Overall was great, but where was the chart supposed to go? and where was the index sample?
May 22, 2013
The Literacy Garden (TpT Seller)
I revised the file to include an index sample graphic. You will be able to download the revised file for FREE by going to MY PURCHASES tab. :)
Usually I prefer to have my students write their own sample index by referring to one of the books in our classroom. I provide a lesson on how to use an index to go along with the page in the notebook. I find it more meaningful than simply cutting and pasting a graphic.
Thank-you for your purchase!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
henricb re: APRIL Daily COMMON CORE and MORE! {Grade 2}
Do you have all months for 2nd grade? Or just April and May?
May 15, 2013
The Literacy Garden (TpT Seller)
I will be writing the other months over the summer so you will have them in time for the new school year! They have been very popular with other teachers and I have personally been using them with my students and find them quite helpful. I encourage you to become a follower (if you aren't already) because you will get notified as I add each new month and you will be able to purchase them at 50% off the first 12 hours after they are posted!! It's my way of thanking you for supporting The Literacy Garden :)
Thanks for asking!

Amy Verble (TpT Seller)
Do you have daily common core and more for August or September for second grade? Already thinking for next year :)
May 4, 2013
The Literacy Garden (TpT Seller)
I will be working on those over the summer! In fact, I will be creating one for every month. If you aren't already a follower, I encourage you to do so. The advantage is two-fold: Tpt will e-mail you when the products are available, + I will have them at 50% off the regular price for the initial 12 hours after posting them :) Thank-you for your encouragement and support Amy!!

trw422 re: APRIL Daily COMMON CORE and MORE! {Grade 2}
Do you have this for first grade? Wonderful resource!
April 1, 2013
The Literacy Garden (TpT Seller)
Great Question! My plan is to develop these for grades 1 and 3 eventually. I began with 2nd grade because it is my current assignment and I like to try my products out in my classroom first before going public with them. Please e-mail me at TheLiteracyGarden@gmail.com about which skills you'd like focused on for May and I'll get on it!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Although I have over 20 years in elementary classrooms working with students and staff, I feel like I'm still on the journey. I love to learn new things and share ideas with others. Being a teacher is more than a career, it is a passion that grows through the synergy of other teachers like you!
MY TEACHING STYLE
There is nothing more exciting than seeing the world through the eyes of a second grader. They are so excited to learn new things. Guiding them to new discoveries and providing opportunities to explore the world around them best describes the type of classroom I try to create.
