Too cute! I already have a clip chart. Would you be willing to sell just the parent letter and weekly behavior chart separately? Thanks! :)
May 11, 2013
Michaela Peterson (TpT Seller)
This is something I'm willing to look into in the future! It sounds like others may be interested in the same thing. Thank you for your suggestion and I'll let you know when and what I've decided to piece out. :) Thanks so much for your question!

Hi Belinda! I have updated the unit with the spelling "Mum"! Feel free to head over and purchase the unit! :) Thanks for your question.

I hit the download button and all I get is the picture no printable for the tags?? please send me the linkto print the tags please! thanks:)
April 22, 2013
Michaela Peterson (TpT Seller)
Hello! The link is the orange download now button beside the title. I just downloaded it from there and it worked, so I would recommend trying to download it one more time. Be sure to scroll down from the picture page to the other pages for the tags. If that doesn't work that I would try to contact TpT as it may be a problem coming from their site.
I hope this helps you!

lgeraci re: OWL-standing Behavior {An Owl Themed Clip Chart Behavior Management System}
Hi Michaela,
I purchased your behavior system and love it! The chart that I am using now is the same but the colors are reversed and all of my monthly behavior charts match the colors on my clip chart. Is there any way you could flip flop the colors for me starting with purple and going down to red? I see where you said you uploaded one with purple on top but I didn't see it in the file that downloaded. Thanks so much for the great product!

Hi there! I'm a PTO mom and looking to make tags for our teachers. Love your tag, but want it to say "you're o fish ally a great teacher" or something like that instead of a the grade. Is there a way I can get that? or get the image in a format I can change?
thanks so much!!!

Hi Amy! Sorry I was out of town last week. I love your idea of making the tags for teachers! I have quite a bit on my plate right now, but I will put it on my To-Do List and report back here when it is finished. I'm sorry that I can't guarantee a specific date that it will be done, but I will try to hurry :)
**update** I haven't forgotten about you Amy, but I'm sad to say that I've been looking for the original document to edit these files and it doesn't seem to be in my system!! I have the pdf, but I can't edit those. I'm so sorry! If I find it somehow I will let you know. Sorry again for the wait.

Hi Shelly!
I started writing the poems after I was finished with the first 3, but I thought it would be fun to have a poem for each of those as well. I'm out of town visiting my mom this week, so it will probably be a little bit till I have them done. I will be sure to let you know though as soon as they are added.
Thanks so much!

February 27, 2013
Michaela Peterson (TpT Seller)
Hi cajunteacher!
This is a tough one since every printer is different. I have sold a number of these and had no complaints about the printing, so I'm assuming that it may be your printer? Have you tried "print fit to page"? Perhaps you could try from a different printer? I know that TpT suggests making sure you have an updated version of Adobe Reader and to be sure that you're not in the preview version.
I'm so sorry, I realize how frustrating it can be when you are on a deadline and need something right away.
Please let me know if there's any other way I can help!
P.S. Be sure that if you are passing this out to other teachers that you purchased additional licenses for each. Thanks and please let me know how it goes! :)

morseme1 re: An Understanding Listener {7 Habits Craftivity #5}
I purchased your Put First Things First craftivity and it worked well with my kinders. This is suggested for 1-3, and it's hard for me to tell if it would be appropriate for kinder based on the images. Can you tell me if you think it would work, or if it is a bit too much? Please and Thank you.
February 21, 2013
Michaela Peterson (TpT Seller)
Thanks for your question! I think you could make it work with your Kinders if the Put First Things First craftivity worked well. There is a poem that you would probably have to read aloud, but your Kinders could highlight sight words that they know. There is also a labeling page. I would suggest that you hand out the label sheets when the time comes and read the top box together and cut out one at a time and glue as a class. So overall I think it would just take a little more teacher involvement.
I hope this helps!

Hi Heather!
I'm so glad you love the tags and so sorry you are having problems with them. I went ahead and printed them off again on my personal computer and both of those items printed. I've sold quite a few of these and they've all worked.
Perhaps there is something going on with your printer. I know that on the purchased page, TpT suggests this when having printing problems: "on a MAC or PC, install the latest version of ADOBE READER. Then, open the file with ADOBE READER. That's it. On a MAC, make sure to "Open With" ADOBE READER and NOT Preview. If it's still blurry, that's because you are still opening it with Preview."
If you re-download it and you try these options and it's still not working please let me know. You can e-mail me at teachermichaela@gmail.com
I certainly want you to be happy with your purchase and for it to work for you! :) Keep me posted.

We have done your first one, are doing Habit 2 and your second one next week, and would love to purchase them for Habits 3-7 in the coming weeks. Would you be willing/able to make them if they are not already available? THANKS!! :D

Michaela Peterson (TpT Seller)
I will do my best! So glad you like them!! Hope to finish at least another this week. :)
**UPDATE** Habit #3 is up "Put First Things First" Enjoy! :) *Be sure to purchase the multiple licenses if it is for more than one classroom (that way it's cheaper than purchasing them all separate) Thanks again! :)

Thank you so much! I mainly use Keynote for a Mac. Then I convert it to a secured PDF. For the owl unit the parts that are editable are editable in PowerPoint. Great question!

I am interested in your posters but I need to be able to make the words black ink, otherwise my kids can't read them across the room, can I do this? Thanks.
October 24, 2012
Michaela Peterson (TpT Seller)
Yes! When you open the posters (after you've downloaded the corresponding font) you will highlight the words you want to be black, and change the fill font color to black. It should work beautifully! :)

If I purchase this set, would you be able to modify/add a page to say the following?
When I was little I used to ___________________, just like you.
Let me know if this is possible and how soon you might be able to do so if that works! Thanks!

