Possibly okay pre-assessment to check for knowledge of poetry terms. Like a short vocabulary test. Would have been better if it included an actual poem with some application questions.

Hi, I have not tried that. I don't know if you will get the animations and effects. I have an iPad mini, which I only got recently, and I am still learning. I will have to experiment with it. I will try to see how that works by next weekend. If you don't hear back from me, please send me a gentle reminder. You know how busy the end of school is! :) Deborah

Kelly Wade (TpT Seller) re: Myths, Legends, Fables and Folktales PowerPoint
I'm a 5th grade teacher and am wondering if this ppt would work for them. I saw that the age range was 6-12.
April 29, 2013
HappyEdugator (TpT Seller)
Hi Kelly, I think it can work. It depends on your group. I have had a 3rd grade teacher tell me it worked well (they only used pieces of each slide) and a fourth grade teacher tell me it was useful for fourth grade standards. I had one fifth grade teacher say it didn't work for her, and one recently that told me it was great! I originally had it marked for 5th and up, but when I got feedback from that one fifth grade teacher, I changed the the grade level range. I am sure you will be able to use it as long as you adjust to your kiddos...let me know how it works for you! Deborah

Daniel Thurber (TpT Seller) re: Cell Theory Graphic Organizer for Organelles
Hey HappyEdugator,
It looks like you have some really good things on here. I am new to this and can't tell you how many new ideas I have to share. I was just wondering, how long did it take you to to develop as many followers as you have now? I am trying to find new ways to get my name out there.
Thank you so much.
By the way, if you get a chance and you teach cells/organelles, check out my Cells Envelope activity. It is very engaging and fun for fourth - high school.
Keep up the hard work!

Absolutely! I have many resources that fourth graders can handle. I have taught fourth grade Title I in the past, as well as earlier grades, which is why I have such a wide range of resources.

Hi Jeffrey,
I took a screenshot of my slide, and then pasted it into Microsoft Picture Manager. From there I named my file, cropped it, and compressed the photo into a manageable size for the web, saving the new file. That is the file I upload to my TPT store. :)
Hope this helps. Wishing you great success in your new store!

debbore re: Writing Activities - Garbage Theme - From Trash to Treasure
Hi. I am very interested in your writing packet. I am doing a unit for my 1st graders on garbage and the 3 R's. Would these prompts be appropriate for a 1st grader?
October 22, 2012
HappyEdugator (TpT Seller)
Hello! To be honest, I have the prompts marked for third grade and above for independent writing. However, with scaffolding and support, I think many of them could be used for first graders, as long as they have guidance. There is nothing inappropriate, but the tasks could be challenging. For instance, I think they would need assistance with background knowledge with writing a conversation between two pieces of trash or writing a trash glossary or a job description for a garbage man.

vaburns re: Economics PowerPoint
How many slides are in the powerpoint and approximately how much time would it take to show it? (I realize depending on how the pp is used it could take more or less time.) Thank you.

Thanks for your interest. There are 25 slides and it should take at least 60 minutes to discuss and allow students to take notes, more or less depending on how you present it. :)

Jennifer Findley (TpT Seller) re: Halloween Poems and Fun Halloween Poem Writing Activity
I love this! We are finishing up our poetry unit soon! This will be perfect. Quick question: Do the poems contain sound devices such as alliteration and repetition or just rhyming words? Also, do they have figurative language?
October 3, 2012
HappyEdugator (TpT Seller)
Well, when I was writing them, I do remember thinking I have to put in some figurative language...that's what I teach the kids to do! :) So, I know I did put alliteration, repetition, and some imagery and other types of figurative language. Your question brought about an update! I just went through the poems and made a slide to identify them! Poetry is such fun! I hope you enjoy the poems, and of course, all future updates. Thanks!

Good Afternoon-- I purchased your Where the Red Fern Grows Novel Study & Supporting Mat's Gr. 4-9. I really like it but was disappointed that there weren't any answers to the chapter questions in the pdf. Do you have the answers that I could get from you? I sure would appreciate it. Thank you so much for this unit study. Janet

YouthPastor (TpT Seller) re: Bulletin Board Ideas and Slogans
I JUST joined today. I am a former teacher and used to be the go-to-guy for bulletin board ideas. I see that some people sell entire kits for bulletin boards. Do some people just sell ideas? Like a finely detailed plan without sending the materials to make it?
God Bless and thanks for you time!
Bryan

Welcome to TPT! :) Yes, Bryan. This particular product is just a list of ideas and slogans without the materials. Some teachers just want a list of ideas to create their own boards. Some people do make all the materials and sell them as well. You can find just about anything you need here, and if you don't, you can make a request for someone to make what you want. I hope this helps. Thanks for joining us! We are a very collaborative and caring community. Introduce yourself on the forum.
Blessings! Deborah

crouth re: 100 Points Book Report Rubric for Nonfiction Texts
I would like to give you a high rating for this document; however, I don't want it to say "Seventh Grade." Would you send me one without that on there? I'm not computer savvy enough to know how to take it off.
September 29, 2012
HappyEdugator (TpT Seller)
Thanks for letting me know that I had made it grade specific. I will remove Seventh Grade and TPT should send you an email to let you know I have updated the product and you can download it again! I hope this will help you and thanks in advance for a great rating! ;)

