Thanks so much for getting back with me about the May Morning pack! I asked our computer tech about it and she had me to just print out 15-20 pages at a time and it worked just great. I'm excited about getting these out to the kids. Thanks! Also, I appreciate you sending me the June pack. That is so nice of you. My email address is pcarr@scsd2.k12.in.us. Thanks again! Phyllis Carr

I had a problem printing Marvelous Morning Work for Firsties May Edition out. The first two pages printed correctly and the rest of the pages are garbled. I also purchased the Marvelous Morning Work for Firsties April Edition and loved, loved, loved it! I know I'm going to love this one too. Do you have any tips on what I might do to get this to print out correctly?

Okie doke...a few suggestions...

2.) A sweet bloggy friend of mine- Jamie over at Second Grade Stuff- has a blog post on just this issue! ;)http://2ndgradestuff.blogspot.com/2013/04/help-i-cant-save-or-print-my-tpt-file.html
There are one or two other suggestions there...namely the explicit directions on how to contact TPT Tech support.
Thank you so much for supporting my store and being SO EXCITED about my pack! :) I think you're just wonderful! :) When my June pack is ready...I will send it on over to you...just for being so supportive of my pack! :) Please leave me your email! :) Thanks!
XOXO,

Sorry! Don't know if my last question went through, so I'm going to try this again. I'd love to receive your Subitizing Free Powerpoints (Johnny Appleseed to 5, Farm Themed to 15, any others), but they will not download for me. They come as ppsx instead of ppt. All of them are exactly what I am looking for to use with my Kindergarten data team! Could you please send them to me directly at: vzweibohmer@masoncityschools.org

I simply love your materials. I'm searching today for Subitizing activities for our PLC Data Team work on numbers. I would love to have your various free samples of Subitizing Activities, but I am not able to open them. They have a ppsx after them but they say they are Ppt presentations. Can you send them to me directly or assist me in getting yours open. I can't wait to see what you have created! It's exactly what I am looking for to present to my Kindergarten Team. Thanks much!

Hi Tamara
ahhhh great teaching minds ... I was hoping and thinking about something like this for kindergarten - non fiction ccwriting and ccmath specifically. Do you have one or have you done one? I was hoping to make it for the k set but I want it to be in a very rebus style so the children can use it. I have referred this one of yours to all my 1st grade teacher friends I hope they buy it and use it WTG!
Thanks

A rebus style...you mean with pictures?? That sounds like it could be really great idea! :) Thanks so much for the referral! I've gotten such nice feedback on these, and they are really enhancing my classroom instruction. It's so great to be on here and get a chance to connect with like-minded teachers on things like this. Good luck on your rubrics. Send me a note when they are done! Would love to check out your preview !:) Sounds like a neat idea! :)

This looks like a great lesson I am going to try it for my observation. I did not see a recording sheet did you just use a piece of paper?

HI Tamara, I absolutely love this, I purchased it last night and its fantastic. Only thing is our report card assessments are on a scale of 3-1, 3 is below grade level and 1 being expert.
Is there any way you could send me a editable copy for me to change your scale?

I would really appreciate it if possible.

So glad that you're enjoying it. :) Due to copyright restrictions for the clip art, I can not send an editable copy of that particular piece. :( I would be happy to make any modifications to it that you'd require for your classroom use. Is that the only change that you'd need? Just to consolidate the rubric to 3-2-1?
Just send me an email with the specifics and I'll fix you up in a jiffy! ;)
Again..
So glad that you like it! :)
