Hi Sugar10!
Thanks for the heads up. I don't know why, but the file reverted to the original version without the prompts. I have uploaded it again and it should have the prompts now. Please let me know if they are NOT there. I really appreciate you letting me know! I had no idea the prompts were not showing!

Hi Katie!
First, check to make sure you have Notebook software. This is a .notebook file and requires Notebook software to open (it comes with a smart board). Each interactive whiteboard has its own software and they don't all work the same.
If this is the case, just click "contact us" at the bottom of the page to request a refund.
If you DO have Notebook software and its still not opening, just leave me another message here and I'll try to trouble shoot for you.

godinezr re: Write My Way... lessons for beginning writers OCTOBER Bundle
Hi, I have used your lessons in my classroom all year. Great job! School does not end for us until June. So, do you have a May writing bundle? Please let me know...because we are almost finished with the March/April bundle/
Thank you, Becky

Lisa Rombach  (TpT Seller)
Hi Becky!!
First of all, thanks so much for your positive feedback! I am honored that you are using my writing lessons with your students!!

Yes, there is a May writing bundle in the works. Right now, the only part that is posted is the Mother's Day cloze sentence letters. You can find them here
http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Mothers-Day-Letters-Cloze-Sentence-Writing-Activity-Primary-Grades

I am working on a unit for the students to write longer stories (this lesson builds on what they learned in writing a short story and has them develop their own starting sentence before writing events) and possibly a unit on writing in speech bubbles / thought bubbles.

I don't think I'll get it done in time for you to use this year, but hopefully, it will be done some time in June. If you are a follower, you'll get the email alert.

I LOVE knowing that you like the program and I so appreciate your message. :-)

I do have a few generic type writing activities that I use after reading literature books that you may want to check out for this year. They are VERY basic outlines for writing after hearing a picture book.
http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Browse/Search:simple+writing+activities+inspired+by+picture+books+Set

THANK YOU so much for using my products!! I hope you have a GREAT finish to your school year!

Lisa Rombach
Lisa Rombach  (TpT Seller)
Hello again,
Unfortunately, each interactive whiteboard has its own software. Active inspire (as far as I know) will not open .notebook files. Only Smart Notebook will open .notebook files. I am guessing your whiteboard is not a Smart Board (if you have a Smart Board, it comes with Smart Notebook software). Maybe you have a mimeo or a promethean board?
You will want to request a refund. I think there are other sellers on TPT selling active inspire files ( or "flip charts"). I sure hope you can find some great resources that will work on your interactive whiteboard.
Thanks for your interest in my product!! I'm sorry my .notebook files won't work for you. :-(

Lisa

Hello! I just checked the file and all is working on my end. Check to make sure that Smart Notebook software is on your computer (this is a .notebook file and requires notebook software to open). Also, try going to "my purchases" and downloading a new copy of the file. Make sure you drag it out of the download file before opening it. If you do have notebook software and the file still doesn't work, let me know (contact me here again) and I'll see if I can get the problem solved.
Sorry that you have experienced frustration!

Hello Polyv
I'm sorry that the lesson did not meet your expectations. This was one of the first lessons I posted on TPT and the description DID need more information. I have updated the description to give buyers more specific information about the lesson. I checked the school tube video and it is working on my end.

Hello! I just checked the page you described. Unfortunately, the flash files on that page stopped working. I have replaced the "button" page with a new page. You will click the word (it will fade away) and reveal the Australian word. Read it to your students and then have them "talk like an Australian". Thanks for letting me know about this issue. It was working when I used this lesson in the Fall so I would not have known about the problem if you had not left me a message. THANKS so much and have fun using the lesson!!

I am extremely interesting in your Learn About Cultures Smart Board Lessons -- they would be the perfect compliment to our Around the World with Cinderella unit.

I'm a first year teacher teaching first grade in Spanish all day. I love my job and I still feel like I'm doggie paddling and miss creating Smartboards. I love what your Smartboards look like and am wondering if you've ever thought of translating them into Spanish? Alas, I would buy it and do it myself but it's hard to pay for it and still have so much to do. How do you make it six weeks without a paycheck :o)?

Hi Lisa,

I just bought your writing poster for the beginning writers. I LOVE IT! The thing is, I don't have internet at home (LONG STORY....I now live in the boonies with no high speed internet for the next 5 years). Anyway, I do all of my downloading of material at school. BUT, I don't have my own computer at school nor do I have a color printer at school. That is at home. What I usually do is download my purchases to a zip drive and then print them at home. With this file, it does not allow me to save it at all. It seems to be password protected. Is there a way that you could unlock it for me OR send it to me in a different file format. I download at school on a MAC but my home computer is a PC. I would love to use this with my kids. . .just don't have the means to do so at the moment. Thanks.

