I love that you've created a 'game' for every math cc for first grade. This is really terrific! I also love the alignment you attached to the packet.

Hi! Is this checklist detailed enough or list all of the standards in their entirety, enough so that I wouldn't need to print out the standards? I'm a former public school teacher but am going to be homeschooling now, and I am looking for an option other than printing out the hundreds of pages from the CC website. ;)

Hi Rachelle, My name is Carol Polston. I am a first grade teacher in Kernville, CA. I've followed your blog for quite a while & have bought many of your wonderful products (love them!). I am the Curriculum & Instruction lead for the first grade in our district & we are going to be redoing our benchmark tests this summer. I was wondering what your district uses. We have been using the Houghton Mifflin quarterly tests & midyear, etc. We would like to make a change. If you have time would it be possible for you to let me know & also if you're happy with it (if it's possible to scan & email a copy that would be great too). We've looked at Study Island, but they don't go down to first grade. Thanks so much, Carol

I'm not sure what you mean? There is a St. Patrick's Day graphic organizer where the students can write what they learned inside of the Shamrock. That is right after the student book.

maddm78 re: Springtime Math Centers {Aligned with the Common Core}
I feel like my centers need to be bright and I wish the directions were in colored backgrounds. It seems like there are a lot of missing color slides, almost all of the directions are only in blavk and white. Black and white just isn't as appealing for the directions and some of the center cards. The fractions pictures are really diffucult to see. Is there supposed to be color versions of these for this center? There is only black and white. I like that it aligns with the common core, but was a bit disappointed with many missing pieces. I'm hoping this can be corrected and updated

I need serious help with your St. Patrick's Day file. I have contacted the support team and have a ticket #25360. I cannot get the file to print I have tried dragging it to the desktop, on my PC it shows your file in Adobe Reader but when I go to print it, it says the file does not exist even thought I see it's file name under recent files. I have been trying to print for 5 days? Can you just email it to me. I feel like I need the CIA! Ha!
