FEEDBACK
Maria Thoeni (TpT Seller)
I love this. It is a great visual for parents to understand despite language barriers, easy for a teacher to fill out, and an on the desk reminder for students to follow correct procedures. I tape this to a student's desk and just fill in a bubble when he makes a mistake. I might add a spot to put a goal for students to achieve by the end of the week ( for example: "I will have fewer than 10 bubbles filled in this week.")

Great resource thank you!
Maybe a Mat 2 could include words ending in f/fe?
Thanks for such a clear, compact aid.

This teacher has done her homework again! I have the Math Unit that she did and when I saw this one to go with it - I HAD to have it! It follows the Common Core and does it with ease. You can tell she took time to make sure it was in line with what Common Core is stating. The kids LOVE IT! Which is even more important! Great price for a great unit! Thanks again - please keep up the good work - you have wonderful ideas that really engage the learner! Can't wait to see more:)

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Scipi (TpT Seller) re: Student Help Mat - Singular to Plural Forms
I saw your store on the home page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. Here are a few suggestions that might help you to better market your products.
Add a cover page for each of your products which can then be used as an attractive thumbnail to entice buyers even if that resource is only one page long. You are competing with over 29,000 sellers so you want your products to stand out. You might also add a second page which is a directions or suggestions page for the teacher. (How do use this? When? Etc.) List several ways you use this product in your classroom. Never assume that a buyer knows how, why, or when to use your product.
Use the footer to put the copyright symbol, your name and date of creation on EVERY page. Here is how you do that. Use the insert and go to the right. You should see symbols there. Insert the copyright symbol, your name and date. It should look something like this: © V. Rauch (Scipi), 2011 Items, especially free ones, have been "stolen" from TPT and posted on other sites to be sold. You have to protect all of your creations. Also number your pages.
Finally, make sure your free items really represent your store and are something a potential buyer would want. Feel free to look at any or all of my freebies listed below to gather some ideas.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
5 Years Experience Teaching 1st Grade Curriculum.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I enjoy using collaborative grouping strategies because it increases the number of actively engaged students. I feel this method gives students the opportunity to express their understanding to their peers while helping peers to better understand in return. I like to give students time to practice their skills without relying on paper and pencil.