I know that is huge but I have a loooong wall and the kiddos can't see the size card you made. they will love working on them i n centers though! I would be soooo thrilled if you can do this! Just let me know! Cindy cja1st@gmail.com

Hi Michaela,
I am the book review editor for the Tchr2Tchr collaborative blog. I wanted to invite you to be a guest reviewer and write a book review for us. You could review the 7 Habits book and link your reflective journal at the bottom of the review. My daughter's school uses that book and it is great! Book reviews can be short; the minimum is 200 words, so a paragraph or two. We would also link your store and your blog (if you have one) to the review. It's great exposure!
If you're interested you can find all of the details here:
http://tchr2tchr.blogspot.com/p/collaborate.html
Thanks for considering collaborating with us!

How fun! Hi Neighbor. :)
I've only printed on card stock, but photo paper might be neat too. Honestly I haven't check to see if it's cost effective to print at Staples, but I think it's a great idea. They probably would have a good estimation of the cost differences if you asked them at Staples. Good Luck! (Sorry, I don't feel like this was very helpful.)
Please let me know if you have any other questions or anything else I can help you with. :)

I am trying to print your CAFE owl posters, but each time I do in color, the heading (Comprehension, Accuracy) prints with black behind the letters. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks so much for your help!
August 28, 2012
Michaela Peterson (TpT Seller)
Hmmm... I haven't heard of this yet, but is it possible that your printer is printing the shadow in black instead of gray? Have you tried going to the "My Purchases" page and downloading the latest edition of Adobe and trying to download the CAFE posters again, and then re-printing? Let me know if that works!

Hello Michaela,
I LOVE your behavior system the owls you use are very unique and adorable. I work in special education, and my students have it in their minds that red=bad. Although I dislike this, it's hard to change 11+ years of thought. Is there any way that you could flip the colors? I was hoping to have purple as the top and then red on the bottom.
Thank you so much!

I teach seventh grade and would love to lable my crates and bins for each block I teach. (one thru eight) I wanted to check before I make the purchase. Thank you, Bea

Michaela Peterson (TpT Seller)
Hi Bea! Thanks so much for your interest and question. The cool thing about this set is that there is a separate folder of editable pages that come with it (I believe 15 pages in all that are editable). As far as the "table number" labels, there are 2 styles of the large table numbers that come with the editable pages. They are the full page round circles that are next to the table numbers, if you download the preview on the owl theme page you can see them.
Your idea sounds great! Hope it works with this set!

mjpdx re: Customizable Owl Theme Posters
Hi. I love the poster set that I just purchased. However, it didn't print correctly. It was enlarged? I have printed many things today and everything was fine. I didn't change the printer settings in anyway. There was no background just the middle of the page. I did change the text size. Could that have messed up the printing?
Thanks
Thanks
August 17, 2012
Michaela Peterson (TpT Seller)
Hi there! For this set you must select "fit to page" when printing. I've never heard of the background not printing? If the "fit to page" doesn't work, other sellers have told their customers to select "print as a picture?" I haven't personally tried this, so I'm not sure how it works. If it doesn't work, you might want to re-download the file. I just downloaded it off of TpT and printed it and it seemed to do fine. Let me know if that helps!

Hello,
Great owl theme! I have been unable to save any of the pages as jpg. Adobe will allow me to add text, but only small text that isn't proportionate to the size of the graphics and not always going the correct direction. Is there a way to get a few of the pages sent via email to me as a .doc or a .jpg so that I can manipulate with text. for example the newsletter page. I am unable to add text that works.
thank you

Hi there! I'm not sure when you made your purchase, but I recently updated the file to include editable text boxes on the Newsletter and several other pages. You will need to go back to your purchases page and re-download the file (for free of course). It is a .zip file this time, and will include 2 folders...one being the original file that is a pdf and the other being a powerpoint file with about 15 editable pages from the original document.
I think this will work much better!
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. :)

hmmm... did you try to save in word, and then maybe you could type? I'm not sure what time of a time crunch you are on. I"m really trying to get the editable documents option up this week sometime, but it's a little slower going then I would like.
I will try to be speedy and then I'll let you know as soon as the editable version is available. :)

August 12, 2012
Michaela Peterson (TpT Seller)
Hi there! I'm so glad you like the set. :) Right now you have 2 options for editing. 1. On some updated Adobe Readers you can choose to insert a text box instead of the arrow pointer. If you can do that, the font is called Primer Print and you can download it for free on the internet (just google it). 2. If that's not an option you can save or export the blank pages as a jpeg and open it in word or powerpoint (I recommend powerpoint) and insert a text box there and use the font/color you want.
I hope this helps! Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you :)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have taught 1st/2nd grade for 7 yrs(A 1st and 2nd combo for 5 years and a straight 1st grade for 2 years!). I also taught Kindergarten overseas for a year. There is just something amazing about teaching young children. They have so many "light-bulb" moments! I also love being able to influence their characters to become positive and loving citizens of our school, community, nation and world!
MY TEACHING STYLE
I love group work and hands-on activities! If I can get the kids outside to do an activity even better!
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
I've been nominated a few times for "Who's Who Among Teachers" and have received many "You're the BEST teacher ever!" awards from my students. :)
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I have a B.S. in Elementary Education. I'm certified to teach all subjects K-8 and have endorsements to teach certain 9th-10th Grade classes.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
My husband (an Outdoor Education Director) and I love the out-of-doors and traveling the countryside to visit family! We are the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl, that keeps us on our toes. We are in pursuit of a simpler life that is focused on relationships with others, rather than things, and hope to glorify God in that pursuit. Teaching runs in my veins, and I'm constantly bouncing ideas off of my amazing mother, who teaches middle school in sunny Flor-i-day (LUCKY)!
