QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
lennaballs re: Famous Americans-U.S. History
I read lots of the comments and they seem to be more elementary driven. Is this appropriate/challenging for an 8th grade class?
May 20, 2013
Nicole Shelby (TpT Seller)
Hi Lenna,
I appreciate your question and asking before purchasing. Most of my products are geared toward 2nd-5th grade depending on the activity. I probably would not recommend this for a regular 8th grade class. If you are teaching students with special needs, this would challenging enough. Otherwise, I am not sure this would be the best purchase for you.
Thanks again for your question. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

I downloaded this recently and cannot access the unit. I cannot export nor duplicate it, nor can I open it. What should I do?
May 14, 2013
Nicole Shelby (TpT Seller)
It is a zipfile, so try right clicking on the file and click extract files. It should open for you with no troubles. Beyond this, I really don't have anymore advice for you because I am not sure what exporting and duplicating the file means. If you need further assistance, please contact TpT technical support. They will be able to help you better than I.
Thanks so much!

teachershoes re: 43 Old Cemetery Road: Dying To Meet You Book Unit
What is the name of the book that you use? Is it too hard for grade 1 and 2? Do yo have answers and rubrics included in this package?
May 6, 2013
Nicole Shelby (TpT Seller)
Hi There,
I hope that I can address your question adequately. 43 Old Cemetery Road is a 3rd-5th grade level chapter book and I would not recommend it for student in the primary grades. The text is too difficult. The packet includes graphic organizers and activities to go along with the book. There are answers for pages that require specific answers, but the packet is designed to be open and there could be multiple answers. There is no rubrics included. I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Nicole

Nichole, I am interested in using your build-a-burger clip art for a freebie language memory game. Is this something you would consider? Thanks, Jen Moses

Nicole Shelby (TpT Seller)
Jen,
I don't know that I fully understand your question, but here is how I am interpreting it....you are wanting to create a memory game and use my build-a-burger game in your file??? If that is the case, you are more than welcome to include a link to my store/game in your freebie, but I would not be comfortable with you "recreating" my game and claim it as your own. Is this what you were asking? If I have misunderstood your question, please let me know.
Thanks so much,
Nicole

I can get these to open. When I print, the first few pages are fine, but then the rest are super enlarged images of the corner border. I have read through all the comments and tried everything! Please Help!
April 19, 2013
Nicole Shelby (TpT Seller)
April,
I am SO sorry you are having issues. I feel terrible because I really don't know what to tell you on this. I do know that Adobe recently did an update and maybe you need to update your Adobe Reader. Other than that, if you have tried all of the things I have suggested, I think it would be best if you contacted TpT for technical support. I have opened and printed the file with no trouble, so it has to be some kind of technical issue and to be honest, I am not sure how to fix it.
TpT does offer the option of getting the file emailed directly to you. If you click on the My Purchases page, there is a red "downloading difficulties" option on the right side of the screen. You can click on that it will give you the option to have files emailed to you.
I am sorry that I haven't been much help, but if you have done all of the suggestions I have made, it is a problem that I don't know how to correct.
Again, I do apologize!

I am so glad to hear that The Lemonade War novel unit was a success in your students. Right now, I have one for 43 Old Cemetery Road, Who is Stealing the 12 Days of Christmas, and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever in my store. I am in the process of developing more units. If you have any suggestions for book sets that you already have in your classroom, I would love to hear them. If you have so specific titles in mind, please email me at nicoleshelby@hotmail.com.

Nicole Shelby (TpT Seller)
Hello, and thank you for your purchase! I'm so sorry to hear you're having trouble printing. It does happen occasionally for some reason. Here are some suggestions for this type of issue. First, make sure you have the most current version of Adobe Reader (not preview), especially if you have a Mac. Some information about blurry pages is on your "My Purchases" page of TpT. If that doesn't work, try this advice from TpT Tech Support:
1) Open the PDF file with Adobe Reader
2) Click 'print'
3) Click on 'advanced'
4) Check the 'print as image' box, and this should cover all potential issues.

rothjr3 re: Science ABC Review Book Activity
Do you have a list of the terms? I feel like it's a mixture of fifth and fourth grade GA standards. If that's the case, I could likely use it.
April 7, 2013
Nicole Shelby (TpT Seller)
Well, your question is kind of difficult to answer as the activities are not necessarily a list of vocabulary words. It is a project in which the students demonstrate they understand concepts. Yes, there would be some vocabulary with like food chains (producer, consumer, decomposer), but it's mostly about the concepts. All of the concepts that are covered in this ABC book are given in the description.
Please email me at nicoleshelby@hotmail.com if you have any other questions.

