Thank you I can't wait to use this in the fall. It would have been helpful to have the list of jobs before ordering instead of just the number of jobs.

Sorry, but I didn't know that it used so much food. We can't use food in the classroom, so I feel like I wasted some money and time here. Also, I thought there was an answer key. Yes, I can answer the questions, but a key would save me time.
But your food ideas are great, but not for me.

Here it is:

You will need to select fonts you like as the originals wont remain in an editable format unless you have that same font.
I originally used ones called "Tangerine" and "Smiley Monster". Both are available for free online, just google the names.
I hope that works for you!:)

That would be so great if you could make them! I love how you have the computers, calendar, etc. on the display if you could make them like that! I would need ones for: Blocks Center, Art Center, Reading Center, Math Center, Science Center, Computer Center, Puzzles, Fine Motor Center, House Center, Listening Center, Literacy Center, Dramatic Play Center, Writing Center, Pocket Chart Center, Music Center, and Sensory Table. Could you also make ones that say 'Work with Teacher' or 'Small Group Time'. What size are the ones on there??
Thank you so much!

Peanut Butter Polka Dots (TpT Seller)
Hi there! I can put it up as a PowerPoint file for you but you would need to download the font or it will not work. I can give ya step by step instructions on how to this. The font is free and it could be nice to have if you are doing the seuss theme. The other option would be to tell me what you want them called and I can change it for you.
Let me know what works for you.

Peanut Butter Polka Dots (TpT Seller)
Sure thing! I based it off the NC Essential standards for Science, This is the objectives covered:
4.L.1 Understand the effects of environmental changes, adaptations and behaviors that enable animals (including
humans) to survive in changing habitats.
4.L.1.1 Give examples of changes in an organism’s environment that are beneficial to it and some that are harmful.
4.L.1.2 Explain how animals meet their needs by using behaviors in response to information received from the environment.
4.L.1.3 Explain how humans can adapt their behavior to live in changing habitats (e.g., recycling wastes, establishing rain gardens,
planting trees and shrubs to prevent flooding and erosion).
4.L.1.4 Explain how differences among animals of the same population sometimes give individuals an advantage in surviving and
reproducing in changing habitats.
I hope that helps!!!

Having the document editable would be great! No specific clipart. Under your D.O.T. set, you have a cover titled "Curriculum". I like something like that except with more red than black and of course titled: Guided Reading. I do not have to have the "dot" font if you think another would look better.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
April 16, 2013
Peanut Butter Polka Dots (TpT Seller)
Sounds Great! I'll have it posted by the morning for you. The font will be tricky if it is editable, I can not use a cutesy font, or it won't show up on your computer unless you have that particular font. I'll probably upload it both ways and you can decide which works best for you. Hope it works for you.
Completely off topic....You aren't by chance in Rhode Island are you? I have a college friend with a similar name that is a teacher there, and I just had to ask.:)
