Aloha,
I spent 8 years teaching in Hawaii. I hope you are enjoying your time and "playing tourist". I didn't "play tourist" enough and really regret it now. I never thought I would have to leave. I just found your store and really like the common core posters with the tropical theme. Will you be making a Kindergarten set? I teach special education and need multi-level and would like to keep with the same theme across my grade levels. Mahalo Nui Loa!!

Just purchased "Snowman Silliness" and love it. I'm sure my kids will too. When they found Halloween jokes printed on the sides of their milk cartons in October, they told them over and over and over.
I believe there may be an error on page 6. What do "you" get when you cross a snowman and a vampire. The word "you" is missing.
Thank you.

Tchn2nd re: Halloween Nouns
I think the Halloween-Nouns product is great and I think my students will really enjoy it. I guess this is more of a wondering. The students will be able to sort by color of the card border instead of focusing on the actual word. (I have not tried printing in grayscale yet so this may not be an issue if it is not printed in color.) This may make it more of a self-checking activity so if it is more of a practice instead of an assessment that might be your intention. I also love that you extend the activity by asking the students to writing sentences at the bottom of the recording sheet.

Surfin' Through Second  (TpT Seller)
Thank you for your response:) I created this for practice with nouns. I did consider this to be a self-checking activity since I will be working with Guided groups during this time. I have found that many of my students are rushing through centers and doing them incorrectly. I think they will focus on the words because they are fun and have to do with Halloween:) I am sure it will print fine in greyscale if you want it to be more of a challenge. Mahalo for your insight.

Thank you! I look forward to using your posters in my classroom. I love the tropical theme, especially since I'm in Michigan and it will get cold soon enough. : )

Have a great day.

Hi, the tropical LA poster 1RL.2 states, I can tell the message or moral of a story. In the chevron LA poster 1RL.2 states, I can retell a story that I have heard or read. I'm very familiar with the Chevron version, but not the one stated on the tropical poster. These are the preview pictures that I'm looking at. I don't want to buy the tropical package and find out, I have the incorrect standards.

Thank you for addressing this,
Eve

Aloha Eve,
The versions are exactly the same. The standard 1RL.2 is a long drawn out version in the original text. I have broken it down into two steps.
They happen to fall onto different pages.

I can retell a story that I have heard or read. 1.RL.2
I can tell the message or moral of a story. 1. RL.2

I hope this helps to clarify:)

Why is the phrasing of the standards in this packet slightly different than the first grade tropical package? (1.RL.1 - 1.RL.2 )I was going to purchase the tropical package but the phrasing is different. If you used the same phrasing as you have for this package that would be great.

All of the phrasing should be the same for the topical, chevron and plain. I just checked and I did not see a difference.
