First of all, thanks for contacting me.
Second, no worries. We can fix this. If I need to, I can send you separate files for those awards until we figure this out.

Did you try redownloading the file? Was the last page there with suggested other products?

I have sometimes had a file stop in download because I ended the download.

Again, thanks for giving me a chance to help fix this. :)

Let me know if the end page downloaded. If not, try to download the set again and see what you get. If THAT doesn't work, email me at mrhughestptrequests@gmail.com and I will send you file directly.

Have a great day and let me know how it goes! :)

My students absolutely love your sight word mystery pictures! Is it helpful to let you know if we find mistakes in the pictures? For example, the May Set 1 Picture 1 has the word "them" listed in both the grey and yellow boxes. We've noticed mistakes other months, but I didn't know if letting you know was helpful or if it really didn't matter. Thanks for all your wonderful work! You make a group of students at our modern one-room schoolhouse in WV very happy!

First of all, I am so pleased that you all love my mystery pictures. WAHOO!
Secondly, YES PLEASE- always tell me when you find errors. Mrs. Hughes and I work like crazy to catch all those errors. We even color the pictures. But after seeing it for the many hours it takes, we obviously miss some. I always make the correction and upload a new version for you to download. So, if you can think of the other errors, I would LOVE to have those. You can even email me at: mrhughestptrequests@gmail.com with a month, set, picture #, and error. That would be totally awesome! Thank you SO much for letting me make the corrections without giving me poor feedback. I really appreciate it.

Have a most wonderful day!

My 6th grade students had difficulty completing this activity because one of the strips didn't quite work. They had to take out the strip that started with "THEM" as the answer, and then the activity worked fine. So they didn't quite make it up to the end of the Order Up. They still enjoyed it, but I thought you might like to know that there was a typo :)

Hello-
First of all HOW EMBARRASSING is THAT? Ha ha. I deeply apologize for the error. The questions were ordered right on the answer key, and when I mixed them up for the student edition, I mixed up those two answers. I have corrected it and another error I found in the wording of the last question.

Thank you so much for letting me know that there was an error and letting me fix it before rating the item. I truly appreciate that.

I would love to offer you a complimentary set of Order Up! of your choice for the pain. Just e-mail me at: mrhughestptrequests@gmail.com with the title or link to the set you would like and I will send it right out! :)

Also, the updated version of Pronouns had been added and you can download the corrected set from your "My Purchases" section. Thanks again and have a great night.

Howdy Ruth-
The way I aligned it was to look for wording that would relate to sentences and writing. These are from the writing portion 3.L.2, for example.
I am going with the premise that in order for students to identify sentences, they must be able to capitalize and punctuate correctly.

Howdy!
Thanks for your question.
I will definitely be doing so. :) I usually add the new sets about 1-2 weeks before the next month. We are currently in production of the March sets.

If you have requests for parts to be covered I would love input for future sets!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Hi Mr Hughes,
You asked me to get in touch when I'd created some more animal clip art. I've finally got them all done and you can check them out here if you're still interested.

omaram re: Fairy Tale Court- A One Act, Three Scene Play Written for Children
I am a parent volunteer who has agreed to do a school play for my sons who are in fourth grade. There are 60 total 4th graders, not all of whom will be interested. This will be an evening production for parents to view... is this a good pick for this sort of play? Are costumes and set difficult?

Thanks for any insights.

Greetings!
Thanks for your questions.
First of all, the play runs about 20-25 minutes total, depending on how you choose to run it.

60 students is a lot- most could be included at courtroom audience members on stage that react to what is happening.

Sets can be very minimal or very elaborate. I have done it with both. It is a court room set up so a place for the judge, (the parents/audience members are the jury), the on-stage audience, and the reporters (who act as narrators).

What makes this play fun is that the audience members get to vote whether the character is guilty or innocent. Anytime I have done this play, students brought their own costumes. Again, these can be elaborate or simple.

Parents have been invited to any performance I have directed and have LOVED it!

If you choose to buy and perform, I am completely willing to help/advise in anyway possible.

I hope this helped to answer your questions. Have a great day.

Hi Mr. Hughes, I purchased your rectangle round-up and it won't let me save it. It asks me for a password to unlock it. Can you help me out? I love the resource.. and I hail from Casper WY. I'm thinking about selling on TPT. Have you had a good experience selling here?

Howdy!
Welcome to TpT. I think you will really like it here. I am sorry you are having an issue with this resource.
Thanks for choosing my resource. This has been an issue for a few people and I can't for the life of me figure out WHY!

One solution is to right click on the download link and "save target as".

A second solution is to ensure that you are not in a preview version of your PDF reader.

If these don't work, please email me at: mrhughestptrequests@gmail.com and I can send you an alternate file.

No fears, we will get you a file you can open and save.

Thanks for contacting me and I look forward hearing from you about your success in opening and saving OR that you still need assistance.

As far as selling, I have been on here less than a year and have really enjoyed the networking with other teachers as well as the extra money that can be made. :)

May I ask what PDF reader you are using? I really want to resolve this issue for future buyers.

Have a great night!
Mr. Hughes

Devin Warfield re: "Book Report Menu" Kit
Hello! I just downloaded your product, and I really like the options that the menu gives to the students; however, while looking at all of them, I began thinking of how I would grade each one. I started feeling overwhelmed thinking about making rubrics for each one, which, in my opinion, would be the best. The "song" option, for instance. Do you have suggestions on how to grade them? Thanks!

Greetings!
Thanks for this great question. I appreciate your concern about grading. I made one rubric that covered ALL the projects. I agree that a separate one for each would be ideal, but found that by having a rubric that was 50% presentation and 50% project, I was able to grade in a consistent way. I am always hesitant to include rubrics because all teachers have a difference of opinion when it comes to points and levels.

My rubric if VERY basic. If you would like me to share a copy with you so you can get an idea of what I did, you can e-mail me at: mrhughestptrequests@gmail.com and I would love to share it with you! :)

I hope this helps. If you don't like my rubric, you could always make rubrics as students choose those projects so you would only be making a few at a time.

Thanks again,
MrHughes :0)

Hello!
Thanks for your support, feedback, and suggestions. Never fear. I do plan to do an entire year's worth, and then start even more. As long as my wife and think of pictures to make, I will have sets ready for you. We are just starting on the February sets this weekend and hope to have them done soon. I am hoping for TWO in February!

Thanks again for your kind words, they have made my whole day.

P.S. If you have specific requests for included parts of speech or combinations of skills, I would love your input!

I love this project and so do the kids, but I realized as they were finishing it that there was no grade sheet or rubric for it. Do you have anything available for evaluation?

Hello!
Funny you should ask that. I have been working on a rubric for this kit, but have been hesitant to add it since every teacher has such differing views of what should be included. If you want to e-mail me at: mrhughestptrequests@gmail.com, I will send you copy of my work in progress for you to use. I would love to hear your opinion on it as well. Let me know! :)
Thanks for your question,
