Stephanie McMahon (TpT Seller)
I am sorry you had trouble downloading. I have never had problems with this file until earlier this month so I uploaded it again. Let me know if you need me to send it to you. The ask a question tab is preferred for technical issues. Also, TPT is good about helping with downloading issues since it isn't necessarily the product itself. Let me know what I can do. Have a great day!

I just bought the Diane deGroat pack and Roses are Red won't open. It tells me it cannot extract the files - the destination file cannot be created. The other two stories work perfectly. I have tried this on more than one computer with the same results. Can you possibly upload those files again? Thanks so much! - Autumn

Stephanie McMahon (TpT Seller)
I think it must have compressed wrong because I just tried to open it and it won't for me here at school. I am so sorry about the problem. If you email me at smcmahon@lebanon.k12.mo.us, I will send it to you directly as soon as I get home from school and redo it for the site. Again, I am so sorry.

hi stephanie- i just bought the word work stations all year download. however, my computer is saying it requires an unzipping product. when i went to download the unzipping thing my computer freaked out and said it could potentially harm my computer! yipes! so have you come across this? is it safe? i really want to download your word work center today!!! thx. page
October 7, 2012
Stephanie McMahon (TpT Seller)
Usually there is no need to download anything. If you double click on the zipped file it should unzip. Let me know if it doesn't and I can send you the files.

The link said the blog doesn't exist anymore??? I'd like to see what it looks like before I purchase if possible and the thumbnails are too small for me to get a good idea.

I am not sure that this is any different. I don't why it says it doesn't exist, but it does. :) The blog is more of a how to organize anyway. If you want to see what is in the pack you click on the orange download preview button near the top of the product page and you will find a PDF with 15 of the 34 weeks. If you want to see more of it you could look at 17 weeks from August to December in that preview http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Word-Work-Station-Center-August-to-December
and 16 of the weeks in the January to May preview. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Word-Work-Station-Center-January-to-May
I hope this helps. If you are still not able to see it, you can email me at smcmahon@lebanon.k12.mo.us and I will send you the preview files.

Thanks for getting back with me so quickly. It doesn't seem to work though:-(. To be honest, this isn't the first time I've had trouble after buying a zipfile from TPT. I think the fellow that runs it had to unzip it or something and send it to me. If I should be contacting someone there, let me know.
Thanks much,
Erin

It is in a zipped file because it contains the three different parts. When you download, it goes onto your downloads file of your computer and from there you should copy and paste the entire thing wherever you want it in your documents. Then you should be able to "unzip" it by double clicking on it. If it doesn't unzip this way, you should be able to right click and select the unzip option. Let me know if this doesn't work. I have a mac so sometimes things are done differently, but I'm pretty sure a PC follow a similar process because that is what I use at school.

Stephanie Fryman re: Kevin Henkes Author Study with matching PowerPoint
I just purchased your product and was wondering if you can fix a few things. I am doing an author study for the first time next week and I think this will work out perfectly. I was wondering a few things... On pg 52 return you bag on____ for sharing time! I was wondering if it can be fixed and resent or reposted. I would like to send these home but with no errors. Also on page 9 Wemberly Worried is covered with a picture and is seperated-is there a way that can be fixed. I'm sorry if I feel like I am nitpicking your work because I don't mean to and if I could fix it myself I would but I can't. This packet really is wonderful. I'm planning on doing more author studies throughout the year and I am planning on purchasing more of your products. Thanks
Stephanie Fryman
By the way it's great to find a person on TPT that is in Missouri and so close by. I live about 25 miles southwest of Springfield.

Thanks for letting me know about those things. It is all fixed Stephanie and I added a sheet for Penny and Her Song. I hope that you really enjoy it and this newly cool weather we are having! I am about an hour in the opposite direction.

Hi! How do I access the powerpoint?
September 1, 2012
Stephanie McMahon (TpT Seller)
Hello! I think you are asking about Kevin Henkes, but it isn't showing so let me know if I am wrong. It is a zipped file so once you download it you will go to your downloads and save the file to your computer wherever you want it. Then you click on it to unzip and another folder will appear that you can go into. Inside that folder there is the pdf and a PowerPoint. The only problem from there might be if your version of PowerPoint is too old for the format and it will tell you that it was created in a newer one, but it will still usually open. If it won't open let me know and I can send it to you in an older format.

Thanks Stephanie, that information helps. Is there a blank sheet where I can add some harder words for my second graders?
July 16, 2012
Stephanie McMahon (TpT Seller)
There is a blank colored background and student answer sheet that you can write your own words on.
July 16, 2012
bkphelps re: Magnet Station / Center August to December pack
Are these words from the Dolch list or some other list? What grade level are they? I teach 2nd. Thanks Stephanie.
July 16, 2012
Stephanie McMahon (TpT Seller)
The words are from Making Word Walls Work by Judy Lynch. Her lists have a lot in common with dolch, but are not exactly the same. My August to December is her first grade list and January to May is her second grade list. The other words are common words that I like my students to quickly recognize. I hope this answers your question. Have a great day!

Hello,
I am writing you in regards to the Teacher Appreciation Jack Pot. I made a huge error. I was so excited on Sunday I spent hours and hours on a very slow computer going to every site that participated. I might have looked around a bit and became a follower. I was so inspired by all of you bloggers. Anyways, I went to every single site and added the TPA Freebie to my wishlist because the computer I was on has a virus and was not cooperating. SSSLLLOOOWWW!!!! So I thought if I just add it to my wish list on Monday morning I will download them on my school computer where I do all or most of my school work anyway. I was so excited I woke up super early so I could get to school and download them. Come to find out you had to pay for them. I wanted to cry. I emailed tpt and when they finally got back to me they said unfortunately there was nothing they could do. I was suppose to download them. I don’t recall ever reading that anywhere but I am very new to all of this. They said I had to email each one of you individually. Yes, then and there I just about started to cry. I had 120 items I added to my wishlist. I was on the computer all day Sunday doing this.
I am just wondering if you would be so kind to email or what ever you have to do so that I can download your freebie. I thought I would try! Thank you for your creative inspiring blog!!

I didn't even notice my own name until I got to it. :) I'm loving all of the wonderful products you have on your page, but am going to have to control my inspiration to create long enough to write a paper for class. :)

Hi Stephanie!
Your store looks great! I agree with Scipi about putting a copyright at the bottom of your page and you might want to add a "thank you" page that thanks the buyer for purchasing your item and redirects them back to your shop for further purchases.
I am now following your store and would love for you to drop by mine and follow me if you like what you see. I also have a blog and would love to share ideas with you! Here are the links to my blog and store:

Scipi (TpT Seller) re: Koala Lou by Mem Fox plan
I saw your posting on the Sellers Forum page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. You free product is very professional looking.
Here are a couple suggestions that might help you to better market your products. You might consider adding 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. Be sure to put the link to the products you market at the end of your resource as this makes it easier for buyers to locate them.
If you have time, I’d would really value your input on oe of my freebies listed below.