Hi Jenn! No worries! I think I have the fix. When you download the file, drag it OUT of your download folder on to your desktop. Once you open it, make sure it opens with Adobe Reader and NOT Preview (which is the default on a Mac). Now you can go to file and save a copy (you will get a pop up that says you can only save a copy - which just means you can't change it). Click OK and tell it where to save it. :-) Also, you can download as many copies as you need from "my purchases" (just another way to get multiple copies if you need them). I hope this helps. If not, let me know and we'll get it sorted out!
Thanks so the nice comment too!!

You have helped my students learn to read, learn to spell, add, subtract, "do" fractions, and numerous other skills. Now I want them to do something most "autistic" children do not do... write! We already do handwriting, tracing, building, spelling, and writing words, but they do not write sentences. Is there a sequence to your "Write My Way" lessons? Where does it begin... is there a bridge between writing words and writing extremely simple sentences?

Hi Kasper68! No worries. I think I can help. Once you have downloaded the file, drag it out of your download folder on to your desktop. Open it (make sure you open it with adobe reader and not preview - which is the default on a Mac sometimes). Once it is open in adobe reader, you can go to file and "save a copy". You will get a pop up telling you that you can only save a copy (and not make any changes). Click OK and save it where you want it to be.

Let me know if this does NOT work.

Also, you can always go to "my purchases" and download as many copies as you need.

I hope this helps!!
Regards,
Lisa

HI Jan! I'm a little confused... you can open and see the whole file before actually downloading it? I didn't think this was possible. What happens when you click "download"? If nothing happens, then TPT may be able to help.

If you don't get this resolved, message me here again and I'll see if I can help!! I haven't heard of this problem before and want to know how it gets fixed so I can help anyone else who may encounter the same thing.
Thanks so much!!

Hi Marci! Yes, set 1 and 2 are also available in PDF form. However, I did create a bundle of the 3 sets for smartboard use and plan to bundle the PDF sets together as well. In fact, I'm working on bundling the PDF sets today. If you are a follower, you will get an email when I post the bundle. If you would rather purchase them individually, they are here.

These 2 sets are easier than set 3.

Hello!
I just ordered your Simple Addition & Subtraction Story Problems. I didn't realize it was for a smartboard and now can't open it. Is there any way you can send this in another format so I can use it? Thanks

MissPurvis211 re: Telling Time Half Hour (half past) SmartBoard Lesson
Hi Lisa! I love your telling time Lesson 2, I was wondering if you had a Lesson 1? Also, I am desperately trying to download the lesson plan etc as I am using my home computer, but am unable to. Would it be possible for you to email it to me?!? I would be so grateful!

Hello! I'm so glad you like the lesson! I'll to help... first, make sure you have smart notebook (software) on your computer. This is a smart notebook file and requires Notebook software in order to open it. If you don't have Notebook software, unfortunately, this file will not open. If you do have Notebook software and are just having trouble getting it on your computer, you can try dragging it out of your download file first before trying to open it. There are 2 other telling time lessons in my Math Category (time on the hour and time on the quarter hour). Both are .notebook files. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, just leave me another message! If my lesson doesn't work for you, I hope you find some other great resources on TPT!!
Regards,
Lisa

cvteach re: Write New Year's Resolutions Cloze Sentences Lesson Beginning Writers
Is the complete Write My Way program available yet? I teach 1st grade and am interested in the k/1st level. I think that would fit my student's need. (I have downloaded the scope and sequence.) I was wanting to price the entire set before I start buying individual bundles. Thank you for filling a huge writing instuction need. Happy New Year!

