I hope the description was clear enough! I change to topics in the sections of the document to fit whatever I'm teaching. It's an activity straight out of Marzano's Classroom Instruction That Works...I just adapted for the technology in my classroom.

The font is a little boring and very small. In addition, I'm not crazy about the bat border and a few of the pictures on the front cover. However, the students enjoyed the unit.
April 18, 2013
Kristin Dahl (TpT Seller)
Bat border? On what page? I don't believe I used a bat border on any pages. I'm curious where you found these borders...doesn't make a whole lot of sense for this book! Not sure what happened!

Kristin- I did check my downloads and temp files. Although I am not completely familiar with Macs yet and may very well be missing something. Let me know if there's anything else I could try before I inconvenience you!
Thanks!

Oh, you're on a Mac! I did it on PC. Hmm...do you have Open Office? It might open with that. Let me know. I can resend.

cquinn210 re: Quadrilateral Sorting Activity
Hi Kristin,
I just bought the quadrilateral sorting activity, but am unable to open it. It asks me to save the file, instead of opening it, and then I can't find it anywhere. I have Word on my computer, so I don't know why it's not working. Any ideas? Could you send in another format?
Thanks
Courtney

That's weird! Did you try your Downloads folder or temporary files? Sometimes things default there to save. I made it in Word, so that shouldn't be a problem. Let me know if you can't open it and I can get on my computer tonight and send it to you in a different format. Just send me your email. Worst case scenario, I'll send it to you as a PDF. Good luck and let me know if I can help!

Kristin Dahl (TpT Seller)
I didn't make one, sorry. I've read the book at least 10 times, so I didn't need one for myself. For the vocab, it'll be easy to find the pages because I put them in chronological order. So if a word is on page 165, the next one is blank and the following word is on 167, then the missing word can be found on 166. Does that make sense?

Hi Kristin,
I purchased your Halloween Mad Lib, but when I download it, all the adjectives are not under the lines they should be and unless I spend time trying to fix it myself, it is not usable by my students as it would be too confusing. Just thought you should know.

Hi, I purchased the Halloween Mad Lib. When I opened the document the parts of speech requirements were not correctly placed on the blank lines. Is there something I can do to fix the problem?
October 17, 2011
Kristin Dahl (TpT Seller)
I made it in Word. Maybe if you open it in an older version of Word...or even through Open Office. I've had things get screwy like that before too when I tried opening something using a newer version than what it was created in. Sorry! Hope that helps. If not, let me know and I'll save it as a PDF and send it to you. Sorry for the trouble!

Sure thing! Send me your email and I'll email my original Word doc to you. Maybe that'll help! Are you using a PC or Mac? I don't know if that makes a difference? Thanks, Kristin

Kristen,
I recently purchased your unit for The Westing Game and I love it! It is cute and thought provoking. I am having a problem with the packet when downloading though. The pages are all running together and I am actually able to view only a limited bit of the information, i.e. vocabulary (only 2 pages), the Paper Towel Clues (directions only, all rectangles are overlapped),etc.
I have tried to download using both my Mac and a pc and have experienced the same problem with both computers.
I am wondering if there is any chance you might be able to e-mail the unit to me directly to see if it comes through without the overlapping that way. My e-mail address is blarson@gtschools.k12.ia.us
Thanks for sharing all of your great plans.

Hi Nicole,
I looked at my original, and no, I didn't have anything for those chapters...I think it's because I used some supplemental things I got out of Mailbox Magazine. If you want, I'd be happy to scan them and send them to you! Let me know! Thanks,

Hi Samantha,
Sorry for not providing directions! I guess I should edit that! Anyway, what I did was give the kids the first sheet, and they used the words from the bottom to create individual boards. They take the words at the bottom of page one and write one word per box in whichever boxes they choose. The big words on page two can be printed out for you to use as calling cards. I used this activity with my teammates when I taught 2nd grade. We had a celebration day to end our Polar Regions Unit, and the kids would play in the snow and then all the 2nd graders would sit in the cafeteria, drink hot cocoa, eat Goldfish crackers (which we also used as Bingo Markers!) and play this game. What I did was copy the second page of this activity on an overhead transparency and cut it up. I then put the words up one at a time on the overhead so all 5 classes could see it on the big screen in our "cafetorium." When I gave the words, I didn't say the word, rather I gave them a clue to find the word. I'd say, "I am a bird that is a penguin predator" and they'd answer, "Skua" and then I'd put the word up on the overhead.
I hope that helps and I apologize if my description was laborious! Hope you like it, and have a great holiday!
