Great idea! I only wish the worksheet ten frames were lined up vertically like the bug jar. Some of my visual learners would have benefited from it. Otherwise, love it!

I don't understand how you could have bought this at 7:17 and left a 3 for feedback at 7:18. You could not have even downloaded it in that amount of time. Do you always buy products that you feel are not good quality? If you have a problem with the unit, or if it is not to your liking it is much better to give feedback about what you would like improved instead of wink (which I don't understand either) and a 3.

Will you be creating a fraction or time unit for common core?

Sara McHale (TpT Seller) re: Second Grade Summer Skills Review Packet
are the dates changeable for those AZ schools who let out on May 24th and return on Aug 8th?
February 19, 2013
Julie Gesin (TpT Seller)
There are 2 versions. One that has a date from June until August and another with no dates at the top. I made the one without the dates for schools that needed something other than June-August. I will be updating them (it is on the to-do list) to include a couple weeks of May dates this year because we get out in May as well. So you would be able to download an updated version then. :). Hope that helps!

Rachael Fox (TpT Seller) re: Common Core Math Word Problems
Did you include a lot of 2 step word problems in this product? I am looking for a product that has lots of practice in that since that is the area my first graders are weak in.
January 25, 2013
Julie Gesin (TpT Seller)
It has missing number and 3 digit addition, but they are all one step. Sorry.

I have purchased the Common Core Geometry Fun with Shapes and have realized when I printed out the "My shape book" I realized that the common core standards for GA are different. The shapes we cover are rectangle, square, trapezoid, triangles, half circle and quarter circle. Would you be willing to change the book? I am happy to pay you to change it for me.

I just downloaded the Rockin' Reindeer Research and on pages 5 and 10, predator is misspelled. I love the concept of the packet. It looks great other than the typo.

Thanks! I will fix it and redownload it this morning!
UPDATE: It is all fixed and uploaded! Thanks for letting me know!

Kristy Spradlin (TpT Seller) re: Apples and the Common Core
Thank you for sharing your apple unit! It's great, but I think there is a typo on page 25. It says, "A gave my friend ____ apples." Should it say, "I gave my friend..."? Just wanted to let you know!

tonipeterson re: Show me the MONEY! Money Word Problems for the Common Core!
I love this, but I teach 3rd grade. We have to know how to add and subtract money amounts from $5.00. Do you happen to have a similar unit with these types of questions?
September 6, 2012
Julie Gesin (TpT Seller)
I don't yet, but it wouldn't take much to change things up to make it that way. I will look at the standard and I can have it up by Sunday. Thanks!
UPDATE! I am almost finished with a more difficult version for older students, but I still need to proof them. They will be up this week! :) Thanks!

Hello,
I am writing you in regards to the Teacher Appreciation Jack Pot. I made a huge error. I was so excited on Sunday I spent hours and hours on a very slow computer going to every site that participated. I might have looked around a bit and became a follower. I was so inspired by all of you bloggers. Anyways, I went to every single site and added the TPA Freebie to my wishlist because the computer I was on has a virus and was not cooperating. SSSLLLOOOWWW!!!! So I thought if I just add it to my wish list on Monday morning I will download them on my school computer where I do all or most of my school work anyway. I was so excited I woke up super early so I could get to school and download them. Come to find out you had to pay for them. I wanted to cry. I emailed tpt and when they finally got back to me they said unfortunately there was nothing they could do. I was suppose to download them. I don’t recall ever reading that anywhere but I am very new to all of this. They said I had to email each one of you individually. Yes, then and there I just about started to cry. I had 120 items I added to my wishlist. I was on the computer all day Sunday doing this.
I am just wondering if you would be so kind to email or what ever you have to do so that I can download your freebie. I thought I would try! Thank you for your creative inspiring blog!!

I thought this was a Teacher Appreciation Sunday Lucky Day freebie. It is only 11 pm here and it is showing that it is on sale but not a freebie. Any chance of still getting this math sort activity?

I was trying to comment on your blog but it would not let me even after I join your blog and you didn't have an email posted
Hi,
I just found you through Tpt and now I am a new follower
I would love for you to visit my blog and follow me too
ON Tpt you asked for suggestions for a blog
I would look into changing the layout of your blog. It is off centered and move your followers button closer to the top so that it will be easier to find.
It looks like you have your widgets at the bottom of the page if you move them to the side they will do wonders
I also do a blog feature on my blog every week and that might help you bring more attention to your blog

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Teaching has always been in my heart. I have been teaching for the past 18 years and have experience in teaching grades 1-5. I have taught multi-age and looping classrooms as well as traditional classes. I have been lucky that 15 years of my experience has included first grade which is my first love! I am a member of the International Society of Technology Education and a Promethean Board user.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I believe that every child should be taught at a level that will ensure their greatest success. I believe in differenciated, small group instruction and the use of technology to enhance student engagement and learning. Most of my lessons include some kind of engaging hook or hands on activity. My classroom is child-centered and I am working on learning and integrating the Core Curriculum into all my lessons.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I have a B.S. from Martin Luther College and Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from National Louis University. I am a member of the International Society of Technology Education. I have taken many post Master's classes and workshops in differenciation, technology, and standards based education.
