This is a great little novel unit. It covers such a wide variety of skills. It will be great to use with my third graders next year. Thank you for a great quality product.
Wonderful resource to give to parents to work with their students at home. It also gives demonstrations if parents are not familiar with the processes.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. It covers ELA standards, as well as fun and interesting for the students. Thank you for sharing! So glad I found you on TPT!
I'm so happy to have come across this activity packet!
It encompasses all of the skills the students were exposed to and they're aligned to the common core.
Love this! Found one typo...Thursday Summer Fun Week 10 says What instead of Write, but product is outstanding! Can't wait to share it with the kids when the school year ends!!!
This packet has become a life-saving dream come true at the end of the year. I feel like I am reviewing everything that needed to be taught for the year and I am doing it in an organized and clearly labeled way. I absolutely love these worksheets and that they say the standard and objective on each page. Thanks so much! A MUST purchase!!
Wow! I'll be using this as a review this next week and as a guide next year to keep me on track. It is quite extensive. I really appreciate all of your work!

Hi,
I was wondering if I purchase this if it is editable. It is for my special ed kids who need room for enlarged writing. Thanks,
Jessie
I will send it to you if you email me at katieknox36@aol.com. The only problem is you would have to install the font I used or fix the formatting. The formatting will be off with a different font.

Sorry, I just saw another little one: On Thursday, Summer Fun week 10, the example sentence says 356 – 300 + 50 + 6.
Sorry about that...they are both fixed. You can redownload.

On Thursday, Summer Fun week 1, the directions say, "Write each number below is word form." Shouldn't it say "Write each number below IN word form"? Thanks!

Hi Katie,
I purchased your 1st Grade Math Common Core Assessment Mega Pack. I love the assessments! However, I need to follow my district blueprints and I don’t teach each standard all at once. I actually wanted to cut and paste a few of the questions together so I can give the assessment as pre/post tests every quarter. Is there any way I could have an electronic copy (other than a pdf) of the assessment so I can cut and paste it to match my school’s curriculum map?
taralogan re: 2nd Grade Common Core ELA Assessment Mega Pack
I just printed your packet and there is a problem with pages 14 and 15. The standard and name/date lines for page 15 are at the bottom of page 14. I see that others have also had this issue. All other pages are fine. Please send out those two pages or update the file so we can print them.
Thanks
It's fixed now, you can redownload, sorry about that!

Hi Katie- The PDF file that I download in your 2nd Grade Common Core ELA Assessment Mega Pack doesn't load right on pages 14 and 15. It's just a minor thing-- the student name line and standards box for page 15 is at the bottom of page 14. I wasn't sure if it was an Adobe issue on my computer at home but it downloads like that on my computer at school as well. If it's not an Adobe issue on my end, something you can fix, can you please send me just those two pages? cmwiist@gmail.com. Thanks a bunch! :)
In the document you will find both the assessments as well as the answer key. The first portion of the document is the assessments followed by the answer key. The pages that say "student answers will vary" are in the answer key portion. Look at the beginning of the document for the matching student assessments.

kelsey522h re: 2nd Grade Common Core ELA Assessment Mega Pack
I got your 2nd grade ELA mega pack, and the math mega packs for 1st and 2nd - I was wondering if you have an ELA one for 1st grade? Your one for 2nd is the best one I've seen and I got it for my accelerated students, but since I teach 1st, I'd love to have one for my grade level if you have one or are putting one together. Thanks!
Kelsey
Unfortunately not but it is on my summer to do list so please check back!! :)

Britt24 (TpT Seller) re: Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh, Novel Study
A commenter said that it was great for her third graders. Would it be too easy for 5th graders at a higher reading level? (Level V book for Fountas and Pinnell). Thanks!
I think it would work well for an average group of 5th graders. If you want to see the file, you can email me at Katieknox36@aol.com and I'll send it to you. If you want to use it, you can go back and purchase it. Hope that helps!

Hi,
My students love the packet, but there were a few errors. On the chapter 5 sheet, question #2 has a mistake. On the chapter 7 sheet, question #5 lists the wrong page number. It should be 141 (please check).
I will check this and fix the errors, thanks for letting me know!!

ashley58926 re: Amelia Bedelia Novel Study
I am looking for a guide that goes along with the Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish book that I have, but I am not sure if it is the same one as yours. The title is Amelia Bedilia but it is an I Can Read book, level 2. Is this the book that goes along with this unit?
Hi Ashley - I think this is the same title but I am not 100% sure. If you want, you can email me at katieknox36@aol.com & I'll send you the file. If it's the right one and you want to use it, you can go back and purchase it.

Hi Amy - unfortunately I don't but it's on my todo list so check back!

