I LOVE the idea of it being on the smartphone background since most of my students live to text and watch goofy YouTube vidoes. I might suggest to them to think what a picture of the poem would look like if it was posted on Facebook or Instagram. The only thing I might change is adding a few small illustrations along with the text of the poems. Some of my intensive readers might need a few visuals to get them on the right track to create their own mental images.

AlyceAnne re: First Grade Common Core Pacing Guide
I bought this pacing guide today. It is amazing, I love it. I wonder if you could send me the editable version? You mention that you could in the description.

kimbellkristen re: Character & Setting Common Core Activity For Fairy Tales
I purchased both the Character & Setting Common Core Activity For Fairy Tales and the Story Elements for Fairy Tales thinking they were two different sets:( I realize that they are the same thing, now that I printed them out. It is only a $1.60, so I am not worried about it, but you might want to make sure they have the same title so that someone else doesn't purchase them both. I really was excited to see that someone had already created activities to go with the Fractured Fairy Tale set:)

Kim Short (TpT Seller)
Hi! I am sorry about that! I thought when you add a product and it says create a similar listing, it meant you can add the same product and call it something different for search purposes! I meant to change it and haven't got that done yet! My email is dkdkk@iowatelecom.net. Please email me with another product you would like and I will email it to you for free. Again, I am sorry for the confusion!

Are these two per sheet like pictured or do you print one per page? Is the size expandable as well or just number and name?

They are two per sheet. The tshirts and number and name are editable so you could make them as big or small as you want. Thank you for your interest!
