I would actually like my money back for this purchase. All sheets had sample printed across them! So you can not use them and there were only four sheets. Rediculous for the price!
May 15, 2013
Katie Hoss (TpT Seller)
Hi Amy, please make sure you have unzipped all the files after you download the product. I think you only have opened the sample and "how to use" document. There should be two folders in the download, labeled "rosters" and "planners", inside each folder are all the different CCSS for Math. Please let me know if this does still not work for you and I will email you the files directly. Thank you for your purchase!

Also liked the cut-apart-word sentences. My kids have a hard time with the spaces between words concept!

Katie,
I love your products. I have ordered your synonym and antonym pack, nouns, adjectives, and verbs. I was wondering if you might consider adding Proper nouns to your noun packet? Also, on some of the posters that compare items such as the past and present poster in your verb pack some of the words have uppercase letters and some of the words have lowercase letters. I was wondering if this could be changed so they were all lowercase. This is also true in the noun pack that has the different kinds of nouns. Just a thought!

Thanks for the input and for being a loyal buyer! I will keep these suggestions in mind when I update some of my products over the summer. If you would like email me at creativeclassroomlessons@gmail.com and I can send you my plural noun pack or another item you would like for free for being such a loyal buyer! Thanks!

kidzreadingteach re: Rhyming Cut and Paste with the Cat
Hi Would you be willing to bundle your rhyming activities? Will you be participating in the sales this weekend?
Thanks,
Thanks,
March 30, 2013
Katie Hoss (TpT Seller)
I just signed up for the sale, so all my items should now be 20% off. I have been on Spring break this week, so I didn't even realize so many sellers were doing a sale this weekend, thanks! Which rhyming activities would you like together? A lot of them use the same rhyming clipart I have, so I don't want to bundle them together, since a lot of them are the same pictures, just have different "themes", so I wouldn't want to mislead buyers if they thought they were all different. But if you purchase one of the packs, just email me at creativeclassroomlessons@gmail.com and let me know which ones you purchased, and which ones you would like, I will email one free one for every pack you purchase. Does that make sense? I'm all about free stuff for loyal buyers, thanks!

Lizlong re: Sight Word Folder-Portable Word Wall
Hi Kate,
I love this idea and would like to buy this, but at our school we have so many sight words that are a part of our reading program. I don't think your design has enough lines for the words. Do you include extra space for additional words?
Thank You,
Liz

Most letter boxes have 7 lines, a few have 5, and U, V, Y, and Z have 3. The way way I set it up is to put the first page on the front of the file folder, then the next two pages on the inside of the file folder. That would still leave the back for additional words. I then laminate the entire folder. I hope that helps!

littlefingers12 re: Reading Day Bingo!
Katie I bought your Dr. Seuss Read Bingo and there were several problems. First there are not 20 different cards there are really only 10 because they are just duplicates. Second, two of the cards the free space is not on the correct place. Third, two cards have two of the same pictures on the same card. So really there are only 7 cards that you can use. Everything else that I have bought from you has been great.
March 8, 2013
Katie Hoss (TpT Seller)
Sorry to hear that! When did you download it? There is a new version, completely different clip art, uploaded about 2 weeks ago, please download the new one, hope that helps!

Ms. Hoss I am not sure why my laptop at home would not print out the oobleck activity I purchased. I do have the latest version of Adobe. At any rate, I brought it up at school and got it printed. The kids loved the project. Thanks.

Debbie Ashby (TpT Seller) re: Matter-Oobleck, Explore States of Matter Experiment
I purchased this product today and cannot get it to print. Any suggestions?
March 3, 2013
Katie Hoss (TpT Seller)
First, make sure you have the newest version of adobe reader. If it does not work, you can email me at creativeclassroomlessons@gmail.com and I can try to email it to you directly, but it will still have to be a pdf to keep the same fonts.

skozikowski re: Rhyming Cut and Paste with the Cat
I notcied that you added other rhyming pages! Great fun! Is it available in color?
February 28, 2013
Katie Hoss (TpT Seller)
Sorry, I do not have it in color, I chose to use the black and white clipart since I figured most people would be photocopying class sets, and the black and white copies better. The same rhyming clipart I used in black and white, are in color in my rhyming word cards center if that helps!

Sorry it took so long to reply, I just saw this question. Unforntunetly, I do not have all the clipart that goes with these words.

