June 7, 2013
The Peanut Gallery (TpT Seller)
Hi there! I am sorry, but the pack is uneditable due to copyright agreements that protect the artists' clip art. I hope it will still be useful! I am happy to hear you love it! Thanks!

Hi there, but they can not be edited due to copyright agreement with the artists whose clip art I have used. They would need to be handwritten. So sorry! I hope they will still be useful. :)

If you could make them that would be great! I have preschool graduation on Monday so i would like to get the ready as soon as possible! I have an owl themed classroom so this would be perfect

I just purchased the parts of speech packet and when I printed preposition, noun, verb, and pronoun there was an overlay of lettering. The other pages were fine. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

Hi there! I am wondering if you have the most updated version of Adobe Reader installed on your computer or if you have a Mac. If you go to your purchases page, you will see the word "blurry" flashing. There is a link there to download the newest version of Adobe for free. If you have a Mac, go to your downloads folder. Open your file with Adobe, not your default reader which is “Preview.
If that doesn't work, try this advice from TpT Tech Support:
1) Open the PDF file with the newest version of Adobe Reader
2) Click 'print'
3) Click on 'advanced'
4) Check the 'print as image' box, and this should cover all potential issues
If none of these things work, is there another printer you can use to print it from to try that? I hope one of these suggestions helps. If not TpT will need to be contacted so they can help you troubleshoot from their end. If all else fails you can open up a ticket with TPT at https://support.teacherspayteachers.com
I hope this helps, and please let me know how it goes. I want to make sure you get it sorted out! :)

Hi there! I am not sure if you mean name tags for the students to wear or name tags to put on little welcome bags, etc. There are tags that say "Welcome to My Class, ___________" From: ____________
that would work well as name tags on goodies, etc.
Thanks so much for your interest! :) Happy Friday!

youngjanicegale re: "Book Buffet" Fiction Book Report/ Book Project
I cannot see the detail well enough to tell, I'm wondering if this would be appropriate or too difficult for 2nd graders. Thanks. I'd love to purchase it, but want to be sure I'll be able to use it.
May 8, 2013
The Peanut Gallery (TpT Seller)
Hi there! Thanks so much for your question! Well, I guess that depends on what you feel your second graders can handle. I am not sure what level they are. The book report involves students identifying the title, author, genre, reason for choosing the book, setting, main characters (along with character traits), writing a summary, and answering some opinion questions. They put all of these components on a food item that they create.
I hope this info helps you to decide whether or not it would work for your kiddos. All the best! Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

Roberta Haren re: Poetry Posters and Practice Pages
Good afternoon- my students (5th grade) and I are loving this unit! The kids are using the pages to create Mother's Day books- haven't done something like this in years. My dilemma is this: we discussed what would be in a book if we actually published it. The students want a dedication page, a table of contents, and a "back flap" about the author. I am looking for one of the below requests:
1. The name of the borders and the fonts you used for the pages to create these additional pages on my
2. A way to create my own using what I purchased
-or- 3. A possible additional purchase of these pages created by you
I appreciate both your time and your talents. Take care- Roberta J Haren

Hello,
I purchased your "Bite Of Poetry" hoping for black and white copies of the BOOK. I only received b/w of the hamburger. Is there something else I need to do to print the booklet? This is my first TPT purchase so I certaily could have messed up.
Please advise.
Many thanks. It looks terrific! Perfect for the end of the year.

The Peanut Gallery (TpT Seller)
Hi there, Susie! I am a bit confused. The burger is the booklet. As the description states:
"The booklet is in burger form with two buns for the covers. The pages inside (or burger ingredients) are where students write their good copies of the poems. Stack all the burger ingredients together, add a few staples on one side, and you have a delicious sample of student poetry!"
Do you mean you only received the burger and not the buns, cheese, lettuce, etc.? The black and white booklet pages are on pp. 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20. The burger booklet also comes in color.
The other pages are for students to write their rough drafts. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. I am honored to be your first TpT purchase! :)

Hi there! I am sorry, but my products are in secure, uneditable PDF format due to copyright agreement with the artists whose clip art I use. I hope they will still come in handy! Enjoy!

Hi there! Thanks so much for your inquiry. I created the kindergarten and second grade posters as special requests for some friends, so those are the only two grades I presently have.

Every New Beginning Blog (TpT Seller) re: Climbing Plot Mountain (Graphic Organizers & Posters for Teaching Plot)
I have read your description several times and I wanted to clarify something. Does this come with sample paragraphs for the students to put into order (or to complete the organizer for)? Thanks!
January 27, 2013
The Peanut Gallery (TpT Seller)
Hi there! Thanks for checking. No, there are no paragraphs included, as I really felt that to do justice to teaching plot, it would need whole stories. For that reason, I picked a well known story ("Cinderella") that I felt most students would already know and most teachers would be able to find and included a sample plot line for that. That way, you could read the story to them or have them read it, identify the parts of the plot, and then either use the sample provided as a key or a student reference sheet.
This set mainly focuses on some fun graphic organizers and colorful posters with definitions of plot. They can then use the organizers to identify plot in stories they are actually reading rather than generic paragraphs from a practice unit. I know that if I wrote my own stories, they would in no way compare to real books, so I prefer to use read alouds for whole class practice with the graphic organizers. Hope this helps! :) Thanks again for checking and have a great week ahead!

brownfet re: The Winter House: Point of View Poetry Templates
Which point of views are covered in the poetry? Is it only first person point of view?
January 26, 2013
The Peanut Gallery (TpT Seller)
Each house has two templates. One template contains a fill in poem which would use first person point of view (from the point of view of the house). The second template for each house has just blank lines so that you can have the students write any sort of poem you prefer in either first person (from the point of view of the winter house) or third person (about the house). If you view the thumbnails, you will see both types of templates. Hope this helps! :)

What size is the train

The Peanut Gallery (TpT Seller)
Hi there! When you print the train, each car prints on one sheet of paper (lengthwise). It would depend on how many train cars you need for students in your class or how you might like to use it. Hope this helps!