Jessica McKeever (TpT Seller) re: Greek Mythology Stories and Activities (aligned with CCSS)
Hi! I just have to say I love so many of your products. I have purchased several already. I teach 4th grade and am currently doing your original Mythology Unit with my students. I started last week and plan to conclude the unit this Friday. So far they love it! I was so excited to see this new Mythology addition to your store. I plan to purchase it, but wanted to first make you aware of a small error I noticed as I was reviewing the sample pictures. It seems in the King Midas story that it says "when he suddenly he had a brilliant idea." I think one of the "hes" needs to be removed. I love that you have rewritten the myths in kid-friendly versions. I have noticed so many of them are not completely appropriate for fourth graders, even the stories in your favorite book that you suggested. I had to hunt that book down on Amazon! Lol! I look forward to combining this unit with the other one. There seems to be so many great new additions. Thanks again for all you do!
April 6, 2013
Nicole Shelby (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much for your kind words and I greatly appreciate you letting me know about the error. My proofers are fired! LOL! I have corrected the "he" issue. :) The problems you mentioned are exactly why I decided to make "student friendly" myths. I wanted to cringe every time we read something about someone being drunk or Zeus and all his many women. Those topics are just not appropriate for 4th graders.
I wish you continued success with your Greek Mythology unit. It's definitely my favorite unit to teach.
Thanks again,
Nicole

Hi Sharon,
Thank you so much for your purchase. I am glad you like the unit. The spelling Hercules is actually the Roman mythology spelling for his name. In Greek Mythology, his name was spelled Heracles. I hope this clarifies why my version of the story is spelled the way it is.
Thanks so much for your question!

H Nicole,
I love your products! Just an FYI, I bought March Fix-It Ups and there is an error in sentence #11. You state there are 4 errors, but there is actually 5: 1. I needs to capitalized, 2. has needs to be changed to have, 3. learnt is misspelled, 4. tails is misspelled and 5. there is no end punctuation.

I LOVE you editable board games. I just wish there was a way to print the card differently - such as 8 cards on one page. Do you know of any way to print it like that?

Hello,
I have currently taken them out of my store. I am hoping to get them updated, but have about 12 of them to do and they are VERY time consuming. I will do everything I can to try to get them back up.

i went to copy this off and it will not copy off I tried several times and the printer says it has problems printing the rest off. I get 4 pages and then it flashes- is there something I can do to get it to print the whole thing?? Has anyone else had problems printing??
March 7, 2013
Nicole Shelby (TpT Seller)
I am sorry that you are having trouble printing. This has seem to be the technical issue for a lot of people this week, not just for my customers, but other sellers as well. The only two fixes that I know for this issue are the following:
1) Make sure that your Adobe Reader is up to date and that you have the most current version installed.
2) When printing the pdf, choose the "advance" button at the bottom of the screen and click the box, "print as images". This is another trick that works.
If these two options do not work, I would suggest that you contact TpT for technical support. They may have other suggestions for helping you print the document, especially if it is a printer issue.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you.
Thanks,
Nicole

Nicole Shelby (TpT Seller)
Hello,
I just checked the download and it opened with no problems, so it is not a problem with the file. I have had similar issues with my own personal purchases before. My suggestion would be to open TpT using a different browser and try to download the product. That worked for me. If this does not work, you will have to contact TpT for technical support or I can try sending it to you via email.

Are you able to email the unit and I can try that?

Nicole Shelby (TpT Seller)
Hi Sarah,
I just checked the download on two different computers and it opened with no issues, so I don't know exactly how to fix the problem because not everyone is having issues. The file is quite large, so I included a pdf file of the whole unit and then pdfs of the unit broken into smaller pieces. Have you tried printing the smaller pieces rather than the entire unit at once? Another trick to try is when printing, instead of sellecting all pages on the printer options, select defined pages like 1-12. One other trick to try is when you go to print, click on the advance button and choose to print as an image.
I think if you try these things, it should fix your problem. If not, please send me your email address and I will email the file to you. This is the option that I would prefer to use as a last resort because the file is so large, I have to send it though a site like Dropbox.
Thanks,
Nicole

hhaynes re: Point of View Reading Instructional Resource-Common Core Aligned
Hi Nicole,
I have been looking for a lesson on point-of-view that I could modify/adapt for an observation. I've purchased units from you in the past and have loved all of them. In your description you stated that this lesson would take a few days to complete. Do you think this lesson could be adapted so that I would be able to demonstrate direct instruction, guided practice, and practice with a partner/independent practice in one lesson? I guess what I'm asking is are each of these pieces built into every day's lesson?

Hello,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am not sure how long your class period is, but I know that many teachers have told me that they have used this lesson for an observation. I know that I could definitely make this a single lesson with all of the things you have asked.
I hope this helps and good luck with your observation.

April Black (TpT Seller) re: States of Matter Unit: Solid, Liquid, Gas
I just purchased your states of matter packet and am a little confused on how you do the mystery box. Do you call each student up one at a time to look inside the box? Is there only one item in the box or do you put several items in one box? Or do you make 5-10 mystery boxes each with an item in them? Sorry, I read over it a few times and like to idea, but can't seem to figure out the logistics. I also had another teacher read it and we couldn't really figure out how to do it.
Thanks!
April

April,
I would be more than happy to help you out, but I really don't know what the mystery box activity is that you are referring to in the unit. I downloaded the unit again just because I thought maybe I was losing my mind, but I really don't know what it is you are talking about. I am sorry to ask this, but can you send me the page number for this activity? I would be more than happy to send specifics if I know to which activity it is that you need clarification.
Thanks so much!

Does your unit come with an answer key?
February 19, 2013
Nicole Shelby (TpT Seller)
The unit does have an answer key for one of the activities that would have definite answers. Many of the activities are "experiments" and there are recording sheets for the students to record and analyze their data. There is no answer key for that. The unit is more about activities than a bunch of worksheets that would have "answers".
I hope this helps!

Hi Stacey,
I am not sure why your printer is not printing the first six pages. I am not all that familiar with "printing issues"...the only thing I know to suggest that works for me anytime I am having printing problems is to do the following:
Try the "Print as image" option. Click the Advanced button in the Print dialog box to find this option.
I hope this helps!
