I purchased a couple different resources from you over the past couple of weeks. I have had the chance to use them in my class with my one learner (I'm a special education teacher) and he really connects with them because they make sense! Thank you for taking the time to create such useful resources that student's can personally connect to and therefore understand and gain information/learning from! Great stuff!!

I love how practical and concrete this information is. I have worked with students who don't know these very basic "rules" in a public restroom and have gotten themselves in a little bit of hot water. this will be great to review with boys during my health/sexual health unit. Great product and very necessary!

Your store activities are by far my favorite things in your store. I think I have purchased everyone of them (or if not, I will shortly). They are thorough and comprehensive and keep students occupied the entire time. If you ever create more, you have a willing buyer right here.

I have used the circle curriculum before, but had to leave it behind in my old school district. Can't afford to get the kit but it never occured to me to recreate it, so this is a WONDERFUL resource. Yes, it isn't every piece, but it's a great start and I can build on it. Thank you so much!

Is this bundle different from the individual pages you cover on the same topic? If it is, I will purchase it. If not, I will find the ones I am missing, if any, and purchase those instead. I love your products, so I want it if it's something new. Thank you for your work!

Karen,
Those topics are exactly what I was thinking of....babysitting do's and don'ts, entertaining children with toys, books, etc, safety do's and don'ts, what to do in an emergency and maybe even feeding children safe/appropriate snacks. Thanks for considering these topics. Let me know when/if you create anything!

I do not, sorry. But, I could try to work on something. What are you thinking? Maybe something on the lines of babysitting (loosely with my kids) little brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews. How to entertain them, keep them safe, do's and do not's? I love new ideas! Working on one on using an atm and another on gift cards that someone has requested. Send me your email and I can show you what I can come up with and get your suggestions. Might take me a minute since we are winding down the year. empoweredbythem@aol.com

Michele Sekaquaptewa (TpT Seller) re: Friends Social Skills Worksheets
Hi Karen,
This is such a great idea! I am considering using it for my first graders, but some of the sheets seem a little advanced for them. I have many ELL students who might not understand everything. Do you have an editable document that I could purchase from you? OR is there a way to edit this one that you already have?

I can send it to you in PowerPoint form, you will be able to edit it from there. My kids are 18 - 22 so I can see how it could use some modifying for your little ones. Send me your email and I will send it to you.

Hi Karen. Your store rocks! I noticed in a forum you mentioned you'd been to a conference on discipline. We are looking for life skills friendly conferences and wondered if you could share where you heard about the conference? Conf virgins here. We don't know where to even begin..
February 21, 2013
Karen Covington (TpT Seller)
Hi, the conference I recently went to was called Interactive Discipline. The speaker Rick Morris was a lower grade teacher for 31 years in the San Diego area. I loved his approaches. He used a lot of music as prompts for the kids. His web site is Newmanagement.com. We have tons of workshops we can go to through my district fortunately. I also try to attend any autism conferences I can find semi-locally each year. Workability conferences are wonderful if you can find one through your state. I have been to two by this company (http://summiteducation.reachlocal.com/) The last one was on Autism, Asperger's, SPD & ADHD. Hope this helps. Karen

Elena Fryer (TpT Seller) re: Super Bowl Activity
Just FYI - There has been a lot of discussion in the forum about using other terms such as "The Big Game" since Super Bowl is a trademarked term. I know I've violated trademarks and copyrights before accidentally and it's nice to have a seller explain it to me rather than have the product removed by TPT (which is rare but it happens).

I was not aware of that. I thought making it for free would be ok. Thanks!

I really like your food pyramid graphing activity! I am a Family & Consumer Science teacher and you may not be aware of this but the food guide pyramid was actually updated last summer and replaced by "MyPlate". I was wondering if it is possible for you to do the same activity but use the MyPlate graphic is the background instead. Just google the MyPlate image or go to www.choosemyplate.gov. Thanks. Kim Graybill (TPT Customer)
June 24, 2012
Karen Covington (TpT Seller)
Thank you for the suggestion! I am new here and have been trying to post some of my older things I have been using. Actually I had no idea about "myplate". I will work on something. Most of my special ed kids are very low and it will be a little more confusing, but let me see if I can simplify it. Karen Update: I posted a new one on the food plate. "My plate cut and paste". I will still work on a graphing one, since servings and ounces are a little different, I will have to brainstorm a minute, lol. Thanks for the suggestions!

Scipi (TpT Seller)
I saw your store on the home page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. I left you a rating. Well done! Since you are new, here are a few suggestions that might help you to better market your products.
Create a cover page for each of your products which can then be used as an attractive thumbnail to entice buyers. You might also add a second page which is a directions or suggestions page for the teacher. (How do use the map? Is this a center activity? Etc.) List several ways you use this product in your classroom. Never assume that a buyer knows how, why, or when to use your product.
Use the footer to put the copyright symbol, your name and date of creation on EVERY page. 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. Finally, unless you want your Word products revised (I do for my tests) save everything in a PDF format as it is harder to change.
I know you teach special ed, so I’d appreciate your input on any of my freebies listed below. Do you think you could use some of the activities with your students?
http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Trash-to-Treasure-FREE-Activities-Lessons-Using-Recycled-Items