Jodie Bishop (TpT Seller) re: "Whooo's Ready for School?" (Owl Theme for the Classroom)
Hi there! I really love your owl themed stuff and have bought a couple of things plus this pack. I am wondering if you may be able to alter something for me, I am in Australia and was hoping you could change the owls that have the uncle sam hats in July and for History and Social Studies. THey don't have to be Australian, just more non descript. Its winter here at that time if that helps, but just a fun loving owl would be fine if at all possible. If not I understand :)

I absolutely LOVE your Christmas homework passes!!!! Is there a way that I can modify them to be coupons for other things besides homework? Thanks so much for all your work, it is amazing!

Hi there! Thanks so much for your kind words. I am sorry, but my PDF files are not able to be edited or changed. As a seller, I am responsible to the artists to secure their clip art, and it is a term I agree to for the right to use their work. However, I may add some coupons in the future that can be used for a variety of things (thanks to your suggestion)! I appreciate your feedback! :) Happy holidays!

Hi there, Michele! I think that sounds like an awesome idea! I teach sixth now (have taught 3-6) and would join in, but most of my products are geared for 3-6 and are probably too "cutesy" for many middle school teachers. I think it is a great idea and a great way to get the word out about all the middle school products available!

dchristian52 re: Teaching Personification: Creative Activities for the Classroom (Common Core)
I am using your Conduct Book in my classroom this year. I would like to know if the student receives a warning, #1 and makes it through the day without a second warning, do you start off new the next day on #1 again or do you proceed to #2 and a letter home to the parent.

Hi, Deborah-
Well, I think teachers can incorporate my conduct book method in whatever way works best for their own classrooms. I teach sixth grade, and I personally feel that too many warnings sends the wrong message. I have found that if students feel they can get warning after warning with no real consequence, the behavior will never improve.
For this reason, I do not clear the slate until the marking period is over. This means that if a student breaks the rules today, he/she signs the book and it is a warning and just between the student and me. If the student breaks a rule two days from now, it now goes to a parent notification. It continues this way until the marking periods ends. Then I start a new page for each student.
Our marking period ends November 2. I have almost 120 students and I can tell you that out of all of them, I have sent home only 4 parent slips and given one detention so far. No one has moved beyond that. I really feel that the system works for me. I hope you will make it your own and find it useful, too.
If you have any other questions, just let me know. You can also email me at:
peanut_gallery_3@yahoo.com

Love your owl themed "awards...

Hi there! Thanks so much for your kind words. Unfortunately, I would not be able to create anything with the Peanuts gang due to possible copyright violation. With my name though (The Peanut Gallery), it would have been fun! I love them as well! :) Have a great day, and thanks for your question!

Hi there! I am sorry, but my PDF files are not able to be edited or changed. As a seller, I am responsible to the artists to secure their clip art and it is a term I agree to for the right to use their work.The unit contains pages for grades 2-6. It is really only the Popping Into... pages that have grade levels on them. Did you want to use it with a higher or lower grade? If so, just let me know which grade level and your email address and I will be glad to help you out! :)

Adventures in Room 5 (TpT Seller) re: Literary Genres (Posters, Review Cards & Genre Game Pack)
I already bought these, but I was wondering if the titles were color coded in any specific manner? Like I noticed that fables, myths, and folktales are all brown, but I didn't know if there was supposed to be any other pattern. Love them by the way!
August 22, 2012
The Peanut Gallery (TpT Seller)
Hi, Cassandra! I am so happy you like the genre pack! I really didn't color code them. I just chose the graphics and then chose colors I thought would blend nicely with the graphics for the titles. It was an artistic choice instead of a rational one! Haha! I hope you enjoy them!

Hi there! I am sorry, but my PDF files are not able to be edited or changed. As a seller, I am responsible to the artists to secure their clip art. When I purchase PDF files from other sellers, I usually type what I want, paste it on the label or poster and laminate it (if a poster) or cover with a strip of clear packing tape (if label). It always looks pretty cute! Thanks for your question. I an so glad to hear you love the owls!

bertabert2003 re: "Whooo's Ready for School?" (Owl Theme for the Classroom)
I don't mean to be a pest....this is just HOW much I love this file. Would you consider making a separate number file to purchase, with the owls up to 120 to meet the needs of common core standards? I originally only have room for a number line to 50, but decided I really NEED to find the room for numbers up to 120. I would really appreciate your consideration. Thank you so much!
August 4, 2012
The Peanut Gallery (TpT Seller)
You are not a pest! I just added a set. See what you think. They are the same style numbers as in your owl set from 1-120. Hope they work out! Enjoy! I'm glad you love the file so much! :)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have been teaching for over 20 years and still love it! Over the course of my career, I have taught several grade levels including third to sixth. I love the sense of humor children have, and I feel so grateful that I can spend every day with them!
MY TEACHING STYLE
I believe that children learn best when they are having fun. Lessons should never be monotonous; they need to be visually appealing, challenging, and motivating. My students never know what teaching tricks I have up my sleeve, and I like it that way. It keeps them engaged! Creativity and a sense of humor are integral parts of my teaching style. I also enjoy incorporating art and music into my lessons when possible.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
Although I have received honors/awards from my school district, my greatest honor is hearing former students (many of whom are now adults) tell me I made a difference in their lives or inspired them. Some have even returned to tell me they want to become (or have become) teachers because of me. I can't think of anything better!
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I have degrees in both Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I hope you enjoy my products as much as I enjoy creating them for TpT!
