Super cute in the quick look...but after downloading your product, there are areas on the page that are blurred out. Could you please fix these areas or send me a copy another way?

Thanks for your free shape sort! I'm just wondering what you give the kids to sort. Do you give them the actual 3D shapes, or objects of those shapes? Thanks!
I would love to have your long a pack! Thanks!

vbiggs re: Animal Classification Pack- Describing 6 Animal Classes
I just purchased your pack and realized that the sentences in the Guess My Classification cards don't have a capital I at the beginning of them. I realize that this is probably an issue with the font selected, but I'm concerned that it will be confusing to my first grade students. Are you able to send me a version with the i capitalized on page 20 of the packet?
If so, my email address is vbiggs@fusd1.org.
Thank you!

Hi Ginni!
Thanks for purchasing the packet. I totally understand what you're talking about with the lowercase "i"s. I'll tell you what-- I'm off all this week for Spring Break, so let me work on it and I'll email you the updated version as soon as I finish. Have a great afternoon!

This did not download to my computer. Every page was blank. I could only see boarders on the pages. I think there is something wrong.

Just Tinkerin' Around! (TpT Seller)
Hi There!
I'm so sorry you're experiencing some technical difficulties...I'm sure that's no fun! If you wouldn't mind trying 2 things, and then if those don't work, I'll give you one more suggestion! First, make sure you have the latest Adobe viewer. I know sometimes certain files don't work well if you have an older version. Also, if you're on a Mac, try a PC. Also, it is sometimes finicky :) Finally, try scrolling all the way through to see the other pages. Some pages are "watermarked" with the red stamp, however, the other clean copies are in there too!
If that doesn't work, click up top under "My Purchases". On the top right corner, there's a box where you can contact TpT team and they can help further. Please let me know if you're still having problems later, and hopefully we can find a way to help. Thanks!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Hello Teachers! My name is Jillian, and I'm a 2nd grade teacher. I have been teaching 2nd grade for 2 years now. Before that, I've been a tutor, a substitute teacher, and a student myself! I love the classroom, and I love playing around on the computer. Creating useful tools is a knack that I have fallen into, and I might add-- it's rather fun! :)
MY TEACHING STYLE
Fun with boundaries! I'm sure after my team reads that, they'll disagree...somehow I've been tagged as the most strict in 2nd grade. I do, however, love my kiddos and love to have a good time! I enjoy everyday, and try to have fun in all lessons I teach!
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
Yet to be added
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
Graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (just a fancy name for Education!) from the University of North Texas in 2009. I came back to my home town afterwards, and I've been teaching here ever since!
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Not only can tinkering around be fun....it can also help create useful items in the classroom! Thank you to Kevin and Amanda's for some of their free font downloads! Visit their amazing site @ kevinandamanda.com for wonderful resources! Thank you to LetteringDelights.com for the licensed use of their fonts, alphabets, and clip art!
