Laurie Carpenter (TpT Seller) re: Jan Brett Author Study with Kindergarten & 1st grade Common Core Alignment
Hi Karen....I am just getting ready to publish some of my lesson plans as an art teacher. Many of my best creative lessons started with a story from a book....like Clifford or Eric carl. All I did was read the story, discuss, and let the students creativity take over. We did NOT copy the pictures. We did a take off on the book.
I noticed you used a specific author in one of your units. Did you have to get copy rite permission or am I being too nervous or hesitant about this whole trade mark/copy rite situation. I am anxious to start, but do not want to spin my wheels in an area that will get me in trouble right off the bat. Thanks, Laurie Carpenter @ lauriecarpe@yahoo.com

Hi Laurie! Book titles or character names cannot be copyrighted, so you are permitted to use them in a product (there are some exceptions though like Seuss and Pete the Cat...I also think Eric Carle is off limits but you will want to check his website for sure). You can not use images from a book or book covers. There is some good information out there for sellers if you look on your dashboard under information & resources. You will find lots of copyright info by reading through the seller newsletter archive. Hope that helps!

Is this packet totally different from Building Blends & Digraphs {Magnetic Letter Center}?
Thanks
April 20, 2013
Karen Jones (TpT Seller)
Hi! Yes! The Blends Bundle is for L, R, and S blends (no digraphs) and for each blend there are 6 different centers + more options for differentiation. There is an intro activity for each blend plus sorts, graphing, anchor charts, & centers with recording sheets. They would definitely work really well together though! (I am using the Blends Bundle materials along with the magnetic letter center in my classroom for centers). Let me know if you'd like me to clarify further! :)

catnorthcott re: Primarily Plants: A Science, Math, & Literacy Unit for K and 1
Hi Karen,
Thank you so much for all of your beautiful work! I always get so excited when I see your name on the posting! My question is, how do you organize all of your lessons? Do you file them in folders, use binders, totes or hanging bags? I started to use hanging bags, but it is becoming a little out of control. I've bought book-sized bags from the Dollar Spot at Target and have sorted books with lessons in each bag. I then have marked the bag with a tag, put a shower curtain ring on each bag and hang them on a 2-barred wardrobe rack (at home - I'm a reading specialist and have a tiny office at school). I'm just wondering what you have found to be the best way to manage all of the pieces, parts, etc. Thank You! Cathy

Karen Jones (TpT Seller)
Hi Cathy! Thanks so much, I really appreciate your kind words. For short term, I have all of my centers set up in plastic baskets (dollar tree) with the small pieces in either ziplock baggies or cups. I have a nice long 2-tiered shelf that can hold about 10 baskets.
For long term-- I only store the laminated stuff (reusable pieces. etc.) in gallon ziplock baggies and those are stored in folders in a filing cabinet. This is not the best because the folders can only hold so much and the larger stuff gets bent. I think at the end of the year I am going to try to reorganize my materials like a colleague of mine does--using large plastic totes that are labeled with the unit/month and keep all of the materials in there. The paper copy stuff I do not keep-- I have everything saved in separate folders on my computer, organized by subject/season/theme. So when I am planning I go into my computer first and print off a master copy of whichever activity I want. Then pull the baggies from my files. I can't imagine having to keep things at home year round! Anyway, I hope this helps! Maybe we can reorganize together! Let me know if you get a great idea! :)
Thanks,
Karen

Hi Ms. Jones,
I'd like to know if by chance you've created a "dictionary" of the pre-primer and pre-primer sight words. I am looking for something similar to a dictionary (booklet) but with the pre-primer, primer and possibly first grade sight words in alphabetical order. I have my sight words on my word wall but I'd like to have a booklet of the sight words for my students to use at their table when they need help spelling the word. Thanks

Can you reply back under ask a question again and leave your email? I can email it to you, then I will delete your post with the email. Thanks for your purchase!

Hi Karen,
I really love this set! The only problem is I teach in Australia and our writing font is different. If I buy this set, is there any way you could send me the set in word format so that I could change the font?
Thanks

Hi Sharon! Unfortunately because of Clipart licenses and terms of use, I cannot send it in word format or I would be violating the artist's terms of use. I would be happy to change the font for you and email it to you. Please email me at karenjones02@gmail.com and let me know the font you would like to change it to. Thanks!

Meredith McMackins (TpT Seller) re: Sight Word Construction Mats {Dolch Primer Words}
Hi! I was wondering if you would consider selling both the pre-primer and primer units as a "package." I was just looking through the word lists, and our school teaches a mixture of words from each unit. I actually would love to purchase them today if that is possible. I know my students would love this activity as a station! Thanks!

Hi Meredith! Yes, I just put them together in a combo pack for you. Here is the link:

Are you planning on creating Common Core Christmas and Winter Activity pack for 1st grade? I know you had this question already, however I am doing some advanced planning for next year. I am purchasing several products from you for other seasons/holidays and wanted a complete set. Thanks :)
January 13, 2013
Karen Jones (TpT Seller)
Hi! Yes! I just couldn't get to them this year, however I will definitely have a Christmas and Winter pack for 1st grade by next fall. I am working on my spring common core packs for K and 1 right now and my goal is to have them finished by early February. I do want to tell you that I plan to update the Halloween and Thanksgiving packs and add a few things to each this summer.Thanks so much! :)

I love your jan Brett author study unit. Are you planning on making one for Dr. Seuss? :)
January 2, 2013
Karen Jones (TpT Seller)
Thanks so much, I am SO glad that you like the materials! Although its a wonderful idea, I am not planning to make an author study for Dr. Seuss. "The Seusses" actually forbid people from using their book titles, character names, or pictures. Technically its against their trademark to even say "Grinch" in print anywhere! They are kinda grinchy themselves :P Sorry, wish I could help! I appreciate you stopping by my store, I hope I can help you with something again in the future! :)

Could I use this for my Pre-K class.
December 29, 2012
Karen Jones (TpT Seller)
Hi! Hmm... I think the majority of the materials might be too high for Pre-K. I'm sorry, I wish I had a better answer for you! Happy New Year!

