I haven't done this yet, but I'm always looking for outside literature to teach reading skills. It's so easy to just rely on what we're given when sometimes that's just not good enough!

Yes, this activity might be a better fit for primary grades. I find that my intermediate students can still use some help with these concepts though.

My students and I really enjoyed how this activity turned out! It really helped reinforce the concept!

lmschirmer re: Second Grade Back to School Pack - Start the year right!
I discovered when I went to download this product, that I do not the same version of powerpoint (mine is older). Is there anyway you can save the powerpoint portion in the older version?
May 19, 2013
Mrs Castro (TpT Seller)
Hi, could you contact me via email? The product that is here for download is not on PowerPoint, rather its a PDF. I think this might be easier to handle via email.
You can reach me here,

I really like your "How Many to 5? Math Work Station." Do you happen to have a "How Many to 10? Math Work Station"?
January 5, 2013
Mrs Castro (TpT Seller)
Hi, thanks for your interest in this. I haven't made a "How Many to 10" station, but I can work on that. I will try to complete it by tomorrow evening. Check back in then! Thanks!

I love, love, love this mini unit!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I am wondering if you could tell me the website you used to type on the handwriting form. I would greatly appreciate it.
December 5, 2012
Mrs Castro (TpT Seller)
Hi Laura,
Thanks for the positive feedback! I used the font "Penmanship Print". To create a continuous line, in between words or sentences I used the "`" key (next to the 1), instead of the space bar. I usually create things in PowerPoint, and then I can copy the text box and paste it as an image. This allows me to fit the text box to the paper/area better. I hope that helps! Happy creating!

Hi Daniela,
I went and looked at the product you purchased, and it looks like you got the writing craftivity. Included are three writing prompts in English and three in Spanish. Did you look past the English ones? I redownloaded the product to double check and I see the Spanish ones included.
Please let me know if you're still having problems! (my first reply, I thought you were referring to the activity pack, so disregard that). I hope this helps, if not let me know!
Mrscastrospanglishstyle@gmail.com
Thank you and I hope your kids enjoy this pack. Mine did!

The Spanglish Classroom (TpT Seller) re: First Grade Back to School Pack - Bilingual - Start the year right!
Hi, Laura! Quick question...
What is the difference between the 1st Grade Back to School Pack and the 2nd Grade one? I bought the 1st grade one and I used it for both grades, but since you sell 2 different packs I'm curious to know the difference. Thank you!

Mrs Castro (TpT Seller)
Hi there. There is a lot of overlap. Anything that says a grade level says second grade. Some of the activities are a bit more difficult for second graders. There is also an additional writing activity for second graders. If you email me I would be happy to work something out since you've already purchased a back to school product.

Hi Daniela,
I will work on this and have it ready on Saturday. I will add it to the original product, since I'm sure you're not the only one who needs this! If you already purchased the packet, don't worry I will just update it on Saturday. If you haven't already purchased it but want to get started on the project before next week, go ahead and get it...and no te preocupes...para el sabado esta sin duda!
Muchas gracias!

I thought this was in English and Spanish. It only seems to download in English. Did I do something wrong?

Mrs Castro (TpT Seller)
Hi Karen,
There is an English only 2nd grade packet, and there is a Bilingual packet, they are sold separately.
Here is the link for the bilingual packet.
http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Second-Grade-Back-to-School-Pack-Bilingual-Start-the-year-right
Please email me and I will help you figure this out. I'm sure you can get a refund for the English only packet.

Hi, do you have the first grade common core standards in a spanish poster form? I've been looking everywhere for that.....
August 15, 2012
Mrs Castro (TpT Seller)
It's not me. I wish it was, but no. I know of one blogger who has completed the standards in Spanish for Kindergarten and is working on it for 1st grade. Here is Libby's blog, she is super nice so if you email her I'm sure she'll let you know when it will be done:

hi--where did you find your cute fonts with spanish accents? most of the fonts i've seen are only the english lettering. thanks!
August 9, 2012
Mrs Castro (TpT Seller)
I go onto dafont.com. There are TONS of fonts on that site, and I just open the ones I like and if you scroll down it shows you the characters included - I look for the ones that include all the Spanish accent marks. My latest favorite is OMGWriteLikeWilliam.
Hope that helps!

TPT is not allowing me to leave a feedback, but I wanted to say that this craftivity is awesome! It has great instructions and it's so cute! I can't wait to use it with my kids. Thanks for making it!
July 22, 2012
Mrs Castro (TpT Seller)
Thank you! You can't leave feedback when you don't buy an item that's for sale - since I gave it to you as a freebie we're out of luck. Thank you for trying though!

TMom re: Splish, Splash, Splat - Bilingual Math and Literacy activities
Does the book come in Spanish? I checked Amazon and ebay and could not find it.
July 19, 2012
Mrs Castro (TpT Seller)
I do not believe it does. However, we do a lot of our read alouds in English, but will extend the our learning in Spanish. Unfortunately, a lot of fun read alouds aren't translated, and the ones that are translated aren't always translated well...or things are lost in translation. Hope this helps!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have three years of teaching experience in a bilingual setting. I have worked mainly in the primary grades but have made the switch to intermediate, and am teaching in a 5th grade dual language classroom this year - and couldn't be happier with my decision!
MY TEACHING STYLE
I try to make my classroom as engaging, welcoming and safe as possible for my students. When creating materials I try to make them accessible for all of my students' different leaning styles and levels.
