My kids love roll and graph and spin and graph activities. Wish this had an option for adding up the values- but I will print my own. Thanks for creating this.

There are only 12 total problems in the set. I had hoped to use this as a whole class activity but it will have to be a small group instead.

tkellerv re: Word Family Mailbox Sort Literacy Activity
Meg,
I just downloaded this activity after reading the comment about blank template. It is a great activity, but doesn't cover some of the word families we teach. I thought it would include a blank so I could add our word families. I know you are busy, but are you thinking of adding a blank template?
Thanks!

I replied to this a couple of weeks ago and for some reason it is not showing up...I just had a beautiful baby boy last week so this has been a crazy few months! I promise this so on my to do list and as soon as I upload the updated version you will be able to re-download it. So sorry for the delay...thanks you so much for your purchase!

There are six frames to give them time to write sentences with the words. Thanks! :)

This file will not open...I am unable to print. Is there an error with the way that it was uploaded onto this site.
December 3, 2012
Meg Cooksey (TpT Seller)
I am sorry you are having trouble. I'm not sure what the issue is. It is a fairly large file and took several minutes for me to download but I just did it and it worked fine. You may need to contact customer service because I'm not sure what could be going on. Let me know what you find out.

kathy721 re: Word Family Mailbox Sort Literacy Activity
Meg,
is there any way to get a blank template of the mailboxes and the envelopes to add or change the words families to match the ones my students are working on?

That's a great idea! I will work on that! When I get it updated TpT should send you a message and you will be able to re-download it at no cost. It may be a little bit since our school is starting back up but it's on my to do list! Thanks so much for your support!
