Hey Laura
No problem! Is there anyway I can purchase the mini-pack separately? When I go to your website and type in the search engine, it brings the addition and subtraction one up. Here is the link I copied http://www.lauracandler.com/books/mmfactscombo.php
Thanks for your help and I look forward to seeing the addition and subtraction one when it is complete. Thanks for all that you do for teachers.

June 11, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Oh - that explains it! I just unlinked the combo page from the rest of my site but it's still there when you use the search engine. Did you preview the addition and subtraction book? It's not a complete book like the other one. It only costs $4, though, because it's meant to be a supplement to the other one. I just activated the link to it and I'll leave it active until you take a look. If you don't want to purchase it, that's fine, but let me know so I can deactivate the link again. Here's the link, or you can search for Mastering Math Facts: Addition and Subtraction and it should come up: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Mastering-Addition-and-Subtraction-Facts-422956

I'm sorry! I didn't realize it was still listed on my website. Do you know where you saw it? Please email me at lauracandler@att.net if you remember the page where you saw it and can send me a link. I tried to remove all references to it. It's no longer available since the new Mastering Math Facts came out. The addition and subtraction one was not a complete program and it shouldn't be paired with the new book which is professionally formatted. I'm working on an addition and subtraction book to go with the new multiplication and division one, but it won't be available for close to a year. I haven't even signed a contract with the publisher for it.

Linw53 re: Sentence Go Round
Hi, love the look of the product I bought, however only half of page 7 prints ( the top half to number 6) I have tried it twice and emailed it to school to try and print it tomorrow, but maybe there is a simple reason for this. All other pages printed perfectly.

I have no idea why this is happening because I have not had any complaints about this. It sounds like a printer memory problem to me. Is your printer an older model? Hopefully if you print it on a different printer it will work. You can try contacting the TpT support team using the Help link at the top of the site if your issue is not resolved. I hope it works out for you!

Hi! Laura,
I had a quick question regarding a download that I purchased from you. I bought a download of the two fraction spinner games that you have on your website. I did not realize until I had already bought them that a zip program is required to open them. Do you know of any place online where I can download the program I need for free?
Thanks,
Marci Douglas

Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Hi Marci,
Thanks for your purchase! I'm sure that you can get help with that from the TpT support team. I have a PC and my computer automatically came with a program to unzip the files. Are you sure that yours doesn't? When I buy zip files I open the folder and there's something that top that says "Extract all files." It doesn't say to unzip them. When I click on that it asks me to browse for a location (folder) where I want to put the unzipped files. Then I click Ok (or Save or whatever the option is) and my files are unzipped and put in the folder. If that doesn't work for you, check the help page on TpT here: https://support.teacherspayteachers.com/ or just click the word Help at the top of the TpT site. If your answer is not on that page, you can open a ticket by clicking the Contact Us link. I hope this helps!

Bought your power reading workshop ebook. it will not download onto my computer. It gets to 98% and then says it is not able to download. Help me please, 19.95 is a lot to spend to not be able to open it.

Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Hi! I'm sorry you are having problems. It sounds like an issue with Adobe Acrobat. Do you have the most up-to-date version? Try restarting your computer to free up memory, too. You can contact the TpT support team for help with this. If you can't resolve it, you can get a refund. If you live in the US or Canada you can ask for a refund and get the print version for just a little more from www.lauracandler.com. If you want to do that, use discount code CCC20 for 20% off.

May 23, 2013

No, I'm sorry. I don't have a version for younger kids. I suppose you can hold onto it and you'll be able to use it in a year or so when he's ready.

Why don't you take a look at it? The entire thing is available as a preview from the Download Preview button. You might have to modify the directions a bit.

danaruehlen re: Math Stations for Middle Grades
This looks amazing but too elementary in content for my many of my grade 8's. I need +-x/ fractions not comparing fractions for example. Any chance u have a similar product made for higher levels? Grade 6-9????
May 12, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
No, sorry! However, you can modify the games and activities to include your own content. You can make up problem cards to go along with the activities that have 8th grade content, or you can buy task cards on TpT that have the content you want.

That was a bonus file and you can only open it if you have Microsoft Publisher. Can you find a computer that has that program? If not, don't worry about it. You don't really need it. Thanks for your purchase.

Laura, I can't believe I can give you helpful info about QR codes! My students and I love them! I have used goqr.me to create some, BUT I just discovered http://beqrious.com/qr-code-generator/ which has some very interesting new options that could get you ahead of the others, like interesting colors and designs AND being able to track and map where your codes are being scanned! My favorite sellers using codes now are Kristin Kennedy and FlapJack Educational Resources. I hope this was helpful. I didn't know how to respond to your questions on the comments page!
April 6, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
This was great! I actually went on a search for some information after reading your suggestion. I found www.qrstuff.com that would allow me to create a QR code for each answer. I found out that other sellers just put the code on the front of the card. I would have to make those cards bigger, but I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks for the suggestions! I'll look into the sites you told me about above.

