Good morning! I am a first grade teacher, formerly PK teacher. I just finished my masters in May (yea!) with a degree in Mind, Brain and Education – a subfield of education. The first program was started at Harvard by Howard Gardner and Kurt Fisher (if you haven’t read any of Kurt Fisher’s work on Skill Theory and you are interested in the cognitive processes involved in learning, you must read his work!)
Cut to the chase. When I moved up from PK to 1st I was shocked by my students’ lack of number sense. I spent an entire year and all last summer trying to figure out what was missing. In Nov I attended a workshop that on number sense. When I heard the presentation I recognized all the “big” names of the research I had been investigating. The workshop was a training session for an iPad app (Native Numbers). It seemed like a valid, robust app, but I am a skeptic and had to know: would this really work.
I am here to tell you that with the first skill set I saw every cognitive model of learning embedded in this app. I also realized that this app is more than a learning tool; it has built in formative and summative assessment as it is adaptive and levels up and down based on student performance and leads to mastery.
Now I am on a “mission” – everything we read tells us our students are lacking number sense. I believe this app is a fabulous tool to remediate those deficits. I have no vested interest in this app except that I am one of those people that has to solve problems and when I think I have found possible answers, I have to share that with others. Our kids are too important not to share---which is why I love reading blogs! I am asking for teachers to simply read the research and then try out the app and give me feedback---or give the feedback yourself to the developers. I am that convinced. I am not a salesman and I feel quite strange in this new role I have taken upon myself…but I have nothing to lose, or gain, except knowing that maybe we can have an enormous impact on our students!
If you have any questions, please e-mail me at tatergraderswife@yahoo.com Check out the app at www.nativebrain.com – you can find the background of the developers and read about the research behind the app. You can also watch a video on that site or go to these YouTube links:

mcpherson re: May Promeathean Board Calendar
I am a former teacher turned stay at home mom that is about to go back into the classroom. I will be teaching first grade which will be a new experience for me. I love your blog and ideas. I love the idea of Calendar on the Promethean board which I will have in my classroom. I was just curious if you would be posting an August 2013 (Back to School) calendar? It looks like you just started selling for January. If I purchase, would I be able to make any adjustments if needed depending on my class, etc. Thank you for your help!!

lindagjohnston re: Reading Street Unit 5 First Grade: I Have Who Has Spelling Word Games
Our school system is going with McGraw-Hill's "Wonders" series for the upcoming school year. I have purchased and used all spelling games you have made for Reading Street, our current reading series. If you would develop "I Have Who Has" spelling word games for the "Wonders" series, I would purchase every set! You have made my year a hit with these cards. I use them during my intervention class and with our afterschool program!

Hi!
Thanks so much!!!! I'll have to research the spelling patterns and stories for Wonders...give me this summer to get it done! Thanks again for your purchases from me!!!

Ms. Arnold,
I love the Buggy Friends Count by Ten! However, the file would not print! An error box would come up and say the file was unable to print. I was able to print other PDF units purchased from TPT. Is anyone else having this problem, and is there a way to fix it?
Thanks!

Hi! You have to select the black arrow on the tools menu, then touch the arrow on the number generator. You just touch the numbers on the calculator once you've selected the black arrow with the tip of the pen.

rvabarca re: February Promeathean Board Calendar
I am having a problem with the graphics being cut off and some of the words. Is there anything I can do to correct this? On some of the days of the week it is cut off and a couple of the other pages. Thank you.
January 31, 2013
Ms Arnold (TpT Seller)
Hi! First, I'm so sorry you are experiencing difficulty, but hopefully these suggestions will help. The first thing I would suggest is to select the text and change the size of the font, it may be too big for your screen. Also, make sure you have the correct font installed on your computer. The fonts I used are comic sans and Wish I Were Taller. If you don't have the font just select the text and change it to a font you do have. None of the graphics should be cut off, because I sized it to fit the screen in Active Inspire. There could also be an issue with your default screen size. This file is for Active Inspire software. If this still doesn't help let me know. You can e-mail me at queeqag@aol.com.

iladore re: Winter Animals Unit
I'm interested in buying your Winter Animals Unit. However, I read your ratings & comments and found that someone mentioned you had included penguins in worksheets related to the Arctic rather than Antarctic. I'm wondering if you have had a chance to make this correction?
Thank you. Christina
Thank you. Christina
December 19, 2012
Ms Arnold (TpT Seller)
Yes, I did fix that but I included seperate penguin materials that you could use when you study penguins. So it's like getting extra materials that you can use seperately at anytime during a winter animal study. None of the penguin materials are referenced with the animals of the Arctic. Let me know if you have any more questions.

There are 10 sh words and there were even a few ch words thrown in. Do you have a plain scarecrow so we can add our own sh words for the write the room activity or am I just missing some of the words. Thank you for your time.

Hi ,
Sorry you are experiencing difficulty. Customers with the problem you describe have been able to resolve by one of two methods:
1. It sounds like you are either opening with an old version of Adobe Reader or if you have a Mac, you may be opening it with a Mac program called "Preview" and not even know it. Preview has documented problems opening modern Adobe files. If you have a Mac, try opening Adobe Reader first (rather than just double clicking on the file), then open the file within Adobe Reader. You may also choose to set the default reader to Adobe Reader by following the instructions below.
2. If you are still having opening and you know you are using Adobe, look to see if you have a newer version. You can check the version by clicking Help then About from within reader. If you have a version earlier than 5.0 or 6.0, you should update your reader. Please let us know if either of these actions solves the problem.
According to TPT founder, 100% of fuzzy graphics is attributed to an old version of adobe or a non-adobe product, such as Preview.
To change the default reader on a Mac to Adobe:
Click on the icon of a PDF file type then choose File --> Get Info
You will see a dialog box labeled something like this "Gobble Gobble.pdf Info
Near the bottom, you will see a section titled "Open With:"
That indicates what application on you Mac is the default if you open the file from the desktop.
Click on the pop-up to bring up the list of possible applications and select Adobe Reader (whatever version is installed), then click "Change All" to make it the default application for all .pdf files (if that is what you want to do).
The OS will then ask you if you are sure, click "Continue."
Now the Mac will use Reader instead of Preview.
Make sure the version is new enough by following set 2 above.
If this doesn't work let me know....and we'll get it fixed.