Hmmmmmm. For whatever reason. I just clicked on it again & it's all there the way I need it. So sorry ... not sure what I was doing or what happened. But thanks a million for the support ... and the presentation. :)

HappyEdugator (TpT Seller)
Sorry I did not answer you sooner, but I got sidetracked. I did see that you seemed to have the problem solved. I am glad it worked out for you! Deborah

ddehlinger re: September 11 PowerPoint Show
Yes, I did that. I really do know how to save. :) I also downloaded a different 9-11 ppt from TPT and it saved as a ppt and I'm able to edit it. Your ppt shows in my Downloads on my computer files. But when I end the show it goes back directly to TPT. I do not get an option to save it as anything else or see the slide frames like a normal show. When I open it from the file on my computer, it goes directly to the first slide as a slideshow. I've tried this on 2 computers now. [Although I love the entire presentation, I'm most concerned about the slides that show people hurt - and the body falling off the building. Just don't want to go there w/10 & 11 yr olds.]
Thanks for responding. Any ideas you may have would be appreciated. :)

ddehlinger re: September 11 PowerPoint Show
I put this in comments ... should have put it here. Sorry. I love your ppt, but need to edit a couple of the graphic photos before I show it to my 5th graders. Thank you for responding quickly. :)
September 8, 2012
HappyEdugator (TpT Seller)
This is how you can edit: When you download, save the file. I usually choose "save as" and put it in a folder I will remember how to find. Then, don't open the file. If you open the file, it will open automatically as a PowerPoint show. Open your PowePoint program first. If you open your PowerPoint program first and then open it, it should come up as slides, which you can edit. At least that works for me using PowerPoint 2007. I just tried it again, and it worked. If you need any more help, let me know. - Happyedugator

lifeisgood1 re: Peak by Roland Smith Introductory PowerPoint Presentation
Guided question..... Not having the opportunity to read Peak what is the conflict/resolution?
September 8, 2012
HappyEdugator (TpT Seller)
Peak is a great story, especially for reluctant boys! The main conflict is about a boy named Peak who loves to climb, but almost lands in jail for climbing a skyscraper in N.Y. He has two choices, go to juvenile detention or go live with his estranged father. He chooses his father, and thinks he will go live with him in his home and get a chance to bond with him. However, his father has something different in mind. He wants him to be the youngest person to climb Mt. Everest. He struggles with the idea of being used by his father for personal gain, and he also discovers that there is another kid who is attempting to be the youngest climber who is a week younger than he is. They battle it out against a rugged mountain. The theme is about personal growth and overcoming challenges as Peak struggles with these internal and external conflicts. In the resolution, generosity of spirit triumphs over selfishness. Hope this will help you!

rkuhl7 re: The Cay Novel Study
love the packet you have put together! I was wondering if you had the rest of the vocabulary stuff for the rest of the chapters. Seems like you have Ch. 1-3 "Word wall/Question/Answers", but I didn't see the rest of the chapters except for the word wall on ch. 4-7. Let me know. Thanks again. I''ll have to see if you have any other novel packets like this one.
Thanks,

Updated today (August 30, 2012) with Vocabulary and Word Walls for Chapters 9-12 and 13-18.

friendlyra re: September 11 PowerPoint Show
When I play the slideshow, it does not play music. I just hear a clicking sound. Any suggestions??
August 26, 2012
HappyEdugator (TpT Seller)
Because of copyright laws, I cannot sell the music. I can only recommend that you play those songs with it. They can be downloaded from most music websites. Once you download the songs, you can embed the audio into the show if you desire, or you can play the mp3's with it on Media Player while it is playing. I am sorry I cannot include the songs with the PowerPoint, but it is not legal.

You said a person who wants to download this powerpoint needs to have the application pptx on their computer before downloading it. Where or how do I do this? Thank you Jane Stephen
August 26, 2012
HappyEdugator (TpT Seller)
PowerPoint is a Microsoft Office program. If you do not have Microsoft Office, you can still get a free PowerPoint Viewer program from the Microsoft website. Hope this will help!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have a total of 21 years teaching experience. After I received my M.Ed. from the University of Florida, I began teaching in elementary school, where I taught pull-out remedial classes for grades 2-5 and a section of K-1. Then I taught Pre-K for 5 years, before I decided to go up to Middle School, where I have been in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. I am currently teaching 7th grade where I seem to have found my niche. I am certified in Elementary Education as well as in Middle Grades in the areas of Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. I am also certified as a Teacher Support Specialist. I have an endorsement as a Reading Specialist K-12, and I also completed my Gifted and Talented Endorsement.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I try to make everyday an unforgettable day! I make every effort to appeal to a variety of learning styles, so that students can stay focused and engaged in learning. Children should walk away from my classroom with a love for reading and a hunger for learning something new everyday.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
Kappa Delta Pi International Education Honor Society, Golden Key Honor Society, Teacher of the Year 1999-2000, Teacher Support Specialist, 2010 VFW Teacher of the Year for the State of Georgia
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
Graduated with honors from the University of Florida.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Although I have many students, I have two children of my own. My daughter is now 31, and engaged to be married. She is currently working as a chef at a fine restaurant in Seattle. My son is 30 and is currently working as a CNC programmer. I am enjoying being a grandmother of a sweet little boy. My husband and I love the outdoors, especially camping, fishing, and going to the springs or the beach. We have two dogs, a lab/chow mix and a border collie/daschund mix, who are both spoiled rotten.
