Eek! I was just laminating my pack and found a typo. Can you fix #5 on Fill in the Blank? It says, "______ OF pot of water." Thanks! I love all of your stuff! :)

Thanks!

The 2nd grade edition should be uploaded by tonight if you want to wait. :) If you leave your email, I will email you as soon as it is posted so you don't have to wait for the new products email from TpT.

I'm so sorry ormonde21, my weekend plans and mother's day plans changed, so I was unable to get to the Favorites in First 2nd grade version. Hopefully it will be up by tomorrow night. So sorry!

Hi Leslie! :) Are you talking about the phonics packs that contain the word sort, word scramble, fill in the blank, and ABC order? If so, yes! I'm working on creating these phonics packs as we speak. I'm working on C+le at the moment, but I can get started on oi/oy within the next couple of days :)

Hi Leslie!
LOVE this pack! So bright and cheery. :) I was going over the words with my kids today for the word sort and my kids noticed that there are two "cube" cards. I told them to write it on their paper twice next week when they find them (using it for Write the Room). Just wanted to let you know in case you hadn't caught it yet.
Thanks for a great pack! Cherie

pamsneal re: Roll and Answer: A Literacy Center
Hi, I love this game. Can you email me an editable copy if you don't mind? I teach Kindergarten, and may have to adapt the questions just a bit. I found the containers at Dollar Tree. Did you tape or glue the questions down in each little part of the containter? What are the directions to this activity? Do the kids toss the dice in that little empty container in the middle of the serving platter? And then do they write or draw the answer to the question on the recording sheet according to whatever the dice lands on? I would love to use this. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi Leslie. I love your Fiesta Time. I am a 2nd grade teacher in a Spanish Dual Immersion program. We study Mexico in 2nd grade. I would love to purchase this mini unit. My question is: Do you have it in Spanish? If not, would you be open to offering it in Spanish? I am willing to translate it for you and send it back to you to resell in Spanish. I would love to purchasethis unit from you but I can only use Spanish materials. Let me know if this is a possibility. I would be glad to do it. Thanks!

Probably just an oversight on your part, but did you know that the word "eskimo" as in your "eskimo patterns" freebie is considered to be derogatory? I am sure that you did not mean to do that, but I wanted to make you aware. I used that term myself in school and was corrected. Wanted to let you know before someone complains.
