit of a challenge getting those ideas to work out with the reading, language and writing activities. Hope everyone enjoys the activities.

Hi Vinnie,
Thank you for your question. I'm so glad you like the units and sorry the numbering is a little confusing. I've written them a little out of order this year because I tried coordinating them with some of our existing curriculum and special events. The numbering goes with the units from the Common Core Curriculum Maps from CommonCore.org. Each unit is supposed to be a 6-week unit. Putting together 6 weeks of reading, language and writing activities was a lot to plan and create. So I wrote the units in smaller parts. Unit 1 ended up as Unit 1A and 1B, each being a 3 week unit. Unit 2 is also divided into 2A and 2B. A couple of the units fit more naturally into 2 week units so I have Units 3A, 3B and 3C and 4A, 4B and 4C. Unit 5A is almost finished and it will be followed by Unit 5B. I hope to finish the year with Units 6A and 6B.
Once all the units are finished I may look into bundling them into one complete set for the year. I may also bundle the smaller units into one for each unit. This year I've wanted to get each part posted on my shop page as quickly as possible so other third grade teachers could have access to them through the year as I was able to complete them.
So... to try and clear things up, so far I've posted Units 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 3C, 4A, 4B, 4C. Unit 5A will be posted this week. Units 5B, 6A, 6B will be ready in the next couple of months.
Thank you for you interest in these units

Thanks Rachel,
I'm almost finished with Unit 5A and hope to have it posted by next Wednesday. After that I'll work on Unit 5B, which will complete Unit 5. I wanted to be finished with all 6 units by early spring, but I'm not going to make that deadline. Some of the units have taken longer than I expected to put together. (And it's been a really busy school year.) But the good news is, all 6 Units will be ready to go for next school year.

Crockett's Classroom (TpT Seller)
Thanks you for your interest. I've been really busy at school these past few weeks, so I'm afraid it probably won't be finished until the end of March. I'm working on Unit 5A, which focuses on Planet Earth with fiction lit studies, multi-meaning words, synomyms (shades of meaning) and writing genres. I'm trying to get it finished by the end of February. Then I'll start on Unit 5B which will have more of a space/planets theme. I really wanted to have all these units finished by early spring, but I guess I won't make it. Sorry I'm running late, but so happy to hear you're enjoying the units. I'll get them out as soon as I can.

I have purchased the posters and pocket chart cards for the Common Core Kindergarten. I love using them in my classroom. Would it be possible to have a copy of the frame that you used for the posters? I would like to use the template to add my state science and social studies learning goals to my board with the same format. What font is used on these cards? Thanks
February 13, 2013
Crockett's Classroom (TpT Seller)
Yes, I can send you the frame. If you'll email me at dsrtdebaz@gmail.com I can send you the file. If you purchased the posters and cards with the "modern" font I used a free font called Lilly. A Google search for Lilly free font should find it.

I purchased your kindergarten common core posters and pocket chart cards a few months back. I love using them in my classroom. I am looking to post my science and socials studies goals in a similar way. Would you mind if I used the frame that you used for the posters to create these goals for my classroom? Would you be able to send the frame to me, with the capibility of inputing text, for me to use? I would also like to know what font you used.

That's ok, no problems. I always try to honor customer requests, but my time is limited right now. Next summer I might think about putting out the posters with different graphics and I'll keep your suggestions in mind.

Thank you for your question. I'm sorry you don't care for the graphic images I used in my posters. The sets already have some really cute animals and school children. I'm afraid the only modifications I'll make is to change the font at a customer's request.

I'm glad you're enjoying my products. The CCSS Unit about the planets will be in Unit 5, which I hope to start working on in February. I'm working on Unit 3 right now. I don't have any specifics about what I'll include yet, but it will probably have wo parts, 5A and 5B. One of them will have a focus on the solor system. Thanks for asking about the units. They take more time than I expected to put together, but I'm enjoying the challenge.

Good morning,
I'd be happy to change a few of the clip art pictures for you. Since the only sections with kid graphics are on the writing, speaking and listening and language standards, those are the only ones I'll change. If you'll send a home email address to me at dsrtdebaz@gmail.com, I'll send the new file to you. The file will be too large for a school email.
Hope you have a very happy holiday,

Crockett's Classroom (TpT Seller)
Good morning,
I've been using the units out of numerical order because I wanted Unit 4 this fall. It worked so well with the Presidential elections. That's why Unit 3 isn't ready yet.
I'm working on Unit 3C right now and hope to have it posted by December 12. Sorry, but I don't think that will meet your 2 week timeline. I don't plan on using it until January. I'm preparing unit 3C first because it focuses on Civil Rights leaders which will work well with MLK Jr. Day in January. My goal is to have units 3A and 3B ready by the end of January. I've not thought of bundling the units, but will give it some thought. I have them separate because the files would be so large if I bundled them.

Does anyone else at your school use the CC curriculum maps? I wanted to look at their ELA units also. I bought three of yours today for 3rd grade. They look wonderful!
November 15, 2012
Crockett's Classroom (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much, I hope the units work out for you.
As far as I know, the third grade team is the only grade level using them this year. It's difficult making the transition because the budget doesn't support the purchase of more books. The teachers scramble to borrow books from other schools, but that isn't always enough. I think that's the main reason other grade levels aren't using the CC Curriculum Maps as much as the third grade team. I hope you have a great year.

November 4, 2012
Crockett's Classroom (TpT Seller)
Hi, thank your for purchasing the booklet. So sorry if the pages are a little confusing.
The pages need to be run back to back. The cover page and page 1/10 go back to back, then p. 2/9 and 3/8 go back to back, that leaves p; 4/7 and 5/6 to copy back to back. After copying the 6 pages back to back you'll have 3 pieces of paper. Lay down the first page you copied with p. 1/10 facing up, then place the next page on top with p. 3/8 facing up. Place the last page on top with p 5/6 facing up. Pick up the three pieces of paper and fold them in half so p 5/6 forms the inside middle pages and you should see the cover on the front. You'll need to staple the book on the outside edge or in the middle if you have a long arm stapler.
I hope these directions make sense for you. Let me know if you need anymore help.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
A classroom is a magical place. Engaging, young students enter, ready to learn and mature, confident students leave, more ready to take on the world. My classroom has always been my home away from home. It's important to make a classroom a warm and inviting place for the students and teacher. After all, such a large part of your day and your year is spent within those four walls! I love watching those "light bulbs" go on as students grasp the big idea of the lessons I've planned. The challenge is planning lessons and units that are engaging and academically sound I love that challenge! Through my carreer I've seen many changes, but none as great as the transition to the new Common Core State Standards. My goal is to use my experiences to create engaging, meaningful, and academic based units and materials for classroom teachers. My 30+ years of teaching have included 1st grade, Special Education-Resource program (K-8), 4th grade and my true love- 3rd grade.
