RobinApalategui re: Human Body Systems Student Encyclopedia Research Project
Hi, I bought your research project today on my school computer and the words are all blurry. They are just thick black lines. After reading your response to Kaessert1, I came home and updated my ADOBE READER and tried it again on my home computer but it is still coming out with no words. Anything I can try or you can try to fix it? I really love this project and want my kids to do it.
Thank you for your time,

I just purchased your Thinking Through Multiple choice Reading Tests. It looks like it will be very useful next year. I do have 1 correction I think you need to make - one the 2 "overalls" pages you put "thing" when I think you meant to put "think".

Hi Barb, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have uploaded a corrected version and done some additional revisions (including 2 options for the "Inferencing" step--also could be called "Interpreting") and I added numbers to each of the questions on the question sorting cards so that it's easier to talk to students about the specific questions when you are sorting and discussing them as a class. Thanks!

Where can I find your clip art of the human body to purchase from the Body Systems Encyclopedia. My principal will not let me use the cover page for my class because it includes extras systems. I don't see the problem but....I'm not in charge.
May 6, 2013
tarheelstate teacher (TpT Seller)
Wow! I won't say anything about that! But, if you would like for me to change the cover for your needs, just send me an email at lifeloveliteracy@gmail.com and I will remove what you do not need. (The clip art was a purchase to make the product and I would hate for you to have to spend more in order to be able to use my product. I can get it to you tonight if you send me the email. Thanks!

Hi, Please read below. If this does not work, try to re-download perhaps on another computer. I am happy to help, but have not had others with this issue and have had sold over 90 of this product.
If you purchased a PDF and it is blurry after you open it, solve it this way: on a MAC or PC, install the latest version of ADOBE READER. Then, open the file with ADOBE READER. That's it. On a MAC, make sure to "Open With" ADOBE READER and NOT Preview. If it's still blurry, that's because you are still opening it with Preview!

March 29, 2013
tarheelstate teacher (TpT Seller)
Hi, thanks for your interest in my character trait sets. The main goal of these cards is vocabulary development and giving students access to easily learning and applying new words to the characters in their books. These cards should help with RL3.3, RL3.7, RL4.3, L4.3a, L4.5c, L4.6, RL5.3, L5.5c, L5.6. and fit nicely into readers' workshop lessons and the language components of the Common Core. Thanks!

Hmmm. I have not had this problem come up before. Have you tried re-downloading it? Sometimes things don't come through in adobe, but will load when you download again. Also, here are directions from TPT that may help. Please let me know if you cannot get it and we can find another solution. Thanks!

NicholeLagasse re: Theme in Literature Common Core Bulletin Board Labels
I was able to download easily, but on pages 3-14 the letters run into each other and overlap making it difficult to read the word. I tried to change the paper size to legal, but that didn't help. Do you know how I can fix this? Hopefully there is an easy fix. Thank you.

Have you tried to re-download? Sometimes the document doesn't load properly in Adobe. I am thinking this is the case if you are able to see some pages and not others. You also may need to make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe. Hope this helps...if not, you can email me at lifeloveliteracy@gmail.com and we can troubleshoot from there.

Just wanted to let you know that I gave your Character Traits cards a shout-out (and a link to your store) on my blog. I loved using them in the Fall, and created a Character Traits Puzzle Person activity that I sell on TpT. I think those cards moved my students light years ahead of where they were last year!

I'm not sure how I can fix this on my end. The document was made in Microsoft word and was downloaded as a PDF. I think if you make sure your version of Adobe is updated, it should work. If downloading it again does not work, I would try on another computer.

Nichole Chaffee (TpT Seller)
Which is more challenging the house building themed task cards or the cupcake shop themed ones? I am looking for some fun VDay activities for my kids where they will be multiplying and dividing fractions.
Thanks!
Thanks!
February 7, 2013
tarheelstate teacher (TpT Seller)
Hi Nichole. Great question. The House Plan themed cards are more challenging, especially if students do not simplify before they multiply the numbers (but I tried to design them where they were able to simplify most of them before multiplying). The cupcake problems are for the most part more straightforward. Both preview downloads have the problems/answer key included so that you can see the kind of math students will be doing. Hope this helps! Have a great Valentines day with your students.

The product is in a zip file. When you hit download, hit save, then the zip file should come up in your download window. You then have to open that and it opens like a folder. If you still have trouble, I would suggest trying to open it on another computer. If you would like me to email the files to you, you can leave me your email and I will send them. Thanks for purchasing!

