These are sooo cute! I love these! I wasn't able to change the font size so my writing was going on top of the pictures...Is there a way I can do this?
February 3, 2013
mrscortes (TpT Seller)
Hi there! Thank you so much for your feedback!! The font size is a standard size and can't be changed :( What you need to do is to type and when you are getting close to the picture go down one line so letters won't be on top of them. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other question please :)

Very interested in your newsletter calendar, but I send home a weekly newsletter. Do you have a weekly template or do you plan on posting one?
June 15, 2013
mrscortes (TpT Seller)
Hi there! Thank you so much for your question. Yes! I do have a set of Newsletter Templates that can be used for monthly or weekly newsletters, you just have to type all the information you need. They have backgrounds and images according to the month, and are completely editable (even the month headlines, that can be changed to fit your needs). Here is a link to the product:

TaraH77 re: Calendar Templates- 12 Month Set
With these templates are you able to go in and type the numbers for the dates and add birthdays, holidays,etc.? I bought this and can't seem to do that. I feel like it was a waste of money if you can't.
April 28, 2013
mrscortes (TpT Seller)
Hi there! Thank you so much for your question. In the product description the calendars are not listed as editable, they are PDF files. However, if you have a PDF editor you may add information to them. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Mrs. Cortes,
I really love your calendars. I want to make sure that they will work with the MimioTeach. Are your calendars compatible with the ink software for Mimio?

Hi there! Thank you so much for your nice comment:) Yes, just make sure you buy the ones that are labeled as MIMIO. I used the Mimio Studio software to create them and they are .ink files.

neurotic1too re: Newsletter Templates- 12 Month Set
I am not able to change the size of the font. This is making it difficult to cut and paste from other documents. With the size of the font, I cannot get much text into the boxes. Is there something I can do?
April 21, 2013
mrscortes (TpT Seller)
Hi there! Thank you so much for your question!! The font size is a standard size and can't be changed. Adobe Reader does not allow any kind of changes to the fonts font. You may want to try to type and get as close to the pictures as you can so you can take advantage of all the space in the box. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other question please :)

Margaret Block (TpT Seller) re: Writing Steps and Checklist Helper/ Bilingual
The quality of print on page 2 is off. THe fingers and the hand do not line up. I have tried several times to reprint it and it is the same. Thank you ...love the idea!
April 10, 2013
mrscortes (TpT Seller)
Hi there! Thank you so much for your feedback:) Hand on page 2 is designed to go on the back of hand 1, this is why it might seem off. Hope it helps!! Let me know if you have any other concerns. :)

mrscortes (TpT Seller)
Hi Lory! The slide show should not require a password to open it. Try just double clicking on the file and see if it opens. If it does not open it might be that your computer has Microsoft PowerPoint but not Microsoft Power Point Viewer (in most computers these programs are installed together but sometimes the viewer is not installed properly). You can go to the official microsoft website and download the viewer for free to update your software. Here is the link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/search.aspx?q=PowerPoint%20viewer
After installing the viewer try to open the slideshow again, let me know if it works.

modica03 re: Calendar Templates- 12 Month Set
Regarding the calendars, can you type in the boxes to personalize the calendar for the month? Or do you simply print and hand write for each calendar?
February 4, 2013
mrscortes (TpT Seller)
Hi there! Thank you so much for your question. So far there is no option of typing into the calendars, you would have to hand write the info. Thanks!

Hello! I bought your smartboard calendar math and I have an interwrite board which uses promethian active inspire studio. Is there any way you can configure this for me? My program won't open up to the full window. Thank you so much! I hope it works because I LOVE this program idea! I will send you my email. I see below your email address. I hope your program can be made compatible with mine...

Hi Esther! Thank you so much for your nice comments! Yes, you will definitely need the calendar math for Promethean/Activboard. Please look for an email from mrsaidacortes@gnail.com, I will send you the link so you can download the version you need.
Let me know if you have any other question.
Enjoy your calendar!

September 14, 2012
mrscortes (TpT Seller)
Hi there! Thank you so much for your question. When you download the preview file you will be able to see a screenshot of every slide included in the calendar. One of the slides is a story problem mat in which you can plug the problems and questions you need.

beark re: UPDATED!! SMARTBOARD Calendar Math-September (English)
Hello! I don't think I am able to update the software. My school has the software on all teacher computers even though we don't all have smartboards. I don't have a product key or code to use to update the software. I have been looking all over for something I can use with just my projector and my tablet. This is my first year in second grade (I've taught fourth grade the last five years) and I'm kind of at a loss with this calendar/morning meeting routine. I loved this because it guided me through the different concepts. I guess if I can't update the software I won't be able to use this. :(
September 3, 2012
mrscortes (TpT Seller)
Hi there! I am sorry you couldn't update your software. What I can do is to check if there is any way to make this calendar compatible with your software version but it could take some time because I think I would need to re-do most of the material. Please send me (mrsaidacortes@gmail.com) your email address as soon as you can so I can email you the calendar once it is ready.
I'll try my best!!

I purchased this and opened it with SMART Notebook software. Only some of the graphics appear on the pages and they are mostly blank white. Do you have any idea why? :(
August 31, 2012
mrscortes (TpT Seller)
Hi there! Thank you so much for contacting me with your question. You need to update your SMART software, you probably have a version 9.5 or older and these versions do not support backgrounds. Please let me know if you were able to update or any other questions you have.
Best regards,
Aida

beark re: UPDATED!! SMARTBOARD Calendar Math-September (English)
Do you include instructions for this? I do not have a SMARTboard, but I do have the SMART Notebook software. I am wanting to use my tablet to allow my students to make their selections. I have tried other SMARTboard calendars, but haven't really found one I like. I really like how extensive yours is. Do I need to save it each day or should I open it blank and start over each day?
August 27, 2012
mrscortes (TpT Seller)
Hi there! Thank you for stopping by and your nice comment :) You can save your work each day and keep it for the next. I do have a set of instructions for every slide in the calendar, you can download it here

mrscortes (TpT Seller)
Hi Molly! I am not familiar with the Mimio software either but I did some research and found this about it: "MimioStudio software can open both SMART Notebook and Promethean Flipchart files using the File and Open… commands. These file types will open inside MimioStudio software and users can immediately begin working with them—with limited loss of functionality, in most cases. They can also be dragged and dropped from a file location into Notebook." (http://www.learningexchange.net/mimio-faqs.php). Some teachers using Mimio state that you can open SMART and PROMETHEAN files and project them with Mimio as soon as you have their software installed in your computer. (http://www.proteacher.net/discussions/showthread.php?t=221499) Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other question.
Aida
UPDATE! Dear Molly, I just launched my Calendar Math for MIMIO users and would love to email you a copy of the February Calendar so you can enjoy the calendar in your board!! Contact me at mrsaidacortes@gmail.com. :)

I love your calendars. However I'm looking for a set with general clip art. We have a population of religious group aty school that do not celebrate holidays and I like to be mindful of that. Could you make a set or change this one so October might have fall leaves, not Halloween and holly and berries for December Instead of christmas?

Hi Jill, thank you so much for your suggestion and I will include it for the August update of the calendars. All my products are continuously updated so if you purchased the first or current version you will get the updated version at no cost.

Hey! Thank you so much for your comment! I am definitely working on the updates for the next version and welcome all suggestions!!
