Hello
I brought your product and love it but have a question.
On the photobucket it has a picture of BEE-INGO
The download in the packet is a little different- it doesn't have the bee clip art or the directions. Is it possible to get what is shown in the picture?
Thanks so much
Jean

I posted the Bee-ingo card from the picture in update today. You will need to re-download the packet (no charge). The new Bee-ingo mat is the last page.

JNStump re: UNDER THE SEA: OCEAN Math and Literacy Extension Activities
Hi,
I just bought your "Under the Sea" packet and I cannot find the hundred's chart req'd for the Chart design. If that's something that a class would normally have, I'm in trouble because I homeschool. Let me know where I can get that hopefully as a free printable. Also there was only one page of synonym starfish. What are we supposed to be matching it up with? Thanks.

Hi John,
Nice to meet you. I checked out your listing. The only suggestion I might make is to change your description from all caps (that was one of the tips I read on the site's blog awhile ago). You may also want to include another picture or two from the content of your download or a sample download of a page or two to help potential buyers visualize the materials. I hope this helps some. :) I wish you luck on your TpT journey. I've been very pleased with my sales on the site. I've been selling here for about 15 months now and each quarter my earnings have increased. The first two quarters were a little slow, so if its seems to take a while at first, just be patient--it may take some time. I hope that your dream will some day soon be a reality.
:o) Lisa
PS) Congrats on being Suffolk's Teacher of the Year! Nice accomplishment!

There is an error on your worksheet. Number 6 states: The WORKS did well digging the water well. I believe that it should say: The WORKERS did well digging the water well. If you correct this, please let me know so that I can download the corrected version.

Thank you for letting me know. I will correct the typo and upload the corrected version this evening. :-)

Its always nice to "meet" other military spouses. We love Virginia Beach! Its our second time here (2006-2008) and we moved back last summer and already have our follow on orders here for 2013-2105. :o) Yay! Where is your hubby stationed? We live out in the Princess Anne district (not far from the courthouse/municipal center) but my husband is out at Little Creek. Please feel free to email me at b8tes2@yahoo.com.

Lisa Bates (TpT Seller)
You may want to check your spam/junk mail folder. I emailed it yesterday at 1:37 pm. It came from my email addy lisa@teachermadecreations.com with the subject Pete the Cat (corrected pages attached). I will send it again this morning. If you still don't find it, you can redownload it from your purchases page. The corrections have been made & uploaded to the TpT file. (There is no charge for redownloading items from your purchases page.) I'm resending the email now. Hope it you get it. :o)

HI Lisa, I just purchased your 'Pete the Cat' math and literacy activities. I printed out the 'colour the shoe and write a sentence sheet' and there is a typo. It says 'the' when it should say 'then' in the directions on the top of the page. Would you be able to change this and send me a new copy? My email is lkcampbell16@hotmail.com
Thanks!

Sliding into Second (TpT Seller) re: CHRYSANTHEMUM fun literacy and math activities
I just bought the Chrysanthemum activity packet, but I was wondering if you could provide further directions on the glyph. I'm sorry; I'm just not sure how to use this particular one. Thank you!!
Also, there is a grammar error on the part regarding the interview with the child's parents. It's on the first question. Is there any way I could get a new copy?!
Thank you!

May 28, 2012
Lisa Bates (TpT Seller)
Thank you for letting me know. I revised the parent interview and added additional information on the glyph. (When I opened the file, I received a message that Adobe couldn't open some parts of the file and I noticed that some of the information was completely missing from the glyph. I don't know if it was just that I need to update my computer's Acrobat Reader but I revised the glpyh anyway--just in case.) No wonder you couldn't figure out what to do. ;-) You can now go to your purchases and re-download it. It should be fine. Thanks again.

boedee re: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Bingo Set (10 cards with call letters)
I used my bingo cards for the first time yesterday with my kiddos and we quickly realized that one card had 2 K's and another card had 2 X's. I hate to be a complainer but I was unhappy about this because that gave an unfair advantage to 2 kids. Is there any way that you can fix that for me? Thank you.
May 24, 2012
Lisa Bates (TpT Seller)
It's fixed. :o) Sorry. I also created 5 additional cards (for a total of 10). Thank you for your patience. You should be able to access the corrections through your purchases page. If you need me to email them to you, just send your email addy to lisa@teachermadecreations.com.

I just purchased your Chicka Chicka Boom Boom/123 Literacy, Math and Learning Fun files. I was very sad that it only contained one bingo card; the bingo was my main reason for the purchase. I did not know that you had a Bingo Set only, until I clicked on this "Ask a Question" section of your page.

Hmmm, that is weird since I never adjusted the fonts or colors (just typed in a different letter). Sorry about that! Please send me your email address and I will redo page 5 and send it to you right away. I will also check and repost it on TpT.

Oh wow! That would be great! My 3rd graders love to illustrate their writing. I would love some 3rd grade friendly templates that would prompt writing, and include his style of art. They love his books, but I can't find much that is grade-level appropriate. Anything that addressed things like that would be so awesome. Thanks for getting back to me.

Hi,
It would most likely be too young for them. If you have certain skills that you would like to go along with an Eric Carle unit, please message me and let me know. I would be happy to work on it and then post it on the TpT site when finished.
Thanks.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I taught eleven and half years before staying home to raise my two children. I spent more than half of that time teaching middle grades special ed. I then spent the second half of my time in regular ed kindergarten and first grade. That is where my heart is!
MY TEACHING STYLE
I love teaching through hands-on activities and music!
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
President of local chapter of the Council for Learning Disabilities. Nominee for Beginning Teacher of the Year
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I have a BA in Special Education from Florida Atlantic University and am certified in Special Ed. and Early Childhood Ed. I earned a Masters degree in Counseling and Psychology from Troy State University in 2000.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I started creating learning activities to use in my own classroom and found that it was something I really enjoyed doing. So, I decided to create and sell literacy bags, file folder games and learning centers for other teachers back in 2004. I find it an honor to be able to share my work with teachers and students all around the globe.
