Hi Kimberly: I just purchased your Community Helpers unit. I was wondering if there was any way that you could add 3 other community helpers to just the little book that the children make. In our curriculum, we teach construction workers, farmers, and a chef. I really like the little book that the children make and would like to add these helpers. Thanks so much!
April 2, 2013
Kimberly Cavett (TpT Seller)
I unfortunately don't have clipart for those helpers, but I can add pages to the book if you want that says "A construction is a helper in our community." and just leave the picture blank so your kids could draw them. Would that work? Let me know and I will make those for you.

Hi Kimberly:
ie: Fun With Maps. The pages that are printing out too light are 14, 15, 17, 24, and 26. I printed them on a couple different computers with the same results. It's the drawing of the lake, hills, and plains that aren't coming through dark enough. Thanks for writing back.

Kimberly Cavett (TpT Seller)
I'm so sorry it's still printing too light. Unfortunately, the lake, hills and plains are clip art pictures I purchased from ScrappinDoodles and I can't edit them to make them darker. I tested it on my printer and they were lighter than the other pictures but I can still see them. So sorry I couldn't help you. :(

travlngrl re: Fun with Maps
I just ordered your map packet and am happy with the activities and know my students will enjoy them. However, the hand drawn graphics on many of the pages are too light when the pages are printed. Before I write my review, I was wondering if there's anything you can do to fix this. Thank you so much.
January 1, 2013
Kimberly Cavett (TpT Seller)
I'm sorry it's not printing correctly. It was fine when I printed so I'm not sure what to do. Could you tell me what pages you are talking about?

mom2denj re: Wacky Weather Fun: K/1 Science Unit
Hi Kimberly! I just purchased your weather unit and I am very excited to use it at our homeschool co-op. My question is, how do you play the I have..who has? weather game??
December 27, 2012
Kimberly Cavett (TpT Seller)
You laminate and cut up the cards. The person with the start cards goes first saying, "Who has rainy?" The person with the card that says "I have rainy" would go next asking "Who has cloudy?" Then the cloudy person would go and so on until the last person goes. Hope that makes sense...let me know if it doesn't! Thanks so much for your purchase!

KPM Doodles is where I get most of my clipart. I love her stuff and she has very reasonable prices. You can see her stuff at http://www.kpmdoodles.com
I also get stuff from melonheadz and scrappindoodles.

Kindergarten by Design (TpT Seller)
Hi! I am a Kindergarten teacher here in Texas. I have a question for you. Does your school use CSCOPE for curriculum? If so, how long? Our district just rolled it out for us to begin using it. I love it, but many of my colleagues are overwhelmed and do not like it at all. Did anyone on your faculty have the same problems? Can you tell me how your school overcame the issues? Of course these questions are assuming you do use it. I really appreciate any help you can give me.

acc896 re: Classroom Signs: Daily Schedule and Centers
Very cute! Would you be able to add a "Games" label for the centers section? For the schedule cards, is there a way to create your own once you purchase? I would like to make some that are more specific to the curriculum in school, like Fundations, etc.
September 2, 2012
Kimberly Cavett (TpT Seller)
I just added a games center sign! Sorry it took so long...I was having technical difficulty! :) I included blank schedule cards at the end that you can laminate and write on to add whatever you need!

Pixacious re: Classroom Signs: Daily Schedule and Centers
Is there anyway you could make a computer one for the schedule? That is the only one missing. I see you have that for centers, but we don't have technology in our rooms. It is a special class for us. Unfortunately I only have PDF reader and no Microsoft Word either to make my own :/

Pixacious re: Classroom Signs: Daily Schedule and Centers
Can you list what is on the schedule cards? I just want to make sure you have all that I need. Thanks!

Kimberly Cavett (TpT Seller)
The schedule cards are morning work, calendar, reading, snack, writer's workshop, lunch, recess, rest time, read aloud, PE, music, art, math, social studies, science, centers, pack-up, community circle, library, spanish, study trip and book buddies. I also have some blank ones in there too.

Abigail B (TpT Seller) re: Economics: A K-1 Unit about Needs, Wants, Goods and Services
First of all, thanks for the great economics unit! I've enjoyed using it as a supplement to my existing economics lessons.
A quick question: tomorrow I am using the "Why Save?" worksheet and I'm curious about which reasons your students listed for the three reasons to save money (if you wouldn't mind sharing them). I teach ESOL, so I was hoping to give them the reasons to copy down.
Thanks so much for your help!

Several students said to save for a car. We talked about saving money for college and also to buy a house. Some kids just wrote down they wanted to save for a particular toy or gadget they wanted to buy. I also mentioned saving money in case you have an emergency and need extra money.
Glad you are enjoying it!

This is super cute Kimberly! What a fun way to practice fact families! I really love this idea and was thinking about creating something similar, but with different graphics, for use on the Smartboard ( I use fact family houses with my students) but wanted to ask your permission before I do. I will suggest in my description that buyers visit your store to download a follow-up activity.:) What do you think? Jeannine-Kidsrcute
