So jum {ble} (short vowel) and ma {ple} (long vowels) are examples of this "code a final syllable?" Thank you

Jane Blazer  (TpT Seller) re: Final Stable Syllable Center Game
I don't understand your statement about telling students "vowels are afraid of brackets..." What do you mean by brackets? Are you referring to a type of letter?
This is an intriguing idea and I'd like to be able to utilize it correctly.
Thank you,
Jane Blazer

Shelli and Brittany  (TpT Seller)
When you code a final stable syllable you put a bracket around the last three letters. If a vowel is next to the bracket it will almost always say its name. I tell my kids that the vowels are scared of brackets so they scream their name if they aren't protected by a consonant. Does that make sense? It's hard to explain without showing you! If that doesn't make sense let me know and I can email you a document where I show you examples.

Shelli, I commented on "finding a publisher" post. Feel free to look at it.

Also, I do have one question, would you be so kind as to download one of my free products and rate it. Even if it is not a 4.0, I really would like honest feed back so I can make things better.

You seem to be a top seller, so you would have insight that would make my products better. Thanks.

Hi, I graduated from Cuba in 1986. I have been teaching out here in Pasadena CA for 9 years. I teach at Hamilton Elementary. Our website is bobcatbuzz.com. I actually live in Burbank and drive about 15 minutes to Pasadena. It's like driving from Cuba to Canton, not bad. I know that Cuba and Valley now share sports teams. Although, I haven't really been back to see the games yet. My good friends used to go to Valley, but in the 80's.

Thank you for responding. IT is so nice to meet other teachers from my hometown!

Hello,

I grew up in Fulton County and went to Cuba High School. I noticed that you live in Maqoun. Do you teach at Valley? I am now out in California and we are just getting ready to adopt these common core standards. I didn't realize that Illinois is doing that as well.

Hi Ladies,
I want to thank you for these fabulous units! We are finishing up a great week of pumpkins and are looking forward to making some pumpkin soup tomorrow! Next week, we are going to have some fun learning about bats. I have modified the units to work for my class, and loved the ease of the pre-made organizers. I am new to teachers pay teachers and was informed by a colleague today that I can not share ANYthing. While I have not shared the units, I did share the pumpkin organizers with a couple of my teammates. Please let me know the protocol and if I need to compensate you. I really try to be a teammate that is helpful and collaborates, but I also want to ensure Im following the rules. Thanks!

Unfortunately, the patterns and cycles picture keeps printing with a black ink streak under the word cycles and from the clouds across to the side of the page. It happened both times I printed it.

That's odd! We've never had that happen before. I'll contact TPT and see what is going on. If they can't resolve it we will just send you a copy through e-mail. Do you want to send me your e-mail address?
UPDATE!!! I looked through the site and found this:
If the file you purchased is not opening for you at all, it's likely because you do not have the right application to open it! For example, to open ZIP FILES on a PC, you need something like WINZIP (http://www.winzip.com/trialpay.htm) to open it. If you have the old version of Microsoft Office but purchased a DOCX file or a PPTX file, you just need to download and install the converter here (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=3). If you don't recognize the file extension on the file you purchased, do a Google search for "How to open a .notebook file" for example.

You can try the FAQ as well.

Scipi  (TpT Seller) re: Literature Circle Jobs for Elementary Students
I saw your posting on the Sellers Forum page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your store and a couple of your freebies. My first thought on one of your freebies was that it was only one page with no directions or clip art and therefore would have trouble competing with other free resources offered by TPT sellers.

Here are a few suggestions that might help you to better market your products. First, make a cover page for EVERY product you create which can then be used as an attractive thumbnail to entice buyers, even if it is only a one page resource. Add a second page which is a directions or suggestions page. List several ways you use this product in your classroom. Never assume that a buyer knows how, why, or when to use your product. 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.

It is important that we see what others are doing; so, feel free to look at any or all of my freebies listed below to gather some ideas. If you care to, a rating or any feedback you might have would be great.

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Trash-to-Treasure-FREE-Activities-Lessons-Using-Recycled-Items

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Dots-Fun-FREE-Primary-Grades-Resource-using-dominoes
