Thanks for your feedback. I will take this into consideration and think about making that change. When I marked it fifth grade, I was thinking in terms of 5th grade ELL students with basic English skills. Your suggestion has me rethinking this!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
lisa422 re: Hollywood classroom job descriptions
Are you able to customize jobs for me? I really love your work, but one of your pages has your name on it. That won't work for my class. ;) Plus, I there are others that I would like changed a bit to fit the needs of my class. Are you able to do that? I already purchased this item.
May 22, 2013
joy weiss (TpT Seller)
absolutely, I can work that out! If you email me the items you purchase with what you want changed I will be happy to make the corrections and adjustments you need. I can usually turn a item around within 24 hours or less. My email address is leapfrog2025@yahoo.com, just put tpt in the re box. Will that work for you. Also, send me the job descriptions changes you want with your email and I will get that to you. Does that work for you?

xlopez re: A STar is Born-monthly headers
Are they editable? I teach in a dual language school and would like to add the spanish names for the months on the headers.
April 23, 2013

Currently they are not editable; however if you send me your email, I can send you the word document or I can add the names for you and send it that way

Smartteacher11 re: Prefix and Suffix MisMatch
I love this, but for my ELL students the font might be a challenge. Would I be able to change the font? I'd also buy them if you did one for prefixes and one for suffixes : )
December 23, 2012
joy weiss (TpT Seller)
Hi Smartteacher11,
Yes you can change the font. it is a smart notebook program, so it is easy to change fonts. I teach ELL and they did well with the font, but depending on your ELL levels it might create some challenges. both prefixes and suffixes are in the same set! Hope that answers your question. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I used active inspire to import the notebook files, but it was still being weird with the type. I would appreciate if you would email it to me. Cannot wait to use with my students. My email is michelle.craig@bossierschools.org. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

mlcraig25 re: Common Core Subtraction with Regrouping
I downloaded the fonts from KevinandAmanda.com. Which fonts did you use from dafont.com? I have not had any luck when opening either of the notebook files. The font is all over the place. It did change slightly once I downloaded font from Kevin and Amanda, but both are still not useable. Also, word document is scrambled. Can you please send the documents in an email or another format? I would like to have quickly. Thank you!
November 28, 2012
joy weiss (TpT Seller)
I'm so sorry to hear that you are having issues. The fonts in the original files were socially awkward from KevinandAmanda and Yikes from Dafont. I have revised the word document and put it into a pdf file that should work with no problem. As for the notebook files, if you have smart board software, the smartbook revised file should be your best bet if you have kevinandamanda fonts. I'd be happy to email this to you if you don't wish to redownload. Please send your email and I will email as soon as I recieve it! Again I am very sorry you have run into problems. I try to use common fonts from other sites beyond microsoft to keep it cute but functional for all users. Keep me posted. I want you to be satisfied and will do whatever necessary to ensure you can use what you have purchased!

Hello Joy! I just purchased "The Talent Show" and most of the words (especially in the headings) are coming up as symbols. What font did you use? If you could help me I would appreciate it.

joy weiss (TpT Seller)
Hi Ashley, I'm sorry about this. Over the last few weeks, I've realized that my power points have fonts that are not part of the standard set of Microsoft. Talent Show uses waterfalls by KevinandAmanda.com/fonts which is a free font site. One thing to try is to enable editing and change the font on the slides to what you have. It should come out fine. Please let me know immediately if you continue to have problems. I will immediately send you the power point in standard microsoft font. After this realization, I have been more vigilant in posting the fonts used or posting in regular fonts. hope that helps.

Hi Joy...I purchased the -all word family smartboard unit, however, it came to me as the -ail word family unit. I would appreciate your help in getting the -all unit to me. Thank you!

Hi Kelli,
I'm so sorry! I checked into that product and although the correct attachment was in my profile, what comes up isn't. I have fixed the product. Please send me your email and I will be happy to forward you the all family. Or you can re-download the product with the corrected version. Please let me know if it works if that is the option you choose. I'm very embarrassed and I appreciate you letting me know.

jroger01 re: Jack and Rick-A Trophies Story
Can I use this with a mimio? Does it have to be a smartboard?
September 13, 2012
joy weiss (TpT Seller)
That is a great question and I'm not positive on the answer; however, I believe that yes it should. If you want, I'd be happy to send you the file for free and allow you to see if it works. This would allow you to have information on whether it would work and benefit your students. then you would be able to select other smart board products with confidence!

sam532 re: PLACE VALUE-An Envisions math Lesson
Do you know if this will work with Promethium Board Software?
September 6, 2012
joy weiss (TpT Seller)
I have used both smart notebook and promethium software on my smart board and I know that smart notebook also works on promethian boards. I believe the biggest issue is whether you have the software installed. If you send me your email, I will be happy to send you the lesson free of charge and you can try it out and see. If it works, great! if not, you'll know for future items. :) please let me know.

wizbef4 re: Visitors From Space-A Trophies Anthology
I am having trouble opening the powerpoint for Visitors from Space that I purchased. I was able to open the other powerpoints I purchased from you, but this didn't open. Does this file open in something other than Microsoft Powerpoint?
August 13, 2012
joy weiss (TpT Seller)
It should open in power point, that is how it was created. I would delete the file and download it again from your purchases tab. If that still doesn't resolve your issue, please send me your email and I will make sure you get the power point from me. I'm sorry you are having troubles and I will do what is necessary to ensure you get your product.
