This is a wonderful week long lesson! I love that you provided two different types of paper, one with the "line" and one without. This is perfect for first grade because I have some students who still need the lines and others who do not. Thank you so much!!
May 19, 2013
Ms Smarty Pants (TpT Seller)
I know teachers and students have different preferences to writing paper. I try to mindful of that when I create a product. I want my kids to have choices, so I assume most teachers want the choices too! =)

I downloaded the activity; however, the "red body" page is cut off at the bottom. Just wondering if you could fix it. Thanks:)
May 8, 2013
Ms Smarty Pants (TpT Seller)
Hi! The body was set to be straight at the bottom to place it above the writing page, as a page topper. I need to add a picture to the file. =) I added an additional page with a full round body for you. I hope you like it! Please re-download.

Hello again! I am going through my list of classroom supplies and just wanted to know if you had an "absent folder" cover that matched the silly themed design? Thanks! Kim

Hi again! I can do that. I am working on monthly binder covers in the Silly World theme this week. Just let me know what other types of covers you need and I will include them. =)

camnkim re: Silly World Themed Behavior Management Signs
I really like this behavior chart, but I am looking for a job chart to match it, by chance do you have one?? I would LOVE to get them together!! Or, do you create them on special request? I have a list of "jobs" that I want included in my classroom, but I would love it with your graphics! Thanks so much, Kim
March 4, 2013
Ms Smarty Pants (TpT Seller)
Hi Kim,
Funny you would ask about the job chart, as I was working on it last night. I can take a picture of mine (in the classroom) tomorrow so you can see how I post it on the board. You could also use it in the clipchart fashion and use clips to mark names/numbers with jobs. Please email me the list of jobs you would like. =) ms.smartypants@rocketmail.com
I could have it complete in the next few days. =)
Thanks!

Hello! I came across your blog from Pintrest. I REALLY want your behavior chart with the Dr. Seuss theme, I can not find it on the Teachers pay Teachers site. Is it no longer available? Thank you!

Hi. I am sorry but the clip chart is no longer available due to copyright issues. I do have the Silly World Clipchart which I now use in my Seuss themed room. :)

Does this include a pacing guide for implementation of the various skills?
February 27, 2013
Ms Smarty Pants (TpT Seller)
Hi Katrina,
I did not include a pacing guide for the various skills. After some research, it was obvious that every district (and sometimes the schools within) create their own pacing guides. On our team, we use this as a review of previous skills taught or when we went to slowly introduce a new skill.
Thanks for asking!

Hi Abbie,
I am sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I just saw this question. I cannot send you a blank game board due to the copyright restrictions. If you would like, I can tweak it with the Spanish numbers and you will have it for next year.
Thanks,

Hi Allyson,
Have you contacted Support? I was able to print the pages, but it did take about 5 minutes for the printer to print those 2 pages. I am thinking it has something to do with the color. Please contact Support and see if they can help you. If you are still not able to print, please send me your email address and I will get it to you another way. I am so sorry. I really am not sure why it is doing that.

I purchased and love your Ocean Themed Behavior management cards/chart. I was wondering if you would consider creating a six week chart that goes home. I would love to only run off one each six weeks, instead of one every week for my class. Our paper count is being watched, and that is one less page per student for 5 of the six weeks. Once we get used to the system, the illustrations might not be necessary (one way it could be smaller). If it is not possible, I understand, I just thought I would ask. Thanks for your consideration! We love the theme, it goes with my overall classroom this year! My kids really love that they can be a starfish! Thanks again! Melissa Kearney Mokteach - Kindergarten
