I just love these. What a great collection of words - nouns, verbs, starters, and prepositions. I just downloaded them all for my students to use to increase vocabulary and build sentences. Thanks so much - And all were free. You are wonderful!

Hello,
The standards are typed in. If your screen doesn't look like the screen shot in the preview, let me know and I'll try to help you out. You can e-mail me at joellwilkins@gmail.com.
If you look at the bottom of the screen, you will see tabs with each set of standards. Click on that tab to see the one you want. Did that help? Please respond. I want my product to work for you.
Thanks,
Joell

Good luck with first grade. It's really hard at the beginning of the year, but there's a HUGE payoff by the end. They're amazing kids with a love for anything new.

Thank you for all your hard work on these vocabulary cards. The clip art paired with the words will be perfect for the learners in my special education class. I am also excited about having students use the small cards to make sentences. This will be very helpful. Thank you, again.

Love this! Great beginning of year assessment. Gives a lot of info in a quick assessment. The only thing I would change is to have the letters out of order for the student page. This way I can see if they can identify the letters in isolation. Thank you for your freebie!
July 29, 2012
JoellW (TpT Seller)
Hi BreeL,
I hope you find it useful. I put the letters in order because I use them as flash cards. I cut them out and mix them up.

Scipi (TpT Seller) re: 1st Grade math and reading beginning of year assessment
I saw your posting on the Sellers Forum page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. Here are a few suggestions that might help you to better market your products.
First, make a cover page for EVERY product you create which can then be used as an attractive thumbnail to entice buyers even if it is only one page. You are competing with over 25,000 followers, and you want them to notice your products. Move your advertising to the last page of the document. Buyers do not want to see that up front.
Use the footer to put the copyright symbol, your name and date of creation on EVERY page. Here is how you do that. Use the insert and go to the right. You should see symbols there. Insert the copyright symbol, your name and date. It should look something like this: © V. Rauch (Scipi), 2011 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.
It is important that we see what others are doing; so, feel free to look at any or all of my freebies listed below to gather some ideas. If you care to, a rating or any feedback you might have would be great.

Hi! I teach in Holladay, not far from you. :) I've never taken a Write Up a Storm class, but I do know some of the activities. I've been working with my 1st graders on nouns and verbs, using the red and green color coding from WUAS. I learned songs for each of those in my Student Teaching, but I have yet to find a good one for adjectives. Do you use the color coding and if so, do you have a song for the adjectives? I've attempted to be creative in coming up with my own, but it's just not working. :)
October 22, 2012
JoellW (TpT Seller)
Hello,
I haven't taught the adjectives to my class yet. I couldn't get a good song last year, so we just chanted and I used the 5 senses. "Adjectives tell how something looks, sounds, smells, tastes or feels" as the students pointed to the respective body parts. I'm looking for songs and things as I go this year, so if I find something, I'll gladly share it with you. Send me an e-mail at joellwilkins@gmail.com if you want more information or to share resources. I have a noun song and a verb song that the kids love.
I do use the color coding. We are being trained in my school by Wilda and her training partner, Deb. Deb is the one who teaches K-1. Feel free to e-mail me if you want.
Thanks for writing,
Joell

i ordered this and don't want it. i thought it would be ready to go since i was paying for it but i have a lot of work to do to even use it.

Did you see the tabs at the bottom with the standards listed? You should be able to click on the tab to bring up the standards in that domain. All you should need to do is enter student names and scores.
Let me know if this works for you. I've never had an unhappy customer, so if we can't get it to work for you I will research to see if there's a way to get you your money back.
Sorry for the hassle,
Joell
