carolann22 re: Common Core State Standards Kindergarten Assessment Checklists {editable}
Jennifer my email is cdryden@bcps.org. Thanks so much for sending me the uneditable versions. I'm using Windows 7 and Powerpoint 2007 on a PC (tried both desktop and laptop PC to see if it made a difference). Thanks for your prompt response. I think I am going to love this resource when all the lines are correct :)
June 17, 2013
carolann22 re: Common Core State Standards Kindergarten Assessment Checklists {editable}
I bought the Editable Common Core K Assessment Checklists, but when I look at them in PowerPoint some of the pages are formatted incorrectly (some of the pages have half of it missing, some pages have the lines are missing in between students or standards). This is irritating to me because I need uniformity, lol. Can you see what the issue is or let me have a NON editable version - I'd rather have a PDF file with all the lines/pages formatted correctly than an editable version with formatting that's non-uniform. Thanks!
ETA: THe pages that are incorrect on my downloaded file are pages 5, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27. I have done NOTHING to the file that would have changed the formatting, this is straight after opening it up.

I'm so sorry! Everything looks fine in my version of ppt. Can I ask are you using Mac or PC? What version of ppt and Office do you have? Send me your email and I'll send you the uneditable version while I try to figure this out.

bethanysnorton re: Daily Editing Word Problems
Jennifer,
I have been looking for a new "Daily Oral Language" to start in August. I really like what you have created, but like others have mentioned, I would prefer the whole week be on a page rather than having the kids get one strip a day. Is this something that you are working on or could be done? I was just wondering before I made my final purchase. :)
Thanks so much for your time and creativity!

Hi,
This is an off topic question. You have some wonderful daily word problems on your blog. They are older posts. Because they are old, they are not accessible. Would you consider re-posting or making the, accessible?
We are still in session and I thought these would be so good for my students. Who knows I could get a start on next year.

I purchased 4 licenses for your decoding strategies. Obviously, I love them!
When I printed them though, many pages (title page, table of contents, whole decoding strategies page, etc...) printed colour images but crossed out all the print. I cannot give this to the teachers as is. Please let me know how to fix this error. Thank you.

Jennifer Bates (TpT Seller)
Sorry to hear you are having trouble. I would try upgrading your PDF viewer or perhaps opening it with preview if you have a Mac? This is the first time I've heard of crossed out print. Sometimes just printing to a different printer works! I hope one of these suggestions work for you.

The other part bounces around means - the checklist itself moves if I don't click and drag perfectly. I just tried Arial- still a pain to work with. Some pages just don't line up perfectly with cut and paste. The font size is 16 on the original page but 18 on later pages - that needs tweaked by hand. Have you gone thru and tried to cut/paste on every page? Sorry to be so negative but I also had my techy daughter play with it and she found it to be a cumbersome process and was frustrated. I really just need a tool I can work with without a fancy font and cutsey clip art. With 2 kdg classes I just don't have the time to try to enter names all thru this twice.

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt reply. I did change the font and size- I'm just not finding this user friendly. I'm spending too much time trying to line things up and then the other part bounces around.

May 12, 2013
Jennifer Bates (TpT Seller)
Did you try adjusting the line spacing? Can you explain what you mean by "other part bounces around?" I just tried changing the font to Arial and it lined up without me changing anything else. Maybe try that?
May 12, 2013
joni16511 re: Common Core State Standards Kindergarten Assessment Checklists {editable}
Could I have it without the clip art so I could edit it? I would much rather have a version I could work with - I'm thinking if you did not use the clip art then you could have an editable version available.
May 12, 2013
Jennifer Bates (TpT Seller)
Joni,
I hope my response to your post below helps. Posting my original without clip art in Word will most likely not make things easier for you. If you don't have the same exact version and all the same fonts, things will be moved around and misaligned. Please let me know if you continue to have problems and I'll see what else I can do to help you.

I am having a hard time copy/pasting the names. What is the trick? It doesn't line up, and the more I try the worse it gets.
May 12, 2013
Jennifer Bates (TpT Seller)
The font I used lined up so I am guessing if yours isn't lining up that you must not have that font.
1. You can change the font to anything you like and then adjust the font size and line spacing (on the tool bar under paragraph. The button that has an arrow pointing up and one pointing down. If you hover over the icons the name will come up.)
2. You could go get the same font I used http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Font-Fun
Hope that helps!

Joni Harris (TpT Seller) re: Sight Word Superstars: Building Fry List Fluency
I love this method of learning sight words! I have a question for you. I teach first grade and so far most of my kids are doing great. For your lower students, would you send home the whole page of words or would you break it up into smaller sections?
April 26, 2013
Jennifer Bates (TpT Seller)
Hi Joni,
I'm so glad you like it! I send home the whole page but have explained to my parents that they should work to master the first list before moving on to the next. We also include a few sight words on every spelling test since these are often hard to spell.
Hope that helps!

