QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
SraM re: Higher Order Thinking Posters based on Bloom's Taxonomy
Hi Dawn,
I have a question for you regarding the Blooms posters that you developed. We are interested in using them for all of our monlingual classrooms. I will need to purchase several licensces (30) for our school. I have several questions regarding the purchase of these. Would you please email me at almosquera@d47.org so that we can further discuss this? I would appreciate it.
Thank you,

Dawn Gray (TpT Seller)
I'm sorry that you are experiencing this. I had one other person have a problem with blurry words on a different product a long time ago. I sent a message to the tot administration about it and they told me to direct the customer to them for help. Please try this or you can send me your email address and I will directly email the product to you to see if it helps. dawngray1106@hotmail.com
Thank you for letting me know. I will work with you until you get the product.

sandeetolleson re: Word Wall Bundle Pack
Your Word Wall Bundle Pack is very good. I love the visuals that accompany each sight word. The activities are effective strategies that support learning new sight words. However, the spaces you provide on a page for students to write in are far too small for kindergarten and first grade students to write in. Your worksheets do not match the fine motor abilities that the sight words are intended for. The writing spaces need to be at least double the size that they are. I have been copy the papers enlarging the pages on big bulky 11x17 paper, which costs more. I would rather have more pages that I can copy back to back than have my students work on the large sheets. Would you consider adapting?
November 8, 2012
Dawn Gray (TpT Seller)
I will see if it is possible for me to do that. I will tell you that when I created this I based my lines on the recommendation of our county's occupational therapist. She presented an inservice on handwriting for kindergarten through 2nd grade. She said for us to provide the students with smaller lines and to get rid of the large pencils and to use standard size pencils, but to sharpen them down. To provide little hands with little pencils and lines. This is what I have been using with my first graders and it works for me. However, I understand that it doesn't work for you. I will see if I can increase the lines for you. It will take me about a week because I am in the middle of preparing report cards and for conferences. My e-mail address is dawngray1106@hotmail.com. I need you to e-mail me so I can send this to you. Otherwise, I would have no way to contact you. Replying to this question doesn't provide me with your e-mail. Again, I am more than willing to try and make the lines bigger for you. I will see what I can do.

clapco4 re: Weekly Word Wall Lists with Visual Pictures
Are these the Dolch words?
July 25, 2012
Dawn Gray (TpT Seller)
Yes! These are the dolch words with a few extra words added in. Sorry it took me a few days to respond. I was out of town and didn't have any internet service. If you purchase these and have need for any words that are not in there, let me know and I will do my best to find pictures and create those word cards for you.

scottyaflyer re: Visual Word Wall Words
Hi Dawn,
I purchased the Visual Word Wall and I love the pictures. I can't seem to connect "the" with the picture (little person with the sling on the arm). I'm not sure how to explain the picture to my kids. Would you explain it to me?
Also, would you send me a card for "fun" & "funny". I'd like to add it to my word wall.
Thanks so much!
Kathy

Kathy- I just say "the" boy broke his arm. "the" was a tough one to come up with a picture. My email address is dawngray1106@hotmail.com. If you email me I will make you a word for fun and funny. I am out of town for a few days and don't have access to a computer. I will do it as soon as I return home.

Lorena Reynoso (TpT Seller) re: Read to Someone and Reading Coach Bookmark
I downloaded these cute bookmarks, but none of the words are there. I think it's the font you used, because I had the same problem with a different download. Is there any way for you to change the font and send it to my e-mail? Thanks!
March 18, 2012
Dawn Gray (TpT Seller)
I will, but I will need your e-mail address. It might take me a couple of days. My dad is having surgery for his heart today, but I will do it the first chance I have.

Scipi (TpT Seller) re: Read to Someone and Reading Coach Bookmark
I saw your posting on the Sellers Forum page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. Well done!
I have a few suggestions that might help you to better market your products. First, create a cover page for EVERY product you create which can then be used as an attractive thumbnail to entice buyers. Add a second page which is a directions or suggestions page. List several ways you use this product in your classroom. Never assume that a buyer knows how, why, or when to use your product. Use the footer to put the copyright symbol, your name and date of creation on EVERY page. Items, especially free ones, have been "stolen" from TPT and posted on other sites to be sold. You have to protect all of your creations. Also, number your pages.
I love to get feedback from a variety of teachers; so, if you have time, I’d appreciate your input on my freebie listed below.
