Don't worry about it! The activity is great and I am just as capable of translating it myself. I was of course hoping to download an activity that was already translated just to save myself the time! With the dirth of good resources available in Spanish I am just thrilled that you have such a large offering. I would be more than happy to accept any two resources that you have already translated by e-mail: alkjanes@gmail.com :)

Alisha Janes (TpT Seller) re: Context Clues: Types of Context Clues
The title of this resource led me to believe I was getting both the English and Spanish version, but upon downloading it I see that there is no Spanish. Do I have to download a separate file? Did I miss it somehow?
January 22, 2013
Marti Dryk (TpT Seller)
I am so sorry. All of my activities have been translated except those that aren't applicable to Spanish (certain phonics, etc., this being one of them. I just didn't realize that DIICE doesn't translate. It is the DIICE one isn't it?) I will have to edit the description. I can get it translated for you or send you two other lessons of your choice for free through email. It will take me a while to get the translation done. This is my misrepresentation and I take responsibility for it. What can I do to make it better? Marti Dryk drmdryk@austin.rr.com

Good Morning!! I don't know if you will remember me, but I talked to you a while back about cscope. I noticed you pinned some stuff on staar. Do you have anything on here or pinterest related to cscope? I would love to share it on my site. Let me know.

Yes, look on my site, MDLS, and they are posted under STAAR. I might also have have a Cscope board but I can't remember. Did you ever mention me to your principal? If you'll let me know specifically which PI, I can write them for you.

sorry to write again, but I spoke too soon, as apparently I cannot email you directly here, even seller to seller, so my email is KatieGarner.Juilliard@gmail.com
If you wouldn't mind shooting me a quick email I will shoot you one right back with my question.
Thanks so very much, and again, sorry to be a bother :)

Hi! I am also a seller here and wanted to let you know that I sent you a message.... thought I should let you know here, as if you are anything like me, you might not even know when you have messages piling up in the inbox, as no alert email gets sent. If you get the chance to read it and respond, I would greatly appreciate it!! Thanks!! :)

Hi! I am a Kindergarten teacher here in Texas. I have a question for you. Does your school use CSCOPE for curriculum? If so, how long? Our district just rolled it out for us to begin using it. I love it, but many of my colleagues are overwhelmed and do not like it at all. Did anyone on your faculty have the same problems? Can you tell me how your school overcame the issues? Of course these questions are assuming you do use it. I really appreciate any help you can give me.