Megan,
For a fellow Illini alum, of course I will edit it for you! Do you like the wording with cocoa or hot chocolate better? The original is in an old version of Word and it is NOT playing nicely with the new versions. I think I am going to have to start over but truthfully it could use a facelift anyway. I will try my best to get it done this weekend.

Bizarre, that should not happen with a PDF! Try opening it with preview instead of Adobe Reader. I was also told that when the person tried a different printer it worked. If neither of those work send me your email and I can try sending it in a different format. So sorry, it printed fine for me.

I absolutely LOVE this program..it has been a wonderful motivator for my students. Believe it or not, I teach Kindergarten, and I have a couple of students right now that are on the verge of finishing the first 600 words! I would LOVE to continue this with them...they are highly motivated to do so. Any chance you have anything? Thanks so much for your time and for sharing this great resource!

I just purchased your decoding strategies pack... I've seen it all over Pinterest and am excited to use it with my first graders. I am having trouble getting the pack to print. Our school printers say that it is too graphic intense. I've never had this happen before, but am anxious to begin using the posters. Would it be possible for you to email me the individual pdfs instead of having them all in a packet? Even trying to print them page by page is unsuccessful. If you have other suggestions I would be grateful. My school email is gblumberg@lincnet.org
Many thanks,

Hi Jenn, I don't have a question for you but wanted to tell you how much I like your Me on the Map Project. I noticed that the children drew a picture of Hacienda Elem. School. Is that the school by Calero Dam? I taught 1st grade at Hacienda before it became a science school. I believe that it closed or became the science school in l980 when I moved to Colorado. I am using your packet this year with my first graders but this will be my last year. I taught 10 years in SJ Unified at Hacienda, moved to Colo., moved to Dublin, Ca. taught preschool for 6 years and have now been teaching 1st grade for 17 years in NY. Thanks for making this packet.

Sheryl Petersen re: Subtraction Strategies for the Common Core
Hi, Jenn,
What font did you use for the subtraction strategies poster? When I print it, the lowercase e doesn't print completely. I'm guessing that I need a different font. Just wondering...

Sheryl,
Weird, a pdf should make it print no matter what. The title is MTF Jumpin' Jack and the rest is Janda Safe and Sound Solid.

Thanks a million! I really appreciate the addition of the "province" page!

M Fry (TpT Seller) re: Me on the Map: The Original Map Circle Project and Much, Much More!
Hi Jennifer, I just purchased this and was wondering if you had a Canadian version. Or at least a page for "province" instead of "state". Thanks so much!

Jennifer Bates (TpT Seller)
I added a province page for you. Simply download again!

kconk29 re: Ready Freddy Book Club 2 Pack
Are there comprehension questions for each chapter or is is comprehension questions for the whole book on one page? Thanks for your help! The pack looks super cute!
November 25, 2012
Jennifer Bates (TpT Seller)
Since these are easier books the questions are not broken up by chapter. There are 12 questions on two pages for each book, plus the double bubble map comparing the two books. My students did well with them.

Alex,
I know there is nothing wrong with the pdf so it must be a printer/computer issue. What if you try opening the pdf with preview? Do that by selecting the pdf then going up to file open with preview.

I know this sounds crazy but I have adobe on my mac computer but I can't figure out how to open the download without it opening in preview. Thank you for the help. :)

Adobe Reader should open when you double click on the pdf. Maybe check your updates? You can still print from preview though.

Do you have this available for second grade? My high readers raced through it and I would like to keep them challenged.

ellilee re: Mother's Day Gift ideas: If You GIve a Mom a Muffin
Could you please send me a blank copy (without the words) because my students are writing their own version. Also, it is not for Mother's Day, so could you also remove that as well?
Thanks,
Elli

Without the words the pages would essentially be blank so I really don't understand this request. Sorry.

Natura re: Decoding Strategies: A Quick-Reference Guide for Parents & Guided Reading
Hello,
I love the decoding stragegies packet. I wanted to print several in color and get them laminated to have several students put a copy in their book boxes when they are reading silently. Do I have to buy additional licenses to print a color copy? I was trying to print more than one color copy and it is not printing correctly.
Thank You,
Sherry

Hi Sherry,
No, you don't have to buy additional licenses unless you want to share them with other teachers. You should be able to print as many copies as you want. Try opening it with preview instead of Adobe Reader and see if that helps. You may need to update your Adobe Reader.
Hope that helps,
Jenn