Hello Carolyn!! Thank you so much for your interest in my writing program!! I have the entire program posted in my TPT store. If you purchase all the bundles (there are 7) the cost is $56.45. All the products within each bundle are also sold separately (...in case you only wanted one of the lessons instead of all of them for any particular bundle. That way you don't have to purchase a lesson if you think it will not meet your needs.) There are additional products that are not included in the bundles (i.e. Fix the Sentences for First Graders, Interview Me! a speaking, listening, and shared writing activity, etc.) that can be purchased individually. I would LOVE to be able to post the entire program in one BIG download but can only upload files under 100mb on TPT. That is why I created bundles (some of the bundles are pretty close to the limit). I appreciate your kind words and hope that my writing products will help you teach your little ones to become good writers!! :-) If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me again. I'm thrilled to share my writing materials with other teachers and students! Happy New Year to you too!
Regards,
Lisa

Hi Jane! I think I can help. Once you download the product, drag it out of your download folder on to your desktop. Open it (make sure it opens with adobe reader and not preview if you are using a Mac). You can now "save a copy" of the document. You will get a pop up saying you can only save a copy (meaning you can't make any changes). Click OK and it will save a copy. If this doesn't work, let me know. :-)

jlambros re: Learn about Equivalent Equations SmartBoard lesson
I purchased this without realizing that I couldn't download it. Is there a program needed to use this lesson? Would you be able to create the same presentation, minus the interactive part, in power point?? Thanks for your help. Jennifer

Hi Jennifer!
No worries... you do need a program called Smart Notebook to open this file (if you have a Smart Board you would have it). Each interactive whiteboard has its own software. If you cannot use this file, just click "contact us" at the bottom of the page to email TPT and ask for a refund. I only offer this lesson in Notebook.
Thanks for your interest! I sure hope you find some other great resources on TPT!!

Hi! I don't have activinspire so I cannot test this. I have heard that some whiteboard software has an "import from notebook" feature. You could download one of my free smartboard lessons (from the freebie category) and see what happens. I'm guessing that, even with the import feature, not everything would work as it should. If my smartboard lessons don't work for you, I sure hope that you find some other great resources on TPT!!

HI Jeannie! I think I can help. Try this... drag the file out of your download folder on to your desktop. Then, open it (make sure it opens with Adobe Reader and not preview... if you are on a MAC, preview may be your default). When you go to "save", it will just give you a warning that you can only save a copy (you can't make any changes). Save a copy. Let me know if that does not work.

Hi! I hope I can help. First, I always ask if you have Smart Notebook software installed on your computer. This is a .notebook file and requires Notebook software to open. If you don't have this software, unfortunately this file will not open. You can click "contact us" at the bottom of the page, email TPT and request a refund. If you DO have smart notebook and the file is not opening, send me another message and I'll see what I can do to trouble shoot for you.

rhodamarx re: Addition & Subtraction Story Problems SMART BOARD sets 1-3
Lisa, I thought this would work with my ActivInspire software on my school laptop and interactive whiteboard. I still think it will, but am having a hard time trying to figure out how to download it. Do you know if it is compatible? And if so, can you give me any hints about downloading it? I am excited about this "find" and want to use it right away!

Lisa Rombach  (TpT Seller)
Hello rhodamarx! Oh, I wish I had the activInspire software so I could answer your question... I've been asked this question so many times (I have a Smart board with notebook software only). I don't know if it will work or not. You should just be able to click "download" from "my purchases", drag it out of the downloads on to your desktop and open it up (if you have Smart Notebook software). I have heard that some whiteboard software has an "import from notebook" option, but I don't know which one. If you cannot open this, you can click "contact us" at the bottom of the page and request a refund (which is a bummer, I know). I do sell a PDF version of these story problems (they are listed as Printable Addition and Subtraction Story Problems and are in the math category of my store... but you could also project them, they just won't be interactive). Right now they are just in individual sets as I haven't had time to bundle that version yet (but I plan to do it over the holiday break).
I hope this helps! Thanks so much for your "excitement"! I hope you will be able to use the file!!!
Regards,
Lisa

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught first grade for 22 exciting years! Creating educational materials has been so much fun and I'm thrilled to be able to share them with other teachers here on TPT!! I specialize in smart board lessons, writing lessons for beginning writers and a variety of other products for the k-2 teacher! I hope these materials will provide teachers with useful resources for their primary classrooms.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I want my students be excited to learn new things and using technology really helps me engage them in learning! My classroom is a busy, busy place! My students are encouraged to take risks and to make mistakes! When a student makes a mistake and learns something new, I always say "WOW, we just watched you get smarter!" I hope they will always feel safe enough to take risks and learn something new!

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I have taught first grade for 22 years and I still have fun every day! I love using technology to excite and engage my students in my lessons. My SmartBoard would have to be my favorite tool in my classroom. The children LOVE using "Smartie" and I LOVE creating exciting lessons with the Smart Notebook software. I've also created a writing program, Write My Way... lessons for beginning writers, and I'm excited to be able to share it with other teachers through TPT! I am also addicted to photography and photoshop! If I'm not working on educational materials, you can find me taking and editing photographs!
