jjakins  (TpT Seller) re: Poetry Station / Shared Reading / Task Cards / Literacy Activities - October
How many stations does this have? Also, I have second graders... Is this too young for them?
May 12, 2013 Report inappropriate comment
Sheila Melton
Sheila Melton  (TpT Seller)
It includes 3 literacy activities/stations

ABC Order
Wacky Word Sort (sorting long a/short a words)
Bubbles & Blends (sorting bl, pl, sl, fl words)

I think 2nd graders would enjoy the poem and the poetry activities. The poem focuses on words with blends. I think the stations would be a great way to reinforce a skill or a great way to review it. Either way, I think your 2nd graders would enjoy it but all classes are different! Hope that helps!
Thanks!

Sheila, thanks for your quick response. I have solved the mystery. At home, I use an Apple computer and apparently the OpenOffice program I use to view PowerPoints rotates some of the arrows. When I went to school today, using a Dell computer and PowerPoint, all is perfect! The arrows are facing the right direction. Mystery solved! All is well and it will be a great resource to my lessons. Thank you.

I just purchased the Power Point and it looks like it's going to be a perfect addition to my unit. I did notice that some of the slides have arrows facing in the wrong direction. Are you able to flip them so they face the right direction? The arrows are on p. 15, 24-30. Thanks for any help you can offer.
April 15, 2013 Report inappropriate comment
Sheila Melton
Sheila Melton  (TpT Seller)
The arrows are correct. The arrows show the transfer of "energy." For example, on p.15, the sun gives energy to the grass so it can grow, the grass gives energy to the ladybug when eaten, the ladybug gives energy to the lizard when eaten, and so on. The arrows do not show what eats what in a food chain. Hope that helps! :)

Dear Sheila,

Are the sentences that the children build facts about specific themes? I teach kindergarten and I will be teaching a lot of nonfiction books next year. Also, do you have the common core standard on these worksheets?

Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with other teachers,

cryazzie re: I Can Lists for Centers ~ Includes Lists for 16 Centers!!
I like your style and the versatility of the 4 options per design. I didn't notice that this file is editable and wondered if it could be. I much prefer to input my text (the remainder of the "I can" statement) using fonts, not my handwriting. Also, if I'm able to type up the "I can" statements, I can do the work once and then just modify for each standard. Not only does it save time, but the final product just looks better.

I've seen other sellers provide editable files where they create their product in a PowerPoint and lock their format to protect their work. But they insert a text box which allows the purchaser some flexibility. So I'm wondering if creating this with an editable text box allowing the purchaser to type (rather than hand write) on the card might be something you'd be willing to consider? Thanks.

Theresa Collar  (TpT Seller) re: Earth's Landforms Powerpoint
Hi Shelia,

A few weeks ago, I bought your water power point and had no problem opening it on my computer. So yesterday, I bought the landforms powerpoint and I can't open it. My computer doesn't give me the option of downloading something to enable me to open it. So I tried opening it on my school computer -- a much older computer than my personal computer. I can't get it to open there, either. It tells me that it can't read the text. Do you have any idea what I might need to be able to open it? Since I had purchased something previously from you, I assumed that I my computer would be able to open this one as well. Thanks so much for your help!

Thank you for updating the units. I think having the word cards as part of your units will be wonderful. Especially the way you have them on the template. The only addition I need when using your lessons are the word cards and photos without words. I can use them for language, phonics, sorting, memory (lotto), reading, writing, speech, OT etc. The units we are purchasing are plant parts, land forms, solids liquids, living non living. The sentence builders and spelling mats are other activities I will use to reinforce the content vocabulary-- thanks again

hi-- I enjoy your products.
I will use your units to help with accomodating my sons learning goals in science. He has Down syndrome and the way you bring pictures and words together with matching and sorting perfectly match the learning profle of students with Down syndrome.
I was wondering if I can remove the word on the picture card; for example the picture card of a dog and the word dog on the card. I will need to just show the picture of the dog and a seperate card with the word dog.
What is wonderful about your work is I have spent hours collecting photos to match classroom topics--and you have done all of this work for me--yeahh

4th graders still love writing about fun stuff like hot chocolate!

A few ideas:
~Practice adjectives as they describe the perfect cup of hot chocolate.
~Compare/contrast hot chocolate and hot cocoa (there IS a difference!)
~Research and write about the history of hot chocolate...where does it come from? How long have people been drinking it?
~Write out the steps to their favorite hot chocolate recipe
~Send one of the templates home and have the student write down their favorite family holiday recipe. Collect all the recipes, make copies and bind them in a book to pass out on the last day of school before Christmas break. I've done this in the past and the students loved it!

Hope that helps! :)

Can you please email this directly to me? I just printed a page and I get the dagger marks, also. My email is roxanne.harper@polk-fl.net. Thanks so much! Roxanne

Roxanne, I just saw this question...it must have slipped by somehow so I apologize for the delayed response. I'm working on this unit now to fix the "dagger marks." I'm puzzled why they are showing up...
Please watch for the updated version very soon that hopefully fixes this problem! Thank you for your patience! :)

I downloaded a powerpoint and it says it can't download it due to compatability. Do you have anyway to make it my version?

I don't think so but I'm not 100% sure. Do you know which version you are using?

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy them! No, right now I do not have a PowerPoint covering this subject but it's on my list of "Things to Do" lol! I'm not sure exactly what you mean by a flip chart...can you explain it more?

Love your product. I am actually a seller at TPT. I have several questions. Where do you get the dotted lines frames? The other question is how did you get to put your product on TPT? I have been trying to put in a product but it tells me that the file is too large. I put on zip drive, I also put it pdf, and nothing seem to work. It is a power point with 7 slides. Thanks for the help. Again, great product. My students are enjoying it.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I'm a Texas Teacher and have taught 1st grade and 4th grade. I love watching those little minds in action! :)

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love hands-on, engaging materials for my kids. We use a lot of manipulatives and I try to always use materials with lots of color. I also love using real life pictures as much as I can...especially in science! I want kids to learn about the world around them as it actually looks!

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Associate's of Arts - English Associate's of Arts - Social Sciences Associate's of Arts - Humanities Bachelor of Science - Interdisciplinary Studies

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I'm a Texas Teacher and have previously taught 4th grade math/science and 1st grade. 4th grade and 1st grade are completely different worlds but equally challenging and rewarding! I am currently not in a classroom so that I can just "be a mom" to my own 3 children ages 15, 12 and 6. I love being a teacher but I LOVE being a mom even more! I plan on returning to teaching one day but, for now, I am so fortunate to have TpT in my life so that I have this opportunity! :)
