These are excellent. I wish that they were not picture images as you have to print them off individually and cannot make any changes. Trans has a typo for transport it says traqnsport. Brachiosaurus has no h. etc. I would have liked to be able to fix them.

Tosha Young (TpT Seller)
Very clear visuals, had no trouble downloading or printing. Would have liked to have had the list in the thumbnails because there were some roots that I needed (based on my own curriculum) that weren't there. Otherwise, great product!

Was ok, but I was looking for something more creative.
April 26, 2012
Laura Gartung (TpT Seller)
Obviously you never taught special education students. My aim is to make simple products that reach ALL students. Special education students benefit from straight forward simple formats/ designs/ questions. The less distraction from the main point of the lesson the better. "Creative" is good up to a point, but sometimes a lot of color and pictures/ clip art can be distracting to a special education student and is not necessary to teach the concept.

Great ideas to use to facilitate all different kinds of writing. It is user friendly and definitely something that can interest my 6th graders. I also like how you have included ideas and suggestions for your expectations on how to use the activities. Thank you!

Very interesting idea. Can see this working for the younger grades (3-6). Good way to get the reluctant writers to write. I may even use this for my ESL students

I am teaching the states of matter in my classroom and this activity was PERFECT! I used this activity along with our textbook (notes on PowerPoint) and an interactive website that shows what happens when heat is added or taken away from a solid, liquid, and gas. I would recommend this to anyone who is teaching the states of matter :)

Anna Lynn (TpT Seller) re: Teacher Tips for New (and not so new) Teachers
I would love to see these, as I am just finishing my first year, but I was unable to open the PDF in Adobe and I don't have the other program. Any way you can re-do the PDF, or make this available another way?

I am unable to print the pictures of your famous people. How can I go about doing this?

Becky Duke (TpT Seller) re: Famous Americans Mini Posters
I love these, but the word liberty is spelled incorrectly on some of them. Would you mind correcting them? I will definitely use these. I tried correcting it myself, but I was afraid I would mess up your work.
Thanks a bunch!

I just orderd your Root Words (and love them!). No issues printing or anything. However, I'd like to add some that are specific to my curriculum and am one of those teachers that like things to match. :) Could you tell me what font you used on these?
January 17, 2013
jnhole re: Famous Americans Mini Posters
I am having trouble printing your pictures. It will let me download them but not print . I know it is not my printer because a coworker had the same problem. Is there another format you can send it in so we can print?

n/a re: Magic Tree House #8 Midnight on the Moon Literature/ Science Unit
I like what you did with this but it has a several errors in it. On the vocabulary sheet #9 has a "smowball". On the Fact vs Fiction sheet the word fact is spelled fiact. On the book quiz #7, 8 and 10 has Jace not Jack and #10 has a type on the word together. Please look thought it and correct typos. I would love to have a copy after the typos/errors have been corrected.

Thank you for your input. I will look over these errors.

I am in the process of updating this listing, I am working on making journal boards for each month, and selling them as a package. I can send you a copy of the september one I completed. Just send your school address to my email: gartungl@yahoo.com and I will either send you a copy via email or snail mail (I create them on my Printmaster program and convert them to PDF, so I am not sure if I can send the PDF file via email, but I will try).