Franne Berenberg (TpT Seller) re: Ramona Quimby, Age 8 Novel Study
Hi, I wanted to let you know that on the Chapter 3 page, there are a couple of mistakes. You left out a word in the directions, and on the bottom where the directions are for the comic strip, there was another error there. I forgot what it was as I left it in school. I wanted to let you know so you can correct it. I didn't realize it either but my class did! They had a lot of fun with the activity though!
There is just one assessment per common core strand (one for each of the 4 math strands) so they don't get progressively harder.
They could be used in any capacity but in my classroom I use them as pre and post assessments. You could use them this way or use them quarterly, either way would work fine! Hope this answers your question.

Hi Katie,
I wasn't able to download Freckle Juice Novel Study. I was able to download Dinosaurs Before Dark:)
That's odd. Your best bet is to contact TPT support, in the meantime email me at katieknox36@aol.com and I'll send it to you!

Kim Pugno (TpT Seller) re: Dinosaurs Before Dark (Magic Tree House #1) Novel Study
Do you use these unit studies whole group or in smaller reading groups? I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to do novel studies and reading groups.
Both - sometimes I use them in reading groups but if I have enough copies of the book I will also use some of the units whole class. I plan to use Holiday Harry & the Holidaze whole class because it's also a good book to teach Holidays Around the World. Some of the novel studies that are more difficult I will only use with my higherer readers. Really, you could do it either way - whichever works for you! :)

Kim Pugno (TpT Seller) re: Spelling Homework Folder
It's my first year teaching 2nd grade. I came down from 3rd grade. My 2nd grade team is not very organized or willing to share. I really miss my 3rd grade peeps/team!!! I've been following you and purchasing many of your products. Great stuff! Do you assign weekly spelling words that accompany these packets?
Hi Kim - Yes I do, we don't use our basil much (Scott Foresman) but do use the spelling words from this series. I like them because the lists of words each focus on a different spelling pattern. I think there is a website that you can find these words on. If you need them, email me at katieknox36@aol.com & I'll try and help!

bpape re: 2nd Grade Common Core Math Assessment Mega Pack
I am looking at the Number and Operations in Base Ten (2.NBT) Student Summary page and I'm wondering if there should be a mastery box for 2.NBT.9. There are fact family questions for this standard in the packet, but not on the mastery summary page. Thanks!
do you have a mega pack for language arts for first grade?
October 18, 2012
msjfrizzle re: 2nd Grade Common Core Math Assessment Mega Pack
Am I reading the problem wrong, or is there an error in the answer key? The middle problem on the 2.OA.1 page gives three numbers of books read by 3 kids, but the answer is only the sum of two of them. I've only given the first 2 sections to my kids, so I haven't gone over the rest of the assessment.
Even though we're less than halfway through, I am finding this to be VERY helpful for a quick snapshot of where the kids are in their learning. I'm a resource teacher of gifted, and I usually don't have many second graders, so I REALLY struggled with what to do with them. This assessment is showing me exactly what to teach!

Erin Hennessey (TpT Seller) re: 2nd Grade Common Core Math Assessment Mega Pack
Hi! Are these assessments broken down by each standard? You said that there are 4 assessments.... I am looking for something that breaks it down by standard since our district has paced the standards differently.
Hi Katie,
I bought your 2nd Grade Common Core Summer Pack. Since my son was in my class last year, we have been working through it this summer. Usually, I would just flip through it and send it with the kids, but get to read every word with my son this year. I found a place that needs a little editing. Week 2, Tuesday, the last problem. It does not change the value of the product at all, I love it! I just would want someone to let me know if they found a typo in one of my products. I hope this is helpful. Do you want me to let you know if I find anything else? Again, not a complaint at all. This is a wonderful product.
Thank you so much for letting know! You know when you make something you read it a million times and still miss a few!! If you find anything else, I'd appreciate you letting me know, thanks for offering. You can get in touch with me through TPT or my email is: katieknox36@aol.com. Thanks again!

susankatt re: 2nd Grade Common Core Math Assessment Mega Pack
I love your test. Did you use this as a pretest at the beginning and then a posttest?
Thank you! Yes, that's how I've used it. I pre-tested early in the year and just finished giving it as a post-test. I liked using it as a pre-test because it helped me plan my instruction and the comparison between the pre and post tests helped me to see their growth. Good luck!

Katie,
Re: 2nd Grade CC summer pack/ This might just be what I was looking for. I know you have the standards down for the Common Core(sorry I also didn't look this up; we are starting to implement next year) ..............but I am just wondering how much addition/subtraction(1,2, or 3 digit with and without regrouping ) you include in the packet? I have been searching and searching for a simple packet second graders can take home for the summer.
Thanks!