I printed the download which I really like, however the black and white version prints fairly light.

Karen Jones (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much for purchasing the center! Which graphics were light for you? If you reply back with your email address, I can darken the ones you specify and email the pages to you. I am hesitant to change the whole packet though because they print fine for me. Thanks! :)

I LOVE THIS! I plan on using it tomorrow. Would you consider making additional worksheets from 11-20. That is what my kinders seem to have the most difficulty mastering each year.
Thank you.
Thank you.
November 25, 2012
Karen Jones (TpT Seller)
Yes I sure can! I will try and add it today. So glad you like the book! *Added 11-20 :)

Hi Kimberly! Happy Thanksgiving to you too! I am SO happy that you enjoyed the common core packets.I am so sorry to say I won't have a first grade christmas packet ready for this christmas, I've just gotten so backed up working on the kindergarten projects and the vowel centers. After the new year my goal is to start putting together some Valentine's and St. Patty's day packets I hope you will like!

Very cute unit! Thank you for creating it! I'm curious as to where you got the colorful font you used for the headings? I love it!
November 19, 2012
Karen Jones (TpT Seller)
Thank you! I am so glad you are happy with it! :) The letters for the headings I bought from KPM doodles. It's not an actualy font-- its letter clipart! She does great work. I also used some of her graphics in the unit as well.

Hi- I'm a Kinder teacher and am in love with your materials! I was wondering if I could get a Christmas AND winter beginning sound sort word activity? My students loved them for Halloween and Thanksgiving and I noticed they weren't in your Christmas and winter packets. If you could email me at ejjcook@cfl.rr.com and let me know that would be great! Thanks so much!

Hi Beth! Thank you so much for purchasing my materials and I am so happy that you love them! I will try my best to work on a beginning sound sort for each, but I can't promise when they will be done by since I currently have (too many!) projects under construction. I will do my best to get at least a winter one added for you to use before the end of the year! *EDITED* to say I added a Winter S blend sort! Thanks again for your purchases! :)

Kelly Findsen (TpT Seller) re: Sight Word Books {Mega Pack} --46 Printable books for the whole school year
I purchased your Sight Words Mega Pack..I love it, but on the description it says that it includes Christmas books. I didn't see any Christmas books in the unit--I think it just skips from Thanksgiving to Winter. Could you update the file so I can re-download. Thanks so much!
November 13, 2012
Karen Jones (TpT Seller)
I am so sorry Kelly! I thought I uploaded the latest version, but I must not have. I fixed it, so you should have all 34 books now. The Christmas books are at the very end of the pack. Sorry for the inconvenience! I hope you like them.

tammyruda re: Thanksgiving Activities for 1st grade w/ ELA & Math Common Core!
Hello, I purchased the Thanksgiving activities for first grade and I had one question. What book or did you use a book for the Venn Diagram? Thank you.
November 12, 2012
Karen Jones (TpT Seller)
Hi Tammy, I used the book "Thanksgiving" by Brenda Haugen in combination with the Scholastic News/Weekly Reader. The Scholastic News along with the resources on their website are great for primary. I was apprehensive to put a link in the packet because I do not know how long it will be free to access. Here is the link to the online version you would read with your class. The Pilgrim Video will be very helpful for the Venn diagram, and the Squanto video will be useful as well. Here is the link:http://sni.scholastic.com/SN1/11_02_12_SN1
I also just updated the packet with some phrases you may want to print and use for your whole group venn diagram. I needed this for my Kinders, as it was hard for them to phrase their ideas. You can go back to "My purchases" and download the update for free. The new pages for 1st grade are 13-20. Hope that helps!

Hi! I do not have them for the other vowels... YET! They are on my to-do list though!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I am in my 10th year teaching in a public elementary school, the last 2 years teaching Kindergarten. I absolutely love, love, love this age! Prior to K, I worked as a Math intervention teacher for grades 2, 3, 4, and 5. As a child I always wanted to be a teacher. A special gift that my parents gave me when I started teaching was a framed piece of work that I had done in Kindergarten, on which my teacher wrote "When I grow up I want to be..." and after that was written "teacher" with a picture I had drawn of me as the teacher. Even in Kindergarten I knew what I was meant to do! :)
MY TEACHING STYLE
I just love when my kids and I are having fun together while learning. We sing, dance, and laugh every day. It makes learning so much more exciting! The most important thing in my mind is for the kids to go home with a smile on their face. I think my job in kindergarten is so important because it sets the tone for the rest of their educational career. I want them to know that learning is fun.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
My best honor yet? Being a mom to my 2 little munchkins! :)
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I have my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education and Special Education, as well as a Master's Degree in Childhood Education.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I live with my husband Bob and our two children Brady (4) and Reese (2). We love to travel and do anything outdoors!
