I bought this during the TPT teacher appreciation sale. I love having the option to edit the binder. The only sad part is it has 2012-2013 calender pages and we're ending that school year. :( Oh well I'll use all of the other pages.

Ask Mrs. Pollard a question. They will receive an automated email and will return to answer you as soon as possible.
Please Login to ask your question.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Lora Burt (TpT Seller)
This may be a silly question but, I have noticed when looking around TPT that everyone has these beautiful covers for every document they sell. Is that like a requirement or just something you do as an extra touch? I see everyone doing that and the covers look similar in design.
May 17, 2013
Mrs. Pollard (TpT Seller)
It's not at all required. There are really no requirements when selling on TPT except copyright concerns. You are free to create a document to your personal style. Items that are visually appealing, however, tend to sell better.

goobersgrl31 re: Rainbow Polka Dot & Chevron Classroom Decor

janette1753 re: The Teacher Keeper {Organizational Binder with Owls}
Hello, I purchased your very first teacher binder and I LOVE IT!!!!!! This year I'm starting a new owl theme and saw you made a teacher binder with owls (dancing with joy). It looks like all your binders contain the same things. Would you be willing to sell me only the cover and tabs so that I can change the look of my binder? Please let me know. Thanks for keeping me soooooo organized in my first year of teaching.
May 13, 2013
Mrs. Pollard (TpT Seller)
I'm sorry. The item is only available "As-Is" as stated in the product description.

I was wanting to buy this for the next school year. When do you think that the new calendars will be added?

Just updated! The product is now available with a zipped file for the new school year calendar!

I LOVE your classroom decor packs and I purchased your Rainbow Polkadot Chevron packs for my room this year. I love yours over everyone elses because of all of the things you include. I am wanting to go with a nautical theme for next year that includes navy, red, white, yellow with anchors, whales, etc. I just was wondering if this would be a possibility because I love your products so much! Look forward to hearing from you!
May 10, 2013
Mrs. Pollard (TpT Seller)
I'm so happy you like my decor pack! Thank you so much for your kind words. I don't, however, want to commit to doing a nautical theme for you. I'm currently working on my own theme for next year and will be teaching summer school so I don't want to over extend myself. Sorry.

I bought the teacher keeper for this past year (2012-2013). Do I have to repurchase it just for a calendar for this year (2013-14)?

Yes, I did see the preview. This is why I thought the classroom rules could be changed. I would love for you to email me the other 10 frames. Silly question though, do I just put my email address here?
April 24, 2013
Mrs. Pollard (TpT Seller)
If you'd rather not put your email on here, you can email me at teacheristatales@gmail.com. :)
April 24, 2013
Trisinda re: Rainbow Polka Dot & Chevron Classroom Decor
Sorry to bother you again, but could I also get the ten frames 11-20? I won't need them until sometime this summer. Whenever you are able to get to it is fine. Thank you in advance.
April 24, 2013
Mrs. Pollard (TpT Seller)
I already have these numbers created so I don't mind emailing them to you. I'll need your email address so I can do so.
April 24, 2013
Trisinda re: Rainbow Polka Dot & Chevron Classroom Decor
Hello, I have purchased this package and the extras package from you. I am wondering if there is any way to change the font on the alphabet cards to D'nealian? This is the style taught in our district.
April 24, 2013
Mrs. Pollard (TpT Seller)
I'm sorry, but I won't be making any changes to the font at this time. I included the preview on the product listing so you could see exactly what was included in the unit.

JennyWyrick re: Rainbow Polka Dot & Chevron Classroom Decor {EXTRAS}
I decorated my room with this pack and just noticed the 3D shapes are wrong. The picture of the cone is labeled "pyramid." Is there a way to fix this?
April 17, 2013
Mrs. Pollard (TpT Seller)
I'm so sorry! Thank you so much for pointing this out. (Clearly, I'm not using the 3D shape posters in my room-- lol!) I've got it fixed and have re-uploaded the revised pack. Again, sorry this slipped past my editing.
April 17, 2013
Jen Miller (TpT Seller) re: The Teacher Keeper {Organizational Binder in Pink & Black Polka Dots}
When do you plan on updating the calendar for the 2013-2014 school year? When that happens willl I need to purchase the binder again?
April 15, 2013
Mrs. Pollard (TpT Seller)
I will have that up in the beginning of June. It will be posted as a freebie in my store so keep an eye out! :)
April 15, 2013
wavery re: Rainbow Polka Dot & Chevron Classroom Decor
I am planning on purchasing this packet. However, do you by chance have the numbers all the way to 20 with the ten frames?
April 15, 2013
Mrs. Pollard (TpT Seller)
Yes, I do. I added it after I made the pack and haven't gone back in to add it yet. Email me after you make the purchase and I will email you 11-20 with ten frames. :)

I love this notebook! I know it's a little late in the year to be starting but I figure it will get me on track for next year. How do you do the tabs? That is the only part I am confused about.
April 9, 2013
Mrs. Pollard (TpT Seller)
It's never too late to get organized!
Did you read the directions on pg. 8 of the document? There are directions with a little picture. Let me know if you still need further assistance.

katari636 re: The Teacher Keeper {Organizational Binder in Yellow & Blue}
I bought your teacher keeper in the blue and yellow polka dot theme, and I absolutely love it. One question though, will you be creating/have you created calendar refills? I know that this is an organizational tool that I will be able to use for years, but I would also like the opportunity to put in a new calendar every year as well... just to keep the whole binder feeling complete and finished.
January 31, 2013
Mrs. Pollard (TpT Seller)
I will create the 13-14 school calendar at the end of this school year. :)

Hi
I am a year two teacher from Australia, I am really excited about using your binder pages. I was wondering if you could add the remainder of the months from August to December for 2013. Being in Oz our school year runs from Feb until Dec. I have tried to copy and paste the calendar to add the remaining missing months but am failing at it :(.
Thanks so much for a great product

You can download the preview to get a good look at the colors in this pack. There is a mix of primary and bright in it-- the blue and green are brighter.

I tape them onto a regular page protector (it doesn't have any dividers on it). They are taped on the back side of the page protector. There are more specific directions in the product download.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Before teaching first grade, I acted as director of an in-school daycare and preschool teacher. I am currently in my 4th year of teaching first grade.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I make every effort to prepare exciting, hands-on activities for my students. I find they work best when they are fully engaged and collaborating with each other.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
I have written and recieved multiple grants on {the amazing website} Donors Choose. I currently serve on my school's RTI team, previously SAT.
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I received my BS in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood Development from Western Michigan University.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Being a teacher is an honor and privilege. I can't believe it is called "work" when I walk into my classroom each day. Creating classroom resources to share with all of you is just an added bonus of my job!
