Really cute set! There is one error though. On the cut and paste graph, you have 2 sailboats instead of a sailboat and a treasure chest. I just had the kids draw their own treasure chest instead.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I have updated the file, so please download again!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Ravenli68 re: Behavior and Data Notebook Covers- FREE!
Ok, stupid question I know, but are these notebooks kept by the students or is this for the teacher? What do you keep in them?
March 23, 2013
Dana Lester (TpT Seller)
I made them for my notebooks. The data notebook contains ALL my test data. It's the biggest notebook you've ever seen. Benchmark scores, copies of progress reports, DIBELS scores, etc. The behavior notebook has my weekly behavior logs and individual student behavior notes. Does that help?

Thanks you so much for your help!!!!!

Dana Lester (TpT Seller)
You're welcome! I added those slides, so you should be good to go!
November 23, 2012
Smithj62 re: Common & Proper Nouns {capitalization rules} Power Point
Hello! I was wondering if this was aligned with CCSS and are there any slides with " I can " statements as well any form of assessment? Thanks so much for all your help!!
November 23, 2012
Dana Lester (TpT Seller)
It meets the following standards:
1st Grade: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.1.2a Capitalize dates and names of people
2nd Grade: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.2.2a Capitalize holidays, product names, and geographic names.
3rd Grade; CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.3.2 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.3.2a Capitalize appropriate words in titles.
4th Grade: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.4.2 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.4.2a Use correct capitalization.
There are no slides that have I Can Statements, but that is a good idea. I will add some. There are no written assessments but there are 10 sentences included that need editing. Students could write these sentences or can serve as a verbal assessment (which is how I used it). If you have already purchased this PP, check under My Purchases and when I make changes to it, you will see the words Re-Download flashing. I hope this helped!

Dana -
I purchased this powerpoint this evening and it will not open in my MS PowerPoint 2011...do you have any suggestions for me? Tried re-downloading only to keep getting the same message that the file may be corrupt or a file type unable to be opened by PP. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thank you so much,
Kelli
