Jenniferjackson5 re: Gregor the Overlander {By the Author of The Hunger Games}
When I download the pictures and some words show up. Mostly all there, but in some areas where there is text it is a black line or blob. Any suggestions?

Hi Jennifer,

I think I may have a solution to the problem! Most likely my file was created on a newer version of Powepoint then is installed on your computer. Hopefully, you will just need to download the newest version of Adobe Reader!

Below is a blog entry from Erica Bohrer explaining possible reasons why a file my be blurry,etc. To see the entire blog please click on the link below.

http://ericabohrer.blogspot.com/2012/05/trouble-opening-tpt-files.html?spref=bl

1. The black bars - These are showing up because you do not have the most updated version of Adobe Reader installed on your computer or you have a Mac. If you go to your purchases page, you will see the word "blurry" flashing. There is a link there to download the newest version of Adobe for free.

If you have a Mac, go to your downloads folder. Open your the file with Adobe, not your default reader. I have a Mac, so I have this issue also.

2. Rest assured the file is not corrupted and does not contain a virus. It probably just was created in a computer with a newer version of Adobe or Word than you have on your computer. Follow the steps in number one above and it should open fine.

Jennifer, please let me know if the file still does not work after you install Adobe Reader and I can contact TPT for further directions. My email is reneesmalley@hotmail.com.

Thanks for your patience and I promise I will help resolve this problem as quickly as I can!

foosball1 re: A Remainder of One- Arrays, Remainders, and Math Literature
Several of the pages have blurry areas on them and I can't find any directions on the pages. For example, page 2 of the document just has green blurred rectangles and black blurred rectangles. Then there are a lot of periods but no words. I think something's wrong with the document. Page 3 has photos of your student with no captions, just black blurry rectangles...Page 4 is fine but page 5 has a blurry black square and nothing else but the ant. Same with pages 6, 7, 8, and 12. The rest seem to be okay. Can you please advise?
Thanks,
Sonya

lemilson re: How Big is a Foot? Measurement, Area, Perimeter, and Math Literature
Hi. I just purchased your How Big Is a Foot math/literature connection activity. It looks like it will be a great resource, but for some reason, the pages look wonky. There are black lines all over most of the blackline master pages, which I am sure are not supposed to be there. Do you think something went wrong with the download? I'd like to leave positive feedback, and if this can be cleared up, I definitely will.
Thank you,
Lori Emilson

Lori, thank you so much for contacting me! I downloaded the file again and hopefully this will take care of the problem. Please email me at reneesmalley@hotmail.com if the black lines do not disappear and I will email the file directly to you. I will also contact TPT to see if they can help with this problem. Once again, thanks for your understanding and patience. Hope you enjoy the lesson! Renee

I just bought your adorable unit and when I downloaded it, there were black lines where the writing an explanations should be. How can I get the pages with the directions on them and not black lines?

Thanks!

Scipi  (TpT Seller) re: Gator Pie- Fractions, Cooking, and Math Literature
I saw your posting on the Sellers Forum page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. Here are a couple of suggestions that might help you to better market your products.

First, use the footer to put the copyright symbol, your name and date of creation on EVERY page. Items, especially free ones, have been "stolen" from TPT and posted on other sites to be sold. You have to protect all of your creations. Also, number your pages.

I am now your 14th follower, and hope you will reciprocate at my store as well. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/SciPi/Products

Welcome to TPT, and good luck with selling!

Thank you for your kind words and suggestions! I am in the process of creating a new product called "Happy Moo Year" right now and I took your advice by adding copyright and page numbers.

The name of the font is DJ Chunky. This font looks especially cute when the text is large!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Aloha! My name is Renee Smalley and I can't tell you how much I love my job! This year is my 9th year in the classroom. Five years ago, I moved to Hawaii from North Dakota, where I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work at a variety of grade levels. I have taught kindergarten, second, third and fourth grade. I currently work at Pearl Harbor Elementary School in Honolulu, HI. Go Sharks! There are so many fun things to do and learn in Fourth grade, and I can't wait to share some of my ideas!

MY TEACHING STYLE

It is my belief that all children should be active participants in their learning. I support a hands-on, meaningful, technology based approach to education. My goals are to establish high expectations in a classroom where all children have the freedom to explore, ask questions, to inquire, and to learn the joys of becoming life long learners.