In response to your comment, I have looked at the file a few times, and there is not a student recording sheet for the task card questions in my pack. It is not a big deal, I can easily do the whole fold the paper thing, but I wanted to let you know since it sounds like it's something you meant to include. Please let me know if you update the file. Thank you!
December 29, 2012

The recording sheet is in a separate file from the task cards packet. When you downloaded, was it a zip file? You can leave me your email and I'd be happy to send you the recording sheet file separately. Thanks!

tarheelstate teacher (TpT Seller)
Hi, here's the recommendation from TPT if you open a blurry PDF. I have not had another buyer mention that this file is blurry so I think it has to do with the reader you are using to open the file.
"If you purchased a PDF and it is after you open it, solve it this way: on a MAC or PC, install the latest version of ADOBE READER. Then, open the file with ADOBE READER. That's it. On a MAC, make sure to "Open With" ADOBE READER and NOT Preview. If it's still blurry, that's because you are still opening it with Preview! "

Katie Reed (TpT Seller) re: Words Their Way Word Searches Within Word Pattern Spellers
Do you have a key for your Words Their Way Word Searches? Or, if you are able to tell me how many words are included for each search, that would be helpful as well.
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!
November 13, 2012
tarheelstate teacher (TpT Seller)
Hi Katie, I have not created answer keys for the word searches. If you look under the title of each puzzle, it should say how many words are in the puzzle. If you have the yellow words their way sort book, that's where the lists came from. Hope this helps! Thanks!

Sara Stewart (TpT Seller) re: Themes of Social Studies (US History) Overarching Bulletin Board
Do you have a copy of the information to fill in the blanks of the worksheet/on the board? Maybe because I am new to teaching and the content, some of the areas I feel like I am making a stretch to fill in with Native Americans, so I was curious of how a more tenured teacher might go about doing this. Just curious! Thanks for this awesome idea!
November 7, 2012
tarheelstate teacher (TpT Seller)
Hi Sara, this is the first year I have used this bulletin board and for me, it is not necessary to fill in all the parts for each time period. I'm sure you focus on a few of the aspects during your unit (like culture and maybe geography) and not others. During different time periods, different themes might be considered more important. I'm not sure which themes you are talking about specifically. But, if you take democratic ideals for example, aspects of our constitution came from the Iroquois Constitution. You might not talk about this until your government unit, and can fill it in later. Hope this helps!

koellerich re: Words Their Way Word Searches Within Word Pattern Spellers
Hi, I am not sure if others have had the same problem but the letters in the word search part are kind of hard to make out. The directions for the search are very clear, but the actual search is not. I'm not sure if it is the font or what. I've tried a couple things to see if I could make it better, but I can't. Any suggestions?
November 4, 2012
tarheelstate teacher (TpT Seller)
Hi, the word search is a snipped image from the word search program I used, so it's not possible for you to change the font or look of them. The image looks lighter on the computer, but if you print them off, they should be dark enough for student use. I am using this exact file in my classroom and students do not have trouble seeing the word searches clear enough to find the words. If I'm misunderstanding your issue, please let me know and I will see what I can do. Thanks for your purchase!
November 5, 2012
spice4fitz re: Words Their Way Word Searches Within Word Pattern Spellers
I absolutely love these word searches. They are great ways to reinforce each of the sorts. I do have one question for you, I am looking at Sort 42 and the word search does not seem to have the "ch" and "tch" words within it. Is there another version that will have those words within the word search?
Thanks again for sharing this resource.

Hi, thank you for so politely bringing this mistake to my attention. It looks like I copied the list for 41 again when I made puzzle 42. I corrected this for both versions of the WWP word searches. You should be able to re-download the product files for the correct version. Again, thank you so much for being so supportive and kind! We love the word searches in my class too! :)

gutwein re: Words Their Way Word Searches Within Word Pattern Spellers
I've used these for the first few weeks of within word lists, and find that most of the words listed are not included on the word search. Is this intentional? For example, cvce long/short 0 search contains only ose words for the long o.
September 16, 2012
tarheelstate teacher (TpT Seller)
Are you using the Within Word Pattern Spellers companions volume (it's a yellow book)? I used the second edition word lists to create the word searches. The actual Words Their Way book may have the lists more combined. I did not include the word lists in the product because I felt that was against copyright and that these word searches are meant to go along with the companion book's word lists. (The companion book I used is linked here: http://www.amazon.com/Words-Their-Way-Pattern-Spellers/dp/013514843X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347987851&sr=8-1&keywords=within+word+patterns). Please let me know if you are using this book and still do not feel the word searches match up or if there is anything else I can do. Thanks!

I just downloaded it on my school computer and it came through fine. Perhaps downloading it again would work...if not, I can send it to an email and see if that would work.
And, I just realized someone else also had this problem but they were using a mac. Hope it works for you and thanks for featuring it. Will you be sure to link to my tpt store and my blog?
Thanks!