Hi Gina, I just looked it up on the website I got it from, and it says it is currently unavailable. When I got it, it was on clearance for only $1! The website is acherryontop.com, if you look at their digital kits, and search by price, they have a ton of cute ones for pretty cheap. Hope that helps!

Hi Katie, Trying to purchase your preschool community helpers game and will not let me unless I spend $3.oo but your game is $2.00. Can you let me know how to resolve? Thanks K. Smith
February 7, 2013
Katie Hoss (TpT Seller)
To make a purchase on TPT, your amount has to be at least 3.00 to check out, I think that is site policy. So I think you would need to buy something else for 1.00, then the site will let you check out. Or that community helpers game is included in my 7.00 community helpers unit, then you can get the game and a lot more for your community helper topic. I hope that helps!

Jacqueline Engels (TpT Seller) re: Adjectives Unit- Using Adjectives in Writing- Based on Common Core
Yes, I guess I'm trying to take this huge unit, and condense it into a 5 day mini unit on powerful language. I was wondering, what your assessment is along the way?
January 19, 2013
Katie Hoss (TpT Seller)
I see, I am not sure if I have any suggestions of cutting down to five days, I have always taught it in about 8-10 days. For assessment, and this is just how I assess during all my writing lessons, I have a clipboard with a chart with all the students' names on it, each student has a square where I can take notes on, then during conferencing during writing time, I can do mini-lessons that apply to the individual student. I hope that helps!

Jeannie Bradham (TpT Seller)
I am new to Common Core but have taught for years. I always teach antonyms...but where is it in Common Core. Can you help? I love your antonyms unit! Look forward to hearing from you.
December 9, 2012
Katie Hoss (TpT Seller)
Hi Jeannie, I always touch on synonyms, antonyms, and homophones in almost all grades, since I teach K-5 ESL students. There are only a few places that the CCSS specifically mention anytonyms, which in my opinion do not match when most teachers address them. On the CCSS antonyms are only mentioned in K, 4, and 5. See Below:
Kinder:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.K.5b Demonstrate understanding of frequently occurring verbs and adjectives by relating them to their opposites (antonyms).
Grade 4:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.4.5c Demonstrate understanding of words by relating them to their opposites (antonyms) and to words with similar but not identical meanings (synonyms).
Grade 5:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.5.5c Use the relationship between particular words (e.g., synonyms, antonyms, homographs) to better understand each of the words.
In my antonyms unit, I have some more general CCSS language standards listed which I think would include antonyms. See Below:
Grade 1:
Vocabulary Acquisition and Use
L.1.5. With guidance and support from adults, demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships and nuances in word meanings.
Grade 2:
Vocabulary Acquisition and Use
L.2.4. Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grade 2 reading and content, choosing flexibly from an array of strategies.
Grade 3:
Knowledge of Language
L.3.3. Use knowledge of language and its conventions when writing, speaking, reading, or listening.
I hope that helps!

Hi Katie,
I am interesed in purchasing your states of matter unit in my 1st grade class. In the descriptions, you write that its good for 2nd and above. Do you think it can be adapted to my little ones? Also, I see there are a few experiments included. Can you tell me what the oreo one is all about?
Thanks so much!

November 7, 2012
Katie Hoss (TpT Seller)
Yes, I think it would definently work for first, I should actually change the description. If you read the comments on the unit, there were three people that said their first graders enjoyed it, there was even a comment that the sort was great for kinder! There are a lot of visuals in this unit (since I use it with ELL students) so I think it would be great for first. I think I originally put it down as second and above becuase of the students I specifically work with. I teach in a low income school city school and teach only ELL students. The oreo one is pretty basic, you basically talk about how chocolate can change from the three different states of matter (you start with a block of chocolate, melt it, and dip the oreos in it, freeze them and watch it turn to a solid again) Then you practice writing the steps using first, next, last... You could easily adapt it by providing a word bank with words like evaporate, steam, etc..

mlmoreno re: Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives-Parts of Speech Bundle
Just wanted to let you know there were no word cards to go with one of the plural noun categories (ends with y) so I had to make my own to do the sorting. You also have listed on the "plural noun rules" sheet LIES as being a plural noun under the "ends with y" category which is incorrect. Also, on one of the cards it should be tooth instead of the plural form teeth. I've only gotten through the noun portion of the bundle pack. Not sure I would pay $10 again.
September 28, 2012

Thank you for noticing those. I will look through the packet and let you know when it is updated.