Hey Shelia! I got them from JW Illustrations. She has an Esty Shop. If you Google it, it should come up. I hope that helps.

I love your short vowel anchor charts. They are on scribed. I signed up to get them, but then it required me to sign up for a $5 one day pass. I would rather pay you for them on Teachers Pay Teachers. Is there any way you could add your anchor charts to your store here?

Hey rhauser!
I posted those for free on my blog for my followers...I don't want you to have to pay either:). Send me your e-mail address and I'll send them to you. My e-mail is queeqag@aol.com.

Hi LeighAnn! I'm sorry it took me so long, but I'm uploading the new odd/even page now.

LeighAnn Penrod (TpT Seller) re: Corn and Tomato Soup Activity Kit for Combinations of Seven
Would it be ok with you if I asked you to change where it says addition sentence on that one sheet to odd/even? I want to use this for odd/even as well!!
September 4, 2012
Ms Arnold (TpT Seller)
Hi LeighAnn! Instead of changing the entire page, which would change the goal of what I want the product to be, I can add in another page with odd and even. Will that work for you? Let me know and I can get the new one uploaded. Thanks for your purchase.

I just purchased your M&M bingo activity. I can only get one bingo card to show up. Can you please help me see the other cards?

Hi ,
Sorry you are experiencing difficulty. Customers with the problem you describe have been able to resolve by one of two methods:
1. It sounds like you are either opening with an old version of Adobe Reader or if you have a Mac, you may be opening it with a Mac program called "Preview" and not even know it. Preview has documented problems opening modern Adobe files. If you have a Mac, try opening Adobe Reader first (rather than just double clicking on the file), then open the file within Adobe Reader. You may also choose to set the default reader to Adobe Reader by following the instructions below.
2. If you are still having opening and you know you are using Adobe, look to see if you have a newer version. You can check the version by clicking Help then About from within reader. If you have a version earlier than 5.0 or 6.0, you should update your reader. Please let us know if either of these actions solves the problem.
According to TPT founder, 100% of fuzzy graphics is attributed to an old version of adobe or a non-adobe product, such as Preview.
To change the default reader on a Mac to Adobe:
Click on the icon of a PDF file type then choose File --> Get Info
You will see a dialog box labeled something like this "Gobble Gobble.pdf Info
Near the bottom, you will see a section titled "Open With:"
That indicates what application on you Mac is the default if you open the file from the desktop.
Click on the pop-up to bring up the list of possible applications and select Adobe Reader (whatever version is installed), then click "Change All" to make it the default application for all .pdf files (if that is what you want to do).
The OS will then ask you if you are sure, click "Continue."
Now the Mac will use Reader instead of Preview.
Make sure the version is new enough by following set 2 above.
If this doesn't work let me know....and we'll get it fixed.

hello!
I was wondering if the students are to color the squares in order or do you let them color any square(s) they want to?
thanks!

gr8tchr re: Reading Street Unit 3 First Grade: I Have Who Has Spelling Word Games
Just curious--would you ever consider making a set for the 2nd Grade Reading Street text? I teach a combined 1st & 2nd grade and I'd love to have the same game for my second graders. Please base it on the 2008 edition if you're able to make such a product. Thanks for considering this!!
August 13, 2012
Ms Arnold (TpT Seller)
Hi! Yes I'm in the process of making the second grade version (2008). Unit one should be ready in the next two weeks. If you'd like to receive an email when I post the games be sure to follow me. Thanks so much for your question and for your purchase!

Do you just laminate and play or do you cut out the player boards? If laminate and play, they sit side by side to play?
August 2, 2012
Ms Arnold (TpT Seller)
Yes, I laminate the entire game board and it's ready to go...and they do sit side by side to play.

Hello again Ms. Arnold,

Thank you in advance!

Hi Ashley
They are already in PDF format on my blog. Once you click on the link you have to go up to the top...usually in the left hand corner and click download original or download, then save it to a folder on your computer. After that you can open it up in Adobe reader then print. Hope that helps.

Hi! I realized after that your newest spelling pack was for first grade not second. Do you have a pack like that for second grade reading street 2007? Thanks so much!

I can certainly get to work on the second grade version. Thanks for your interest!

Hi Michelle,
I've looked at the phonics progression for RS 2007 and it appears to be the same as older versions. Has something changed with RS phonics progression with the 2007 edition? Are there different phonemes? Let me know and I'll get those done too.

Even though I don 't use Reading Street, I would love to get these because of the word patterns, but I have 27 kiddos. Are there directions for what to do with a BIG class?

Hi Ms. Arnold,
I downloaded your short and long vowel posters on your blog but for the life of me, I can not get them to print the way they should on poster. I have an HP computer with a Cannon printer. I have tried everything that I could think of and I am completely bummed that it doesn't print all the parts to the "poster".
Any advice would be great!

Hey Ashley! You have to have an HP Printer. I'm not familiar with Cannon Printers and the only poster printing I've seen is on HP printers. Hope that helps.