JessicaDickerson re: FREE Reading Comprehension Thinkmark Foldable
I tried downloading the reading comprehension thinkmark foldable, and it seems that all of the text is blurred out with black rectangles. I'm downloading it as a PDF on my Mac, which I usually have no problem doing. Is there something else I should be doing in order to have it download correctly?
April 2, 2012
tarheelstate teacher (TpT Seller)
Hmmm...I just downloaded the foldable from the site and it came up correctly for me. I think it must be your computer. It's been downloaded a few times and no one else has commented that it didn't come through. Hope you get it to work...maybe just trying again to download because sometimes Acrobat has issues.

kmeadow re: Measurement Customary/Metric estimation Conversion Questions Set 2
I bought what I thought was two different products from you. One was test questions about customary/metric measurement, and the other was titled the same but added questions 2 (which I thought was a different set of questions based on your product description.) Is there something I don't understand about this or is this as misleading as it seems. I feel like I paid for the same product twice--at least that is how it downloaded for me.

tarheelstate teacher (TpT Seller)
Thank you for your question. I just downloaded and double checked the products you mentioned. If you look closely, the problems are actually different. In need of one set of questions to teach from and one set of questions to allow students more practice, I created similar questions with different numbers so that students could apply what we discussed while they were learning how to answer measurement questions. Please let me know if you still feel you were misled or if yours did not download as the two different sets of questions.

Jordyn Jenkins (TpT Seller) re: Measurement Customary/Metric estimation Conversion Test Questions
I downloaded this file but does it come with an answer key?
January 29, 2012
tarheelstate teacher (TpT Seller)
I did not create an answer key for the product you downloaded, but the following larger product for cross system measurement does contain answer keys and more test prep questions.

Would it help to email you the word doc? I'm not sure how else to help with a mac. I know others have been able to download the product today.

Why did you leave out the 1954 Supreme Court decision, Hernandez vs Texas, one of the most historical civil rights cases in the US? It not only made Mexican Americans equal to whites it also made history when the Supreme Court justices asked Gus Garcia, the attorney, to present 16 minutes longer than anyone has ever been able to present before a Supreme Court. See A CLASS APART, the documentary about it. Thanks, Marti Sopher cacllc@charter.net

I apologize if this offended you. I based the timeline off of the PBS website mentioned in the product. I teach 4th graders and therefore have this unit focused on Civil Rights for African Americans so that we can build on other American Injustices later in the year and next year. You are welcome to include any events you know of that are not included in my packet for your own students.

I'm not sure how to help download to a mac. It is a pdf, so you would need Acrobat Reader. Are you normally able to open PDFs? I can send it to you in email if that would help at all.

tarheelstate teacher (TpT Seller)
Hmmm...I just used both download buttons and it came up correctly. Are you able to download pdfs? It may be something with acrobat reader. Perhaps if you try again it will come out correctly. Please let me know if you can't get it to work and I'd be happy to send through email. Thanks!

Hello! I purchased your 48 character trait cards. I can't open the file using my home computer and my work computer has a block on TpT site for login, etc. I wanted to know if you would please email a .pdf version without the zip file format. My email is: dktn7@comcast.net
The cards are a great resource!
Thank you!

Thanks for any help you can give me.

This is a zip file, which means you have to download the zip file and then it has quite a few documents within that file. Are you able to download the zip file and then still having trouble? It does sound like a block on your end. Let me know if you aren't able to get it, and I can try emailing all of the documents to you.

Sandra Olmstead (TpT Seller) re: ~8 Geometry Vocabulary Activities~
There are errors on at least 5 of the pages that I could see when I just quickly looked. For ex. the polygo game is on 2 pages, and the title is on 2 lines; the word cards break words in half to fit on the next line; and the concept charts are strangely cut in the middle. I will try to download and print it at home to see if it makes a difference. I am thinking maybe some fonts that you used are not on my school PC making the spacing odd. What fonts did you use?
January 14, 2011
tarheelstate teacher (TpT Seller)
If you will email me at tamaralynn_@hotmail.com, I can send you these files in pdf...I like to leave them in word docs so that teachers can easily make any changes they want, but I can get you the PDF's so the formatting is not an issue for you. They are correct on my computer, so I think it is a font support issue for you. Could you highlight the fonts and just change them to something else? Sorry for the hassle!

Sandra Olmstead (TpT Seller) re: ~8 Geometry Vocabulary Activities~
Hey there from one former tarheelstate teacher to another-
I purchased and downloaded your geometry packet but some of the spacing and fonts are not printing correctly. Do you have a corrected file that I could have? Thanks

Hmmm...The vocabulary cards print correctly from my file. I think you just mean the 1st sheet--give one get one in the vocabulary packet. I will re-upload that. Let me know if you need a different version of the vocabulary cards also.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I am in my 8th year of teaching. Most of my teaching experience has been in 5th grade, but I taught 4th grade for two years and looped with those classes. I have a masters in Curriculum and Instruction in Reading and received National Boards Certification in Middle Childhood. Being an elementary teacher, I teach all subject areas and think about ways to engage children in content through collaboration and discussion.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I teach through reader's and writer's workshops. I teach in small groups as much as possible in reading and math. I often develop activities that allow students to work in partners or small groups to encourage discussion and allow them to learn from one another. The importance of vocabulary instruction is also embedded in my teaching.
