I asked earlier in the week about the First Grade Helper. I can not get it to print clearly. Is there anyway for you to email me the document. I'm not sure if the problem is occuring when it is downloading or what but my tech guys at school have spent quite a bit of time looking at it and can not seem to get it to print clearly either. They suggested having it emailed. Thanks for your help!
May 24, 2013
marciamcdonald22 re: My Second Grade Helper
I love your helper but I can't print it. I tried on two different printers and both computers froze up each time. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks!
May 23, 2013
Michelle Oakes (TpT Seller)
Just hit print, then click advanced and click print as image the hit print. If that doesn't work, please let me know.
May 23, 2013
katied1980 re: Summer to Second
Anyway you can include books below GRL G for our firsties that are at a lower reading level? You wouldn't need to include as many examples of the lower levels since fewer children need those. Thanks
May 23, 2013
leelee1602 re: My First Grade Helper
I love this tool and can not wait to use it with my students next school year. I am trying to edit the word wall with my classroom words and when I finish and print the whole document looks blurry. I've tried downloading the new adobe reader but that didn't seem to help. Do you have any suggestions?
May 20, 2013
Michelle Oakes (TpT Seller)
I'm not sure why that would be. I'm going to be revamping it and making it easier to edit soon. Hopefully as soon I upload the new version it will be much nicer for you. I haven't heard of that problem though. I'm sorry.
May 20, 2013

I love your Summer packet for 1st grade. Would you happen to have or know where I can get a Summer packet for Kindergarten? Let me know?

Alexis Moore (TpT Seller) re: Staying Fit For First
Hi! This packet is fabulous! Quick question: Would you mind if I emailed this to parents or would you rather me print/copy it for them? I am hoping to save some paper and let them do the printing, but I don't want to infringe on your copyright/sharing guidelines.
Thanks for the information :)
Alexis

Thanks, Michelle. I've checked my purchases, and it still shows nothing. Is there any way for you to resend it or cancel the purchase and we try again? Sorry...trying to figure out how this works!
May 17, 2013
Michelle Oakes (TpT Seller)
You'll have to contact TpT. I can't do anything about purchases. I'm so sorry. All the money and sales go through TpT. You can put a ticket in with them and they'll get right back to you.

Amandak417 re: Dollar Store Superlatives: End of the Year Awards
Hey Michelle! I love your awards...they are so cute. I do have one question. Would you be able to send me 1 or 2 of the templates without the title and text underneath it so that I can customize it for an additional awards? I would be very appreciative :-)

I purchased these awards earlier today, and they were actually my very first TPT purchase. I immediately got a Paypal email, but I haven't received anything with the download, and my account doesn't show a purchase. Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong!
May 16, 2013
Michelle Oakes (TpT Seller)
Yes...You have to go to your TpT dashboard and where it says MY TPT and click my purchases. You will never be sent a file, your files always stay there and you download them. :)

Mrsrobinson4 re: Staying Fit For First
This may sound crazy... but I just purchased this packet, however I meant to get the summer to second grade packet. Is there any way you can delete it from my purchases and I can get the second grade one?

Alyssa Vickers (TpT Seller) re: Summer to Second
I'm having a hard time printing the packet... Would you mind possibly sending it to me via email? It only prints the first two pages and stops.
May 9, 2013
Michelle Oakes (TpT Seller)
Please hit Print, the click Advanced, the click Print as Image and print. If that doesn't work, I'll definitely email you.
May 9, 2013
ChristyKTN (TpT Seller) re: Summer to Second
Can you redo page 31 so that the first row of pictures are darker? For some reason PDF has made it too light to show up when I tried to copy it on the RISO machine. Thanks! (The page is called Summer Fun, Read and Match)
May 8, 2013
Michelle Oakes (TpT Seller)
I will try to get that done. I did make a bunch of changes and added pages.

Hi Michelle,
I purchased the summer to 2nd journal. There is a grammatical error on the Language Arts direction page in the second sentence. (ironic, huh?)

I still can not download your April/May monthly morning work. Only part of the download shows up on my computer. My computer says there's insufficient data. I've tried several different things to download this. It looks like this download is the original one that I bought. I am off this week and I am trying to get things ready for next week. I know this happened once before and you sent it to me another way. I think it was by email. If not how do I solve this problem? I already own your other ones. Thank You!

corcorn2 re: Super Sight Words Pack
I know this question has been asked 100 times, but I just received an editted version of the sight words from my district and they don't match up very well anymore :-/ I have been using this all year and love it but is there any way to edit it or anything? There are probably 30 - 50 words that this pack doesn't cover that my district requires, but I definitely don't want to stop using it next year!
