I took your idea and had the students make posters using old Ranger Rick and National Geographic magazines. I had 5 groups and let each group start one poster and then rotate to another every few minutes. It was an awesome activity!!

My 4 year olds loved watching the slideshow. Beautiful pictures. Only thing that would be helpful if added might be a caption on each page as to what is depicted.

I tried emailing you at the address you gave below; it won't go through. I've now downloaded the ppt 3 times and each time it is stuck in slideshow. As a result I haven't been able to save it where I want to. My email is wataylor49@gmail.com. I'd appreciate hearing back and perhaps receiving the ppt via email.
Thank you,

Ok I will send it to you. Are you using Apple? That may be the problem.

wtaylor49 re: Space PowerPoint
The ppt only shows in slideshow mode. I want to save it in a location other than downloads but I can't. Is there a way to fix this?
May 5, 2013
The Prep Guys (TpT Seller)
Hi. What system are you using? I can always email you a copy and if need be troubleshoot over the phone. It should've just downloaded as a PPT file and not stuck in slide show mode. My email is dgeis@washoeschools.net. Thanks, Doug

Hey how is it going? I have been making quite a few sales. I have made about $150 since Jan.. A colleague of mine is averaging about $100 a month. We both agree you need to make bigger packages that you can sell for $8-10 a pop. Hope SSES is going well.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
As we know NCLB turned most of us from creative voices to drill and practice coordinators. We lost our creativity and somewhat our identity. I was lucky enough to work for principals that didn’t make me change (even though they tried at times). So I was asked to join a group of teachers on special assignment. Our job is to support teachers in shifting their instruction to meet the demands of the CCSS. I have taught and worked in the field of education for the past 20 years. Thank you for visiting my store. Thanks and keep fighting the good fight! Doug
MY TEACHING STYLE
My teaching style is student centered with an emphasis on the application of learning. I would like to say my style resembles one of a constructivist style of teaching..
