How long do your students spend at each station? How many kids are in each station? I am considering buying this to use next year but I am trying to think about how to structure it.

It is not editable. Please update adobe reader--that should help with the download--it is a large file!

Literacy Launchpad (TpT Seller)
Hey Sarah,
I noticed that you maybe draw some of your own patterns for your products? Weird question maybe, but I was wondering how you incorporate those in your slides? Do you scan them in? Using what program? I create a lot of my own patterns this way too and I'm not sure how to go about most easily and effectively using these hand-drawn patterns on my slides. Thought I might pick your brain. :)

I hand draw, then scan the images. I color them using Photoshop Elements, which I got from a Bamboo tablet I purchased for around $100. I save the colored images as PNG files, and then use them like I would clip art! I hope this helps a little!

Hello,
Came across your blog - can't wait to explore. But I was looking for 'beware of bossy e' (http://firstgraderatlast.blogspot.com/2011/04/beware-of-bossy-e.html) and I can't find it on TPT. Is it still available?

Karina Bailey (TpT Seller) re: Best "Bee"havior Catalog
I love this! I was under the impression there were "coupons" for students to grab when looking through their choices in the book. I did not see them included. Can you create these please? I see the large description of the choice but not a small version for students to place their name on to save for when they are wanting to redeem. Every other catalog I have seen has this little feature. Hope you can help.
May 4, 2013
Sarah Cooley (TpT Seller)
I will try to add that to my to do list this summer. I had one person tell me that they were able to print smaller images of the full page images--I'm not quite sure how she did it, but that could be an option while you are waiting for me to update the file! Thanks!

kmercer5 re: The Adventures of Super Tooth and the Cavity Villains: A Dental Health Unit
Hi, I am a Kent State University nursing student. I am doing a 30 minute community teaching to first graders on good dental hygiene. I was wondering if there was anyway I could find out more about the all about my teeth poster and how to brush your teeth printable? I already purchased one unit that was not focused enough on simple dental hygiene. I'm just trying to avoid paying for something I'm not going to use again. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hello Sarah! I just purchased your product and I can't wait to start using it. However, I noticed that the word "jump" is not in the pre-primer list. You have it later on in another list. Would you be able to put it in the pre-primer list? Jump is a word that I like to use at the beginning of the year because they get it right away. Thanks for making a terrific product!

Thanks Laura! I am so happy to hear that you loved it! I will definitely consider working on those units--I really enjoyed putting together the Abe Lincoln one! Just keep checking back with me--I have a pretty long to-do list, but I will try my best to work on those as well! Thanks so much!

Super cute! I don't do literacy centers, I do the Daily Five so I couldn't use quite a bit of this packet. I love the Egg Dude & Dudette writing and Egg-stra silly joke & doodle book and could incorporate that into writing. Would you be willing to sell just those as a packet or individually?
March 14, 2013

Hey Laura,
I have a book comparison chart for the three books, and an art/creative writing activity that incorporates Mo Willems' art style with the b/w background and colorful characters. At this time, I probably won't be selling those items individually. My sweet friend Hope King also has a fantastic Knuffle Bunny pack that you can check out on TpT as well! It has only the Knuffle Bunny items! Hope this helps! Thanks so much for your interest in my packet.

That page is not in this packet--you may have seen a picture from my blog--which showed a few different activities I did with my students. I plan to revamp this packet very soon, and your feedback helps me know that I should include that page! I will notify all my buyers as soon as I update the packet, and you can download it again for free! Sorry about the confusion, but thanks for your purchase!
