morgan7460 re: Main Idea/Irrelevant Details Activity with PPT
After buying your activity, I was not able to open your Main Idea/Irrelevant Details Activity with PPT. I was wondering if there was any way you could resend me the power point so I can use it in my class. Thank you

I just bought your fluency triangles. The pictures are not blurry; however, some of the pages, the bottom of the triangle cuts off half of the sentence, and on others, it doesn't even show the last sentence. Do you have any suggestions.
Thanks!
Thanks!

cassandraskar re: Summary Bingo
Hi, I just downloaded this BINGO game for my 5th graders and I am very excited to try it with them. I am having the same problem as the other users, in that I can't seem to download the paragraphs. I did find the file, but when I downloaded it I only received some of the paragraphs. Much of the file that I downloaded was code. I did receive all of the cards with no problem.

I am having the same problem locating the paragraphs that I am to read. Please advise.

The first bingo card has the call sheet with it. I think it is titled Summary Bingo. Let me know if you still can't find it.

kathylas re: Summary Bingo
hello! I purchased your bingo game but can not locate the paragraphs I am supposed to read that support the game. Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks!
December 31, 2012
Michael Markezinis (TpT Seller)
The first file I think titled Summary Bingo has a bingo card and the call sheet. I should have made a separate file for the call sheet. Let me know if you still can't find it.

clsa54 re: Math Mimio Lessons Graphs and Input Output Machines
I was not able to open either file. Any tips?
November 27, 2012
Michael Markezinis (TpT Seller)
You will need to install the Mimio software on your computer before you can open it. Google Mimio software and then download. If you already have the software or it still wont open let me know.

michellehorak re: Summary Bingo
I downloaded this game but there is no "call sheet" for the teacher to use. Please let me know where to find it. thanks.
November 8, 2012
Michael Markezinis (TpT Seller)
It should be in there, you might be missing it due to the number of files in the folder. Look again and let me know, if you still can't find it you can leave your email and I'll email it to you. Thank you for purchasing the item I really appreciate it!
I went back and looked and it is with the first bingo card titled summary bingo

crackers re: Main Idea Bingo Cards
This is incredibly cumbersome to download and print. Any suggestions?
September 23, 2012
Michael Markezinis (TpT Seller)
Just open each card and resize the cells so they fit on one page. Then print. You will have to print each card separately. Unless you cut and paste into one document, which is what I should have done when I created this. I may go back and change it.

I just purchased your Main Idea Bingo cards and the cards are showing fine in excel, but the calling card is in word and is a bunch of numbers and # signs. Any idea what is causing this. I'm running windows 07.

Great resource, love the skills connection (Reading, ELA, Soc. Studies). Regarding the story "The Alamo", question 11 is missing. Look forward to hearing from you.

How many unique bingo cards are there? I want to be certain I can play this without everyone bingo-ing at once. THanks!

I love these! Do you have them saved as a PDF? Each card is printing out on four sheets.
