Hi Melissa,
I purchased the vocabulary cards at the beginning of this school year with high hopes of using them. Didn't get around to it and so am going to work on it this summer. Can't download the pics from your website. Can you email the document to me, katmillion@hotmail.com ? I hope you do a second round of these for when I loop up to second grade! Hint, hint!

mrw63 re: More Drawing Conclusions Jeopardy
Hello~~

I purchased and am downloading your "more drawing conclusions jeopardy". Your instructions say to "print category labels on Avery labels and stick on back of detail cards or print and glue on backs of cards". I am not seeing this as an option in the package. Am I missing something

There should be a page of small labels for you to print. Email me at mjtmcmurray@gmail.com and I can directly send you the page of labels.

I LOVE our Daily Data questions and have bought every month (I think). I am wondering if you could also sell a set of editable ones so that I can customize if needed. For example, we are studying space; so, I would love to design my own about space onto your same template. Just a request.....

Hi there

I love your Jump Around Skip Counting activity and I have started following you and posted a rating and comment, but I just realised it might appear like blatant marketing of my own TPT shop, which I am not doing...I am just a sharer, so I was wondering if you could let me know when you have read it and I will delete it, as I just wanted to share back with you, so that I was giving back something to thank you for your great work?

Hi Melissa,
I LOVE your counting mats and used them all the time last year. I was wondering, since the standards have changed for first grade, and they now need to count to 120, would you consider adding on to the counting charts so the go to 120? That would be really wonderful if you did!!

Thanks for sharing your creation :)

Hi Melissa. I taught kindergarten for 11 years and now I'm teaching first grade! Plus this school year marks the first year using the common core at my school. My question to you is does your daily data incorporate the common core standards? And if I try out your first few months and buy all of them from you, do you give out discounts. Thanks for your time. Jami

Melissa McMurray  (TpT Seller)
This is also my first year using common core math standards. I have not aligned these activities with common core, so it is not noted on the product which standards are met. But many of our 1st grade standards are met through these activities. I have not made the daily data packs for Oct, Nov, Dec, or Jan yet but after I do I plan on putting them all together as a big set and setting a lower proce for all of them. But, I'm going slow and just doing one per month so that won't happen for a while. Email me at mjtmcmurray@gmail.com and I'll send you part of one of the packs to see if you want to use them or not. Thanks Jami!

juju2 re: Math Daily Routines - Secret Number of the Week
I love how easily this is understandable with clear directions. I teach kindergarten and I wonder if your samples get into 2 digit numbers or how relevant would your cards be for kindergarten--how much might I need to adapt?
July 28, 2012 Report inappropriate comment
n/a
Melissa McMurray  (TpT Seller)
They do get into two digits and one week is the number 100. Some of the clues get into multiplexer of 5 and 10 which I just explain means a # you say when you count by 5 or 10. It also gets into tens and ones and odds and evens. I think if you just use a 100's chart and mark numbers off that it couldn't be-based on the clues- your kids will be able to see patterns and make pretty accurate guesses. I start with small numbers (1-20) for the first few months before I jump to the larger numbers. It's definitely geared more towards first grade I'd say but that's not to say kinders aren't capable. I hope that helps!

Hi Melissa!
I love your daily data idea!! I teach in Canada and I was wondering how much "American" stuff is included- I think most of our holidays are the same with the exception of our "Thanksgiving" being in October while yours is November. If there much "US" only content or do you think it will be okay for my little Canucks? :)

So sorry I'm just now responding! My mind is on summer break! Thank you so much for the kind words!! I have tried to include all the big and little holidays but like you said, I think it's all stuff that would apply to you too with the exception of Thanksgiving. I haven't made the pack for November yet, but I do plan to include Thanksgiving. I'm including 5 weeks worth of materials for each month and you would usually only need 4 of the 5 weeks so if there is one that you don't think fits in you could skip it and still have enough to last the whole month. Hope that helps. I hope to have August through January posted later this month.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

This is my 9th year teaching; my 8th in first grade. I love teaching children at this age. They are excited to learn and love school! In first grade children make progress so quickly and you can really see them learning new things. I love to see the light come on in their eyes when they are catching on to something new- so rewarding!

MY TEACHING STYLE

Reading block consumes most of my day and it is set up as a "workshop". I teach small reading groups while other students complete independent work stations. Lately I've been trying to set up math in the same way. By teaching smaller groups of students at a time I can individualize my lessons to better meet their needs.
