teemvee re: Classroom Coupons-50+ Coupons to Reward and Inspire
This is an absolutely brilliant idea! I can't wait to use this in the classroom. If it's not too much to ask, would you be able to list all the coupons available? I saw another teacher with the same concept of reward coupons had put a description of all the rewards. Just want to know before I purchase :) thanks.

I absolutely LOVE these and can't wait to use them in my classroom next year!!! Is there any way you could create a cover (8.5 x11) that could be used as the cover for the binder? If that's too much trouble, could you give me the names of fonts that you used? I'm sure your to-do list is miles long! :) Thank you so much!!!

I am interested in your classroom coupons, but didn't know if the following coupons are included. They are ones I currently have had great success with in my third grade classroom. desk ninja (like the desk fairy - students gets to secretly pick the cleanest desk for the week), comfy chair for the day, rolling chair, first in line, teacher's assistant (help pass out papers, etc.), stuffed animal to school, sit by a friend, shoes off, use a fancy pen, 10 minute dance party for class, read aloud choice, free pencil, pick a bookmark, pick your own partner, wear slippers, calendar keeper, clean slate (board cleaner), free restroom breaks for a day, show and tell, volunteer work (help in someone else's class), stress relief (keep a squishy ball on desk), table hopper pass for the lunch room
If they aren't available, would you be able to create them?

Hi Laura, I love these! I have a quick question though. On the pages that have 6 smaller coupons, are they all the same coupons or different ones? I would like to organize them in small photo albums organized by their cost to the kids. I only need one copy of each and I would rather not print off 50 pages if I don't need to...especially if I am going to decide to use the color version which will mean I need to pay for it since we don't have a color printer. I was just wondering before I bought them! Thanks!

Hey, girl! I'm so glad you like them! I like that idea! Putting 6 different coupons on one page is a quick fix. If you give me a couple of days, I can add that. Right now, all 6 coupons are the same. Check back Tuesday night. I'll add Updated June 2013 to the beginning of the description. Or, you can leave your email, and I'll contact you when they're ready! Thanks for the great suggestion! Laura

Would there be a chance that I could pay you to make the months of the year in alternating colors. I am using the polka dot theme with black and white, green and white, and a green that looks close to the one you already have. You know? Kind of a happy green? Not lime, but happy. :)))

Hi! First of all, this is AWESOME and so are you! Just a couple of things...I noticed that while there were coupons for it, there was not a coupon book large "sign" for the Take a Walk 10 minute (only for the 5 minutes.) There were duplicate pages of "Comfy Chair" though. Also, in the coupon description, you mentioned that there was a "hall pass included." I didn't see that. Then, there were not coupons for Marker Board Madness or Teacher Helper, but again there were duplicates of Comfy Chair. I'd love to have the missing items and leave some glowing feedback for 'ya! :)

Thanks so much for your feedback!! I'm happy you like the coupons. I'm not home right now to open the file, but there are actually two "Comfy Chair" coupons. I had requests for a daily one and a weekly one, so I included both. I'll check the others as soon as I get home and add the missing items! SO sorry about that! Try re-downloading tomorrow for the corrections! Thanks for letting me know! Great proofing!! :) Laura

HI! I organize my coupons two ways. For the smaller coupons, I use photo books I found at Target. They hold about 36 coupons each and fit well! The larger coupons are stored in a binder with page protectors. I have a pic of both in the product thumbnails. Thanks so much for your interest!! Laura

pjutras re: Sound Box Fun-CVC Elkonin Boxes
This is kind of weird...when I viewed this set after purchasing it yesterday, all 211 pages downloaded fine. Now, when I go to print this set today, I am only getting a total of 155 pages. It appears that I am missing the practice sound boxes and all of the pages that have 4 sound boxes on them. (So the pages don't correspond to the table of contents now). Just wondering if this has happened before or if you know what could be causing this problem? I have exited out and re-downloaded a few times now and I still only get 155 pages...

Hi, Janice!
I'm so happy you like this pack! Each of these games is focused on a short vowel. The name uses that short vowel. For instance, Happy Ants for short a. The pictures correlate to the short vowel name. Since the skill is reading the cvc word, I don't want the students to rely on the pics. Does that make sense? Let me know if you have other questions. Happy New Year!

