I love the Letter Uu packet.
I did want to let you know that on the Shake and Make page, there's a typo. The directions read, "As your shake out" instead of "As you shake out." Thought you'd want to know! :)

Hi Jessica,
I'm in LOVE with all of your sight word activities. My kids have really struggled with sight words because we just don't have parent participation. My kids ADORE the Mystery Sight Word pages. Would you consider making more? Maybe even ones that include Holiday or other themed words? This was such a brilliant idea and my kids are requesting more. Thank you!

Hi - I purchased this packet a week or so ago and see that it has a updated download- but I can't seem to open to see what the changes might be. Can you let me know what changes were made? Thanks - Mary
February 6, 2013
Jessica Travis (TpT Seller)
Hi,
The only thing I really changed were the fonts. Some of the previous fonts were confusing for the lower grades, so I changed it to a more basic-print (student-friendly) font.
You should be able to go to "My Purchases" and re-download the packet".
If you can't, please email me at: wildaboutfirsties@gmail.com and I can send you the file directly.
Thank you so much!

Hello Jessica,
Would you be at all interested in making some short (2 to 3 minute) lesson videos for us? You can of course plug your blog/website/TpT site as well. :)
We'd put them on our website (TinyGrads.com) and on our YouTube channel, which gets quite a lot traffic (over 40,000 total daily views).
We also offer $30 per video. Every little bit helps :)
We know though that you must be really busy. So we just thought we'd see if this is at all interesting to you. If so, we'd love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Peter

My students are loving this!! I copy them, laminate, and they use dry erase crayons. My question is this: some of them are having trouble with the font...in particular the letter t and the letter s. They keep telling me it is upside down. Do you have that problem or are my kids just too picky?
January 10, 2013

Hi Teresa,
YES! I have the exact same issue in my classroom! It is an adorable font, but now that my students are using the centers and activities with it, it's very confusing for some! I will be changing the fonts in many of my word work packets for this very reason! Check you mail soon, because an updated packet will posted soon!

I have tried multiple times in the past couple of weeks to make this form editable, and each time, it only allows me to go so far. I think it may be the program I am using. I need to see if I can create or upload this packet into another templateand start over in a new program! Hopefully this will work!
I will post on here when that happens! Hopefully it will be soon!

Hi,
With lower elementary, I always like to start the election lessons with an election book. Some great ones are "My Teacher For President" , "Duck for President" (which go with some of the activities in this packet)! I do not have an exact lesson plan that correlates with this packet, however when I do teach the election process, these activities can fit right in with any lesson that you or someone may already be using.
In my class, after we read one of the election books, we discuss the election process, what it is, why we have it, who participates, etc.... and go from there. We always do a "mock election" in our class on various topics, which is when we use the voting ballots. It is easy to use one of the stories as your election, (duck and farmer) (teacher vs. other selected candidates) that way the students can relate to the election process. Of course this year, using the actual candidates (Obama & Romney) would also be a great addition to the election unit.
We also discuss the roles of the president and what he does while in office, and great qualities that this person should have.
I hope this helps and that your class has a blast while learning all about the election process!
Thanks again,
Jessica

I do not have an exact lesson plan that correlates with this packet, however when I do teach the election process, these activities can fit right in with any lesson that you or someone may already be using.
In my class, after we read one of the election books, we discuss the election process, what it is, why we have it, who participates, etc.... and go from there. We always do a "mock election" in our class on various topics, which is when we use the voting ballots. It is easy to use one of the stories as your election, (duck and farmer) (teacher vs. other selected candidates) that way the students can relate to the election process. Of course this year, using the actual candidates (Obama & Romney) would also be a great addition to the election unit.
We also discuss the roles of the president and what he does while in office, and great qualities that this person should have.
I hope this helps and that your class has a blast while learning all about the election process!
Thanks again,
Jessica

beckyp99 re: Rhyming {Super Rhyming Activities!}
Would this packet be appropriate for struggling readers in Kindergarten?

Hi,
This packet can always help readers by identifying the similarities in words as they are reading and by learning the patterns of word families, which is always beneficial to a new reader! The packet does not focus on sight words, fluency, or other reading strategies. It mainly focuses on being able to identify and read rhyming words!
I hope this helps!
Thank you,
Jessica

Hi! I purchased your Fire Safety Week activities, and when I downloaded and then printed to use in my classroom, there were parts of the pages that were blurred out. Did I download wrong?

Hello!
If you are using a Mac, make sure you open the document in Reader and not in preview. Also, be sure to have the latest version of adobe reader, and this should solve the problem!

MaggieNoland re: A Monster Pack of Literacy Activities
Hi. I downloaded the preview and only saw recording sheets. Are there colored pieces (or centers) to go along with the sheets? Thanks!
October 6, 2012
Jessica Travis (TpT Seller)
Hello!
The Monster Pack is more a word work center, so it is mostly independent activity sheets. There are colored vocabulary cards at the end of the packet that could help students with their activities. (short vowel words, blends, digraphs, etc...).
Thank you,

Are you using a mac? Open the document in Reader instead of Preview! Also, make sure you have the latest version of Adobe reader! This should allow the document to print correctly!

When I downloaded my purchase of the Fire Safety Unit is is showing up with blurred words. Do you know how I can fix this or could you try and e-mail it to me and see if that works? It was purchased today (10/5).
Sorry... I am using a Mac and just saw your suggestions below! Worked perfectly :) Thanks!

Sara Crepaux (TpT Seller) re: Apples of Fun! A Thematic Unit With Apples & Johnny Appleseed
Hi Jessica,
I purchased the unit and it prints out with big blank lines and spots, is this intend to be that way? In the preview it showed a really nice K W L apple printable but when I open the document it is not there. Have others had this problem downloading it? Where I believe there should be an apple pie recipe. It only had dark bold black lines across the page. Please Help!

This is awesome. I am going to use this set for my Safari in my room this year, self-contained ED, K-4. I want to incorporate the clipart throughout the room though as the overall theme. Do you have a full class decor set or can you tell me clip art and font? Thanks,

This set opens as several smeared bars-no pictures. Is there a different way to open it? I have had no difficulty in the past opening TPT items. I tried twice with the same results.