Do you have 5th grade common core science standards in a printable version? In not, do you know where I can get them?
September 9, 2012
Katie Hoss (TpT Seller)
I think the only official CCSS are for English Language Arts and Math right now. According to the FAQ on the CCSS website http://www.corestandards.org/frequently-asked-questions
It says that they are working on content standards. They listed this site as the people that are working on the Science standards.
http://www.nextgenscience.org/
I teach in WI and we have only adopted the ELA and Math Standards. Hope that helps!

There are 24 word cards (for 12 pairs) Those can be used as one center, it has a recording sheet included. Also included in the unit are a step by step introduction lesson, a poster to hang with the definition of homophones, an activity or center with sheets called "Brown Bag Homophones" , a printable to make a class homophones book, and a list of several other homophones activities to do as a whole class or centers. The unit is 19 pages all together. Hope that helps!

Hi Pamela,
I actually just use Microsoft Word(which I recieved a free copy of from my district), and then I convert to pdf before I post it. I just started in this year, so I haven't really had a chance to experiment more with other programs. I hear a lot of people find powerpoint easier to use than word. If you go to the forums and search powerpoint, I think there are instructions on there somewhere. Hope that helps!

If you go to the forums and search powerpoint, I think there are instructions on there somewhere. Hope that helps!

Katie, I have a black and white printer and when I printed this document the colors came out really light. I have been trying to adjust it but because its a PDF, I am having trouble. Can you provide it in black and white for me? Thank you, Missy Conrad

I don't know how I could change it to black and white, it was originally in word format, unless you knwo of a setting I don't? If you send me your email, I could send you the word document instead of the pdf, would that help?

Wow, thank you! Those are topics I cover with my 4k and 5K ELL students, so I can see what I can come up with, it might be a bit though. I told my fiance I would take a break from TPT and get back to wedding planning, lol!

missjvb re: Verb Activity Pack-Meets Common Core Standards
I purchased this, and when I downloaded, all text came out as black bars. Any suggestions?

That is strange, I haven't had anyone else who purchased this unit say anything. I looked it up on the forums, here were the suggestions:

If those suggestions do not work, email me back with your email address and I can send it to you via email and see if that works. I'll keep checking my email to make sure it gets resolved.

Hi Katie! Love this OOBLECK activity! Wanted to let you know I'm going to add a link to this from my blog tonight! :) I did this today with my students and they had so much fun! Thank you!

Awesome! We did this a few days ago too! It was so fun! I sometimes do it around Dr. Seuss's B-day or as part of my Solids, Liquids and Gases unit. If you want to try another fun one, try the Solids, Liquids and Gases with Oreos! If you want send me your email and I will send it to you for free, for the link on your blog!

I use google alert. It notifies me if and when my store name comes up somewhere else. By having my name on each page, it safeguards me somewhat as google will pick that up.

Wow, great advise, thanks so much! I'll have to check that out!

I saw your posting on the Sellers Forum page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. What is there is well done and colorful, but a potential buyer wants a full product. Remember, this freebie represents your whole store. You want your freebie to be top quality! I learned this the hard way when I first started. My first freebie was really awful and I am glad some seasoned buyers pointed out to me the importance of having one that is high quality.

Thanks for the advise, it will be very useful! I'll maybe put the entire set of reading posters on there, or maybe pick a new product. I have been meaning to put the copyright on my products as well, thanks! Is there any particular sites that people are reposting the stolen material on that I should watch out for?

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I am a 4k-5th grade ELL(English Language Learner) teacher. Many of my students begin school with no English speaking, reading, or writing abilities. With such a wide range of ages and abilties, it is hard to find a variety of materials. I love creating my own visual activities! (a must for ELL students) I enjoy creating materials that I can tailor to the individual students.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I love doing hands-on activities. I try to design my lessons, so not only will the students remember the lesson, it will be memorable!
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
I recently have been named a 2012 Teacher or Distinction by Partners in Education and the Green Bay Chamber of Commerce.
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I began my classes while I was in the Military onboard my Navy ship. While out to sea I was able to complete some basic courses. I continued by general Education courses in San Diego. After leaving the Military I completed my teaching degree requirements at the University of WI-Stevens Point. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science, certified in Elementary-Middle School and Teaching English as a Second Language.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I currrently live in Green Bay, WI. Go Pack! I have been teaching in Green Bay for five years as an English as a Second Language teacher, and I really love my job and the awesome students I get to work with! When not busy teaching, I am also planning my wedding for this summer, to my wonderful fiance, Nick.