I just purchased your combo pack of "Exploring Poetry" and "Writing Powerful Poetry." Unfortunately, I didn't notice until after I purchased it that it is a zip drive. I am unable to open it on my computer. Would it be possible for you to send me the separate products in a PDF format? Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks!

Daisy Mitchell (TpT Seller) re: CCSS Reading Discussion Prompts (5th Grade)
I just purchased this item, and I was wondering if you can change the color of the border so I can quickly tell apart the two sets of discussion prompts. Thank you.
March 31, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Each border is color-coded for the grade level so I'm not able to help you out with that request. There are actually 3 sets of prompts and each set is in a completely different file so you should be able to tell them apart by the name of the file and the cover image.
March 31, 2013
melzanator re: Mastering Math Facts Multiplication and Division: Aligned with the Common Core
Is this the revised version and if so what is new? I just bought the original about 2 weeks ago and its fantastic, I'd like to know what's new before I purchase this one too.
March 30, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
No, this is not the revised version but the good news is that you don't need to purchase the new one. You will get it for free as soon as it's ready. I will revise this item and since you've already purchased it you'll be able to download it from your account on TpT. I'm glad you like the original one, but the new one is even better! Lots more content and all CCSS aligned. I'm hoping the digital version will be able in a week or so.

I teach 3rd grade. I do have a basal reader, but each poem has just one or two of the poetic devices.
March 28, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Can you check to see if your school has a decent poetry anthology for kids? Ask the media specialist to help you find some books that have good poems - poems that don't always rhyme. I also have a page on my website with some links to other poetry resources. http://www.lauracandler.com/filecabinet/literacy/poetry.php Good luck!
I don't know if you will see this response, but I don't have any other way of contacting you. Do you know author and poet Kristine O'Connell George? I happen to be corresponding with her about some other things and I sent your question to her. She sent me a link to a blog post with some helpful information: http://missrumphiuseffect.blogspot.com/2009/04/poetry-makers-kristine-oconnell-george.html
She said there's a LOT of poetry there and a variety of techniques.
She also wrote, "If I could tell her one thing, it would be to read a lot of poems (aloud) over the weekend. Mark the ones that speak to her personally. Read those to the class on Monday. Something magical happens when a teacher reads poems she personally loves ... Worse place to start? Analysis! I think poetry should be read aloud every school day. NO discussion. NO analysis. Just read aloud with feeling."
So maybe before you jump into the activities in Exploring Poetry it would be a good idea to read a poem a day just for enjoyment.

jkohler re: Exploring Poetry: Introduction to Poetic Devices
Hello,
I recently purchased this product and I'm gathering materials to begin teaching it this week. However, I am having a hard time finding one poem that contains strong imagery and other poetic devices, that I will use to introduce poetry to the kids. I was wondering if you have an example of a poem that you use for the first lesson with your students? I have been searching for hours and I'm beginning to get discouraged. Poetry has not always been my most comfortable area to teach. :/ Thanks so much for your help.

Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
What grade do you teach? One place you can look is your basal reader if you have one. Many times you can find good poems there. But you won't always find a poem that has all the different poetic devices. You really need an anthology for that. I just bought a book called The Poetry Friday Anthology that has great short poems for every grade level. It was $29.99 on Amazon but I just checked and there's a Kindle version, too.

March 14, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Hi! No, I haven't had that problem and no one has complained about that document. You need to talk to someone from your school because it sounds like a technical issue on your end. This is a compressed zip file and you will need to "unzip" it before sending those files to the printer. Someone at your school should be able to help you with that issue. Thanks for purchasing it. I'm sure you'll get it worked out on your end.

Hi Laura, I downloaded the Free 20 Terrific Presentation Tech Tools for Kids and when I opened it, it opened automatically into Notepad and was just jibberish. Can you tell me what I need to do to be able to view this?
Thank you!!
Lori

Weird! I thought I responded to this question. This is a zip file so you'll need to unzip it before you can see anything. If you don't know how to unzip a file, you'll need to get someone at your school to help you. It's different for different operating systems.

HI Laura, Do these meet Texas Standards? Thank you so much! They look great!

Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
I have no idea because I don't teach in Texas. However, you can preview every single thing online before you buy it to see exactly what it covers.

I have bought and used a your poetry units and I love them. Thank You. Have you ever written a cumulative test to accompany the units?
March 5, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
No, I haven't. I really didn't test poetry in my class. Sorry. I'm glad you like the units!

Hi,
Do any of these problems include using brackets and braces? They are now part of the CCS for grade 5.