Hi Laura,
I donated $25 because I really wanted to help out but I also REALLY wanted your coupons. They are super cute. I can not wait to use them. I have a catalog my students choose from. I see that other teachers have requested full pages. After you update the file, can you send me the updated file. I didn't purchase on tpt. Instead I have the file from being a bucket filler from Amanda. I will be happy to pay more. missnelsonattpt@yahoo.com

I'm so glad you like the coupons! I'm working on the file right now and will be happy to send to you when it's updated. I'm also working on a couple of other things, so it may be awhile...I'm sure you know what I'm talking about! Thanks so much!!

Laura,
Glad you are feeling better!! I had no idea you had pneumonia! Yikes... I know that can really take it out of ya. I was able to figure a lot out on my own believe it or not!! :) I do still have little, odd-ball questions, but off the top of my head, I can't think of them (go figure!) Thank you for the kind comments on my Apple activity! Oh yeah, here's two questions:

1. How long have you been on TPT?
2. How do you sell so many?!?!? I'm a little frustrated because I don't know how to price things, and I haven't sold anything yet.

What is your e-mail? Instead of clogging up your questions section, I'll just e-mail ya :)

Thank you for your sweet comments! ! I create all my products in Powerpoint! It's much easier than Word. I know some sellers create in Pages, but I've never tried that one. It supposed to be pretty easy, too. :)

Can you please e-mail me at huffman854@gmail.com? I was hoping that MAYBE you could answer a few questions about the copyright stuff (you're right - I'm certainly not trying to get sued!!) Also, I opened up Microsoft Power Point the other night, and had NO idea how to start :( I realize it would take forever to give me the entire scoop, but if you can maybe give me a few basics, I'd appreciate it. I tried searching in Google for how to start, and found nothing. I'd love to get started, and I think once I learn a few of the basics, I'll be good to go! :) Let me know if you are willing and able to help. I would truly appreciate everything and anything you could tell me. Thank you!! -Kate

I'm thinking about getting started with TPT. I've bought several of your items. Can you tell me what program you use, how and where you get your illustrations from, if you've experienced any problems with TPT, and anything else you're willing to offer? Your work is fabulous, and that's why I chose to ask you. Thanks!! Kate

Hi, Kate!
Thank you so much for your sweet remarks and support of my shop!! I appreciate it very much! I I create all my products in PowerPoint. I started out with Word but became frustrated very quickly! My graphics come from a number of places. There are several amazing artists right here on TpT. Search clipart on the homepage, and take your pick of all the awesome artists! TpT has been so easy to use! I started selling in February and have not had any problems! One thing to remember when you start creating: always check the Terms of Use for art and fonts you choose to use. Make sure they are available for educational use. No one wants to be sued! Ha! Most of the art on TpT can be used in products with no issues. I hope I've helped somewhat! If you have other questions, leave your email, and I'll be happy to answer them!! Good luck to you and thanks again for all your support!!

Hi, Laura! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your Traffic Jam sight word game!!! I was wondering if you would mind e-mailing me back to let me know the exact sight words included in this game and if you would consider creating and letting me purchase additional sight words cards that may not be included in the game? Thank you in advance for your prompt reply....I really look forward to hearing from you!!!

Smiles,

HaHa! I'm so glad you like the set! I actually have a list going of Read and Write the Room sets I want to do! I'm not sure if I'll get to Halloween, but I could definitely look at the holidays after that. Thanks for the idea! Let me see what I can do!
Have a great week!

Hi Laura,
How do you organize your coupons? In other words, how are they arranged so that students can look through them and choose without making a mess of them? I just purchased them and am really excited to put them into use.

Hi, Margaret!
I'm so glad you like the coupons! To store them,I bought a $2 small plastic photo album from Target that has 36-40 pages. The coupons live in the plastic sleeves on each page. The students can flip through the pages and decide which coupons to purchase. Does that make sense? I plan to do a blog post on that soon if the visual will help. I've also been asked to do a full page of each coupon and when time allows, plan to get that going, too. I'll update the product when that is complete. Hope this helps and you enjoy!Thanks again!
