lukeandcalliesmom re: Western States-'Our United States Series' 32-Page Thematic Booklet
Mary

I bought the Western States package and it is great. Unfortunately, when I get to the teacher answer pages, all of the answers are messed up. It almost looks like a foreign language with numbers and symbols thrown in among the letters. I can't read any of the answers. Can I get another PDF?

Hi Lukeandcalliesmom,

I just looked at the PDF file on the TPT server and everything appears normal. The Teacher's Edition includes all the answer pages and starts at page 39. Do these pages look normal? It sounds like your download may have gotten corrupted. Try downloading another copy and see if that works for you. If not please contact me again. Thank you.

Dear Becksters74--These activities align directly with common core standard 3.0A.A1. They can be used for directed teaching lessons, math centers, follow up activities, or homework. Hope this helps.

I'm still having the same problem with the 63 Math Timed Tests. I went into "My Purchases" and downloaded the file again. It has the same mistake on pg MM.

Hi Mary,

Is there an error on page MM (pg 39)? 1-4 are perimeter questions and the boxes for 5-16 are empty. It looks like there is supposed a questions using dot to dot grids, but they aren't there. There answer key for MM (pg 88) is also incomplete.

Thanks for your help. The product seems really great - I ordered it after downloading the free sample.

Thanks,
Tracy

Hi Tracy,

We uploaded a revision of this unit on September 9, 2012 which corrects the problem you mention. I just printed those two pages from the unit and they printed correctly. We just uploaded the same file to TPT again. Perhaps the first revision did not overwrite the original file with the error. Please download this file again and let me know if it does or does not print correctly for you. We apologize for the inconvenience. Mary Hopkins

Hi Bishal02,

I just printed a test page from the unit and it worked correctly. Are you opening the unit in Adobe Reader version 7 or higher? Try downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe Reader. This unit print correctly on two printers we have at home. Have you tried printing other pdf files to your printer. You might try rebooting your computer, and powering your printer off for a minute and then back on. Do you have another printer you could try printing to? Please let me know if you continue to have problems and we'll reply to you.

bookworm re: April 32-Page Thematic Lesson Plans Booklet
Hi Mary, I purchased your math journal for the month of March. Do you have one for April or May? My children loved it! Thank you.

Mary Hopkins  (TpT Seller)
Dear Bookworm, All of our monthly units contain math worksheets, but we don't have a math journal per se. There is another Mary Hopkins on Teachers Pay Teachers. Maybe the journal was her product. I am sending links to our April, May and June monthly units that you might like. Also, see the link to our 63 daily math timed tests. I used them for years and years with great success in my class. The kids kept up their math skills and loved the challenge. Best wishes, Mary Hopkins

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

For more than 35 years I have taught primary grades in a K-8 elementary district in the greater Los Angeles area. I have been teaching third grade since 1991. I also serve as pianist for our school's Glee Club. I have developed a very teacher-friendly series of 32- page reproducible instructional units which include one booklet for each school month (Sept.--June), 3 multicultural units--(Martin Luther King's Birthday, Cinco de Mayo, and Chinese New Year). My USA geography 32 -page units cover all major regions of the United States. These units have been in use since 1983, and have been very popular with both students and teachers. They have withstood the "test of time" and are not trendy and easily outdated.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My teaching style is to utilize thematic units to "teach across the curriculum". I use music in the classroom to enhance current study units. I give directed lessons, and also provide for kids to work together in pairs and small groups. I have incorporated fine arts into my curriculum in the form of needlepoint, and knitting--believing that these hands-on activities are important for well-rounded child development. I also team teach with two other teachers at my grade level in math, language arts, p.e., and fiber arts. Our class begins each day with a patriotic song taken from the unique songbook that I compiled. Our school is ethnically diverse, and the daily patriotic music serves as a unifying activity.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

My Glee Club teaching partner and I were recognized by the city of Monterey Park, California for service to our school's Glee Club and Hand Bell Choir. Although I do not direct the Bell Choir, I organized fund-raising events in the 1970's in order to purchase the "foundation" sets of bells. My own class has also performed songs and square dances for local civic occasions such as the annual "Play Days" carnival. I also served as Glee Club pianist in my former elementary site. I have had the experience of working with several student teachers.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I attended Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan with a double major in art history and studio art, graduating in 1972. I obtained my California Elementary Teaching Credential from Cal State LA in 1973. I enrolled in a distance Masters of Education program from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona, and completed my degree in 2002.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I am currently taking a wonderful low-tech class in weaving on an 8-harness floor loom. I am also learning to spin wool on a drop spindle. Other things I like are gardening, reading, and playing the piano. My husband and I co-produce the Ready Sets line of teaching units that we have been working on jointly since 1996.
