QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
knittingandreading re: Marvelous Myths - Greek Myth Reading - Unit 2
I bought the myth unit recently and was quite excited to use it. However, there are MANY errors. My class has read three myths so far (Zeus, Athena, and Icarus) and each myth has typos. Most are small, but in the Icarus myth, there are some major errors (i.e. "Daedalus was sentences to love on an island work for King..."). These prevent my third graders from being able to read it accurately. In addition, the family trees are not organized correctly. I am very disappointed in the quality of this unit. Is there an updated, revised and correct version? I noticed feedback from other buyers that this is not the first time the complaint has been made. I also bought this in April, so corrections should have been made.

Chrissy Bryant (TpT Seller) re: Guess The Word - Pre Primer Dolch Word Sight Word Game
i would like to purchase you pre-primer sight word game to add to the freebie, but i want letter cards for all the letters of the alphabet as well. the freebie is missing the letters:
g, j, k, p, q, s, u, x, y, z
if i purchase the pre-primer set will i still be missing some of the letters of the alphabet? i'd love a set of the ladybug cards w/ all the letters so my preschool can use the uppercase magnet letters we have to match w/ the lowercase and my kinder son can play Guess the Word.

hhaynes re: Marvelous Myths - Greek Myth Reading - Unit 2
I'm looking at your myth unit, and was wondering if there were any myths included that I might be able to find a parallel nonfiction article on. I'm trying to locate resources, such as a myth and nonfiction article, that would both be explanations of a certain topic. I'd like student to write about the similarities and differences found in both texts. Thanks!

I just wanted to let you know that one of the sentences says "president lincoln was born on february 12nd " instead of 12th! Oops, I just saw the comment from nancydrav4... where can I find the corrected version?

I would like to make these half size to fit two on one page. Any suggestions, or have you even tried this?

nancydrav4 re: Presidential Capitalization and Punctuation
I just downloaded your free presidential sentences product and I found what I think to be an error. It should read february 12th instead of february 12nd in regards to Lincoln's birthday. Just an FYI!

ariannejohnson re: States of Matter Student Book
Not sure if this is a dumb question or not, but what do you use on the pages that say examples....magazine pictures, printouts, or draw the objects? Also, it says to use your molecule pieces to show what they look like. Is there a place that I can find those? Thanks so much.

Do you have other units for other common core standards.

I would like to know if you have a lesson packet for common core standards 3.RI.5 and RI 3.9?
December 28, 2012
TheLocoTeacher (TpT Seller)
3.RI.9 is the focus of my next CC lesson packet, along with 3.RL.9. 3.RI.5 is a standard I have no been able to incorporate into any of my reading lesson thus far, sorry!

grandmatoday re: Sight Word Surprise - All Dolch Words - Monsters
Is there any way the font could be changed? The upside down looking "s" is confusing and if there are 2 "L" together they are so close you can't tell there are 2.
December 14, 2012
TheLocoTeacher (TpT Seller)
Absolutely - I'll have it up this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion!

rbetancourt re: Trickster Tales - Fables and Folktales Reading - Unit 1
do your assessments that come with the trickster come with answer key?
November 28, 2012
TheLocoTeacher (TpT Seller)
I will be adding one on Saturday. The assessments are open-ended questions, so the answer key will be more like a rubric of unacceptable, acceptable, and exceeding answers.

I LOVE the "Journal Prompts for the Entire Year"...what a great group of creative ideas. I was wondering if ( & really hoping that) :) you'd consider making another set for June, July & August. Thanks so much!

I haven't done it yet. I can get them started next week, if that works for you! Thanks for the suggestion!

susmith222 re: States of Matter Student Book
I just downloaded your unit on matter and was wondering what you do with the cheese and orange and whay the mystry substance is?? And what are your ides for the last page, "Creating Something new?" One more thing, How do you use the "Let's make a Prediction?" page? What are they trying to preict?
Thanks so much! It really is cute!!! I just want to use it correctly.

Sorry I am just now getting back to you!
If you ever need to reference this, I have a post about it on my blog at: http://thelocoteacher.blogspot.com/2012/03/im-90s-kid.html
The Cheese - I shred the cheese with a grater so it goes from a solid to a solid.
The Orange - I cut it open, so it is still a solid. But then I squeeze the juice from it so it is now also a liquid.
The mystery substance is pudding. The mix is a solid and the milk is a liquid, and we discuss what state of matter the end result is.
I use the Let's make a Prediction page for the experiments we do. So if we were changing a solid into a liquid (ice into water), I would have them write and draw the steps of the experiment. So they would draw the materials in the beginning (ice). Then they would predict what was going to happen when I explain the experiment, such as adding heat. Then they would draw what the end result was when the experiment was over (water). The last box is for them to explain if their prediction was correct or not.
Creating something new was just an additional page if you have further experiments you would like to personally do.
I hope that helps! I apologize again for my late response.

I would love to have more anchor charts like these for reading strategies, etc. Have you made any more with the owl theme?

I have not made any additional signs, but I'd be happy to do so. What reading strategies were you interested in?

Where is the anchor chart for the "common" words?

We created it in class based on the words and subject area we were reading about.

I am so sorry, I just now saw your question! If you would not mind, can you email me at thelocoteacher@gmail.com and we can communicate that way? I'd love to help in any way I can! Welcome to the wonderful world of ESOL.

TWElaurenscott re: States of Matter Student Book
Hi! Thanks so much for sharing this matter resource. I think the last page of the book should be about changing a gas in two ways, but the word in the box says 'solid.' Then the first sentence mentions changing a gas, but the second sentence says solid again. The matter book is amazing! I just wanted to let you know about the last page.

SpEd Teacher's Helping Hand (TpT Seller) re: Fraction Models
What is the non-example column for?
February 21, 2012
TheLocoTeacher (TpT Seller)
if the fraction is 3/4, a non-example would be leaving 3/4 of it NOT shaded and 1/4 shaded. I talk with my students a lot about easy mistakes to make or rules that are easy to forget, such as counting the shaded part or drawing equal pieces. So that is the non-example is for, for my class at least.