Are you aware that you can preview all of my items completely before you purchase them? Just click the download button. But to answer your question, no, they don't. I've been thinking of adding some task cards for that, but I haven't gotten around to it. Trying to add brackets and braces means coming up with really long problems and I just haven't had time to work on it. If I do add them, it would be another product called Order of Operations Bingo Level 3. Maybe I'll get to it one day, but these problems provide a great starting point for the foundations.

tking75 re: Analyzing Character Traits
Hello, how do I access the PDF files for the interactive whiteboard?
March 4, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Go to your TpT account when you are at school and download the PDF files to your school computer. Then click to open them when you have your interactive whiteboard on. You can't edit them, but you can use a whiteboard marker and write on them or use them for demonstration purposes.

christicatherine re: Character Bio Reports
I am looking forward to trying out this project with my 5th graders. Since we are a values-based school, this format fits beautifully! I am wondering if there are any sample bio reports out there to use as student models? I'd love to find an example of the essay to give them an idea of what it will be like. Thank you!
March 1, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Sorry, I didn't keep any that my students did. However, the kids did just fine without an example. Just work through the process as described and allow time for individual and peer conferences. You'll be amazed at how good they turn out!

I want to use my own consequences..How can I type those in on the document?
February 28, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Sorry - you can't. It's a PDF file and it's not editable. I did give a blank version that you can print and write your own consequences on it, but you can't type them.

AStevenson re: March Activities from Teaching Resources
I just purchased the March Activities pack but did not receive the blank story hat map templates to use with the Reading Marathon activity. They were not included in the download. Could you let me know how to access them? It says in the product description that they would be included.
Thank you!
Thank you!
February 27, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
I just checked and you are right! Those patterns were missing from the March Activities Pack! I'm so sorry. I know what happened. I had to remove them and take off the clipart that I had of the Cat in the Hat figure. Then I forgot to add them back to the packet. I have revised it and you can go to your account and download the revised version. Also, I would like to send you a free item from my store worth up to $5.00 to apologize for this oversight. Email me at lauracandler@att.net. Thanks!

Lori Morgan (TpT Seller) re: FREE February Activities from Teaching Resources
I love the books I have purchased by you. With the Common Core being new to Kansas it has really helped. I teach 2nd and 3rd grade (looping) and wondered if you created lessons on line for that age group?
February 25, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Thanks! I do have a few items though not as many as for upper elementary. You might like my CCSS aligned Reading Discussion Questions and some of my games. Try going to my store and doing a search there.

cjournellhoch re: Power Reading Workshop and Graphic Organizers Ebook Combo
What is the format of the ebook? Is it pdf like the preview? will I be able to print the organizers etc, from my computer?
February 21, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Yes, the format is a PDF and you can print it from your computer. The neat thing about the PDF version is that it has clickable links that allow you to jump from one part of the text to another. For example, you can click on something in the table of contents and it takes you right to that page in the book.

Hi Laura,
I was on Pinterest and found your Talking Sticks Common Core Combo
(Grades 2 - 5) for $8.00 through TPT, however when I click on the buy now link I get your TPT page with all of the individual packages. I want to purchase the combo pack and save a bit of money. Please advise the correct link to do this.
Thanks

Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Hi Jacqueline, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner on this. I removed that combo pack because I ended up adding more to it - it now covers grade K - 5. Also, I created CCSS Discussion cards to go with those Talking Sticks activities and I created combos with them. Finally, I didn't think a teacher would want to buy the combo version because they are all for different grade levels. It's not designed to be shared schoolwide. If you are buying this for a school, they can purchase a site license for the whole K-5 pack from my website (www.lauracandler.com). You can email me at lauracandler@att.net if you want to ask me something else related to this issue. Thanks!

Elizabeth Steele re: Customary Measurement Conversions Power Pack
Laura,
I"ve tried several times to print the Customary Measurement Pack but it just won't print. I waited until now b/c I was waiting for tech to respond. I tried it today, but all I get is an error message. This is the second time this has happened. The other time I tried a different printer, but this time that didn't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Betsy Steele

Hi Betsy, thanks for purchasing this item and I'm sorry you are having problems with it. Have you tried going back to your account on TpT and downloading a new copy? It could be that yours is a corrupt file, but I haven't gotten any other emails about this so I think it might be a weird glitch in your file. If that doesn't help, contact the support folks at TpT and open a ticket. They are very responsive. Here's the link you need for that: https://support.teacherspayteachers.com Just copy and paste that link into your browser to get to that page or search the help menu on TpT.

I homeschool a just turned 6 year old who is right on with beginning 2nd grade level math. Which Daily Math Puzzler book would you recommend? Thank you!
February 16, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Sorry - I missed this earlier. You can preview all of those items from their pages on TpT, and the lowest level is Level A which would be about right. I also have a free assessment you can use to find out which level is right. Look in the free part of my TpT store for the problem solving assessment freebie.

There is no answer key in the puzzle packs? I just bought level C and was going to buy level D. But again, no answers?
February 5, 2013
Laura Candler (TpT Seller)
Yes, there are answers! They are located in a chart on page 73. In fact, I just made a change to the answer key today because someone discovered an error on C-20, item 3. It should be 5 odd sums.
