A lot of time to put together and directions were a little unclear - it took 3 of us to figure out what went with what, but we did and the kids enjoyed each game.

Thank you so much for telling me about the unclear directions! I went back and rewrote them to make them more clear! I have to admit, they really did need to be rewritten! Thanks so much for letting me know. It is much appreciated!! You can download the new version at your "my purchases" page at no cost!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
newbie01 re: It's Time for Guided Reading...Now What Do I Do?
This looks great! Do you have anything like this for middle school?
June 18, 2013
Dragons Den (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much! I'm afraid I don't have anything for middle school. Since I have never taught in middle school, I don't really feel qualified to put something together that would meet a middle school teacher's needs. There are some great products on TPT that are similar to this (I think) that you would find useful. Thanks so much for your question.

Lynnwilson re: Silent Letters - Sir Good Knight and the Silent Letter Snitch!
This is a big (and diffiucult) unit for my first graders, I love love love your posters, but would the activities be too difficult? From the preview I think at this time of year they would work with a little guidance?
Love your things!!!!!
Love your things!!!!!
April 13, 2013
Dragons Den (TpT Seller)
First of all...thank you so much for your kind words! It's always nice to know other teachers like my resources!! As far as this particular resource is concerned, I think it would be difficult for first graders. However, it would depend on their overall reading level. If most of your students are reading above the first grade reading level, it would work. Otherwise, it may be too much for them. I hope this helps!

Courtney125 re: Ants In Their Pants! Getting Through the Last Days of School!
I noticed that in your preview for the "Going Ape" activity that you have "Pealing" a banana. The correct spelling is "peeling." The activity looks great! I think if you are able to correct that minor thing, the product would be excellent!

Oh good grief! I'll fix it right now. It will take about 1/2 hour to get it done and reloaded! Thanks so much for letting me know!!!

lentija re: Who is the Government Fairy and What is She Doing here?
Would you use this as your federal governement unit? or is this just an introduction?
February 25, 2013
Dragons Den (TpT Seller)
It was my total federal, state and local government lessons for third grade. It covers the three branches of government found on federal and state levels, as well as how local government works. I would say it all depends on what your state standards are. I hope that is helpful.

killam1 re: It's Time for Guided Reading...Now What Do I Do?
it looks great! any chance you will be creating a packet for 1st graders?
January 21, 2013
Dragons Den (TpT Seller)
Actually there is already a GREAT packet for guided reading for first graders written by Deanna Jump! I suggest you go to her store and check it out. She is an awesome creator of curriculum. I think you will be very happy with her guided reading packet!

leticialuciane re: Chomping Nouns!
Hi, I`m a superfan of your work and I was wondering if we could make our students write to each other during this year? I work in a bilingual school in the south of Brazil and this year I`m gonna teach fourth and fifth year students. What do you think?
January 20, 2013
Dragons Den (TpT Seller)
I would LOVE to do that if I was still teaching, however I retired a couple of years ago. I only wish we could have gotten together when I was teaching, it would have been such a great opportunity! I do have friends who are still teaching, and might like to be pen pals with your class. If you are interested in having me contact them with your information just e-mail me at: tomandjanbernard@gmail.com and I'll get right on it!
Thanks so much for your kind words about my work. You really make my day!

Mr Z in NC (TpT Seller) re: It's Time for Guided Reading...Now What Do I Do?
Do you have these available for just the specific grade level the worksheets go with? Or just one bundle? Just curious:)
November 28, 2012
Dragons Den (TpT Seller)
It's all one bundle. The reason I did it that way was to meet the various reading levels within any particular classroom. I know in my own classroom I often have four different reading levels. I wanted the resource to meet as many needs for a teacher as possible.
thanks for your question,
Jan

Are you going to be offering any more of A Unit About Goods and Services?
November 21, 2012
Dragons Den (TpT Seller)
I wasn't going to offer another unit on goods and services, however I am planning on offering more units on economics such as opportunity cost, resources and the like. I can always add to the goods and services unit I have, what would you like to see included? In the summer I will be going through each of my resources and updating them as I see a need. I might be able to add whatever you need then. In that case, you would get a notice that I have updated the product, and you can download it again for free.
Thanks so much for your question. You can respond here on the question and answer page, or e-mail me at tomandjanbernard@gmail.com

callas444 re: A borrowing and Carrying Math Story Unit: Dragon Eggs
Hello there. Do you think this is appropriate as a very first introduction to regrouping with second graders? They are familiar with the basics of place value.
November 13, 2012
Dragons Den (TpT Seller)
Hi back!! Thanks for your question!
It is a very good way to introduce second graders to carrying and borrowing. It makes the whole process very concrete. With older students who were confused with the process, I had to go back to the second grade "tens" to start to build understanding. In my opinion it is the perfect introduction, especially for second graders.
Thanks,
Jan

So this has nothing to do with products but I was reading your profile and saw that you did some of the Before the Store Books. I did some of those too - Footballs, Pencils, Bicycles, and Toilet Paper. Anyway, just wanted to say hi! Feel free to delete this question.

Actually it isn't a book. The cover of the lesson is something I made with the help of Jim Corcoran, an artist from Toledo, Ohio. It would be a good book though! Maybe Jim and I need to do something like that! We already worked together to make "The Great Pickle Panic" that is in my store, but we were looking for the next one. Thanks! I think you have given us something to work on! Jan

Scipi (TpT Seller) re: Ants In Their Pants! Getting Through the Last Days of School!
I saw your posting on the Sellers Forum page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. It is well done. You might consider offering just a couple of the activites as free and then mention on the last page that entire packet can be purchased. Many of us use that as a marketing strategy. Check out my freebies below to see what I mean.
Here are a few suggestions that might help you to better market your products. Consider adding 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.
If you have time, I’d appreciate your input on one of my freebies listed below.
