re: Money Trade Game
I have been looking for a game to reinforce coin money with my kindergarteners. So far I have only taught recognizing and the value of penny and dime. Teaching money is such a difficult concept for this age. I would love if you could make a bank board and game board with just penny and dime, and another with just penny and nickel so that the kiddos get practice with two coins before adding another into the mix. And for the higher kids, a bank board and game board with all four coins. Thanks!

KinderKay  (TpT Seller)
Thanks for the suggestion! I, too, teach kinder and this is a great idea! Unfortunately money has been taken from the Common Core in kindergarten and I think that I am going to leave this game as is. We still plan to continue SORTING coins, but presently we are not planning to present the concept of COUNTING coins in kindergarten. I thank you so very much for the wonderful suggestion and I will definitely keep this on the back burner for a future revision! Blessings, Cindy

I have been a TPT seller since June 2011. It took me a very long time to gain my followers. I revised and revised my products to make them into something that would be worthy of the money paid. I didn't really worry about followers when I first started. I wanted to make sure that my products were high quality before I had a large following. I have also been lucky to have had a few of my freebies in the newsletter. My blog has also helped!

Hope this helped you a little bit! Good luck! Cindy

Are you opening from a Mac? Make sure that your default is set to open in Adobe and that you have the latest version of Adobe. There is definitely nothing in the content to hurt your computer BUT it is a really large file and computers do not always want to open them. If you still have troubles, email me and I will try to help you through it later today. So sorry about that!

Jainey re: Christopher Columbus story for little kids
I just had a look at your generic Native American unit, I know you mean well, I think you should have a read of this blog (link below) - it is Thanksgiving specific but is good advice for teaching children about Native Americans. Lest they get the wrong historical impression (and believe in current day stereotypes), like is given with this benignly smiling Christopher Columbus /Explorer unit, that they painfully have to unlearn later (and many are resistant to unlearn, as seen by your response and another comment regarding my original post).
You have a great talent - it would be awesome to see you do some really meaningful and appropriate units concerning US History and Native American cultureS.

Hi Janiey,
Thank you for your interest in this unit. Have you read my whole unit or are you just reading the description? If you purchased my unit, you will see that I tried very hard to teach children that Native Americans lived in many different ways, and that Native Americans of today strive to continue their traditions in a world that has taken away so much from their culture. In my classroom, I talk to the kids about the different tribes and work VERY hard to NOT overgeneralize stereotypes. I worked to create a unit that applauded the greatness of the tribes BUT I also teach very young children so describing the horrors of what happened to these people is not in my agenda. I understand your concerns and am so sorry that you are offended by my resources.
Thank you for the link that you shared above- I read over the information carefully, and feel like I followed the same values as presented in this article. Thank you again for sharing your concerns,

Cindy

There are no written directions for this particular packet. There ARE, however, picture cues that show children the steps to drawing the animals. African Jungle Animals was one of my first products, so it is presented a little differently than my other products. (This product has been revised since I gave this response. Please see the comments on the product page!) I am presently working on a spring themed product, but it is not yet ready. I like to try them in my classroom first before posting to work out any problems! I do have a free product centering around flowers. Here is the link: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/My-Flower-Garden-Lets-Make-a-Book-Emergent-Reader It also, though, is one of my first products and therefore set up differently from my newer ones.
Thank you for your interest in my products! I am so glad that you enjoy them! I will be posting my new spring packet soon!

This is not a question. I thank you for your willingness to give me another product. But that will not be necessary. I truly meant that I was trying to support the people I was getting the free stuff from. I also need to apologize for my comment. It was without merit because I didn't say anything constructive. Now after looking back over your product, I think the problem was me. I think I was a little overwhelmed with all of the different ways to measure. The product is a lot to take in and I was not prepared for so much. Thank you for your concern and I will continue to follow your products and will make certain I include a complaint with my comment rather than just be tacky.

Oh you are so kind! I know that my products have a tendency to overwhelm. I guess I just want teachers to have everything that they need and when I do that, I am sure it can be too much. You still are welcome to enjoy a free product from me. Just look through my store and send me the name of the product through my email which you will find on the back page of the measuring packet. Or visit my blog and go through the contact me link. Here is my blog...

Am I missing something in my download? It says that there is a gingerbread outline in the product overview, but I do not see it in my download. This is the cutest activity and I can't wait to make it with my kindergarteners.

I was wondering if you have a draw and write for Decemeber. I know you have the free Santa. I just wondered if you were going to put something else together for Christmas or winter. I love your colorful word cards. They are perfect for my first graers especially the ell students.
Thanks love your products.

Oh gosh! Thanks! I have been doing these types of books with my kinder students for years and just this summer decided to try to see if anyone else might be interested. I have a pumpkin book that I do with my students, but it is not ready to sell yet. I will see if I can get it together soon and let you know. Are you a follower? Because if you are, you will get notification of when I post a new product. I have a Native American one on the drawing board and hope to get it ready by Thanksgiving. BTW, my brother lives in Alameda, CA. I LOVE San Francisco! Lucky you! Cindy

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I taught second grade for 7 years in a small, rural school. After a short break to raise my children, I was offered a kindergarten position and am still there many years later and loving every minute!I can honestly say that I still jump out of bed each school morning eager to begin the day with my little ones!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe that it is the teacher's job to inspire, but after the inspiration, it is then the teacher's job to step back and let the learning begin. Most of my student's day is spent in small groups, but I also believe that much can be learned in a large group setting, too. It is my belief that children learn the best when they are creating, so we do a lot of drawing, cutting, painting, and gluing in my classroom! I love it when my kinders come to school saying "What are we going to make today, Teacher?" I LOVE the love notes they write to me and I love the fact that they LOVE school! I am inspired by my students and cannot think of a better way to live my life.
