aghate re: Curriculum Year Planner
First, thank you for sharing a great planner! I had a question about the page layout and print options. Is it only possible to print this as a one page whole year in view layout? I've tried adjusting the margins, etc. I am familiar with Excel, but not expertly so. I wanted to print your planner a little bigger and across three pages instead of three rows on one page. Can you guide by any chance? Thanks so much!

Traci Clausen  (TpT Seller)
Hi there,
I can help you out with that. If you look at the instructions, you will find directions on how to print it "poster-size". However, it will take a little "tweaking" to get it to print across 3 pages. It will be easier if you email me your planner as you have it so far @ dragonfliesinfirst@gmail.com

I'm sorry, because the files are digital and there is no way to truly return them, there are no refunds. For my "higher" learners, I always increase my expectations for writing lessons and still allow them to create the craft (because the kiddos LOVE doing that!). The pack is designed to work with K-2 students, but as with everything, you know your kids best and need to make adjustments to your lessons as necessary. Hopefully this is something you will consider with your kiddos.

Traci Clausen  (TpT Seller)
Hi,
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. I hope this will answer your question. There is a detailed explanation of how the files are organized in the instructions that came in your download. Each file in the download (Australian, Elementary and Middle/Jr. High) has several file options inside them (with or without holidays and older and newer versions of Excel. Then, each actual workbook has several tabs with various sheets. For example, the elementary traditional workbook contains 6 tabs/sheets. All of these choices allow teachers to have a multitude of choices so they can find a planner to suit their needs. If you need more explanation or help, please email me.

No. They are Excel programs. Although Numbers can open some Excel files, there is just too much in these for Numbers and it doesn't convert. However, the planners are compatible will all versions of Excel for both Windows and Mac.

Absolutely. Be sure you have your Exel set to show column and row headers (Excel/preferences/view/show column and row headers). This will make adjusting column widths easier. You can change them to any size you wish. Please email me if you have questions :)

lcott re: Skip Counting With My Gnomies - Skip and Coin Counting Practice
Are there opportunities for the students to practice just skip counting skills or does the unit focus more on counting coins? Counting coins has been eliminated from my province's math curriculum for grade one. Thanks, Linda lott@telus.net
March 29, 2013 Report inappropriate comment

Traci Clausen  (TpT Seller)
The coins are there in case someone wants to use it for coins, but mostly I have my kiddos just use it to skip count using 5 and 10 and we do a little to apply it to coins just while talking about it. Download the preview to get an idea. There is a freebie there. It includes a little interactive reader and a game that practices the same skip counting concepts as well.

Hi there. Be sure you have your Excel Preferences set to show column and row headings. That makes adding and deleting columns and rows much easier.

Please be sure to include me in your update. Thank you so much! By the way, I am listed as a seller, but I'm really not. Not at this time anyway. I've enjoyed buying a few products, however.

polanka re: The Ultimate Weekly Planner
Hi, Traci, I am a single ESL teacher at a K-8 school plus I do reading intervention, so I have to keep track of at least 9 different sets of curriculum frameworks for each subject that I am pulling out of as well as the matching lesson plans. To make matters worse, many of the classes start at odd times such as 11:20am. Can your planner help with scheduling classes that occur at different times each day, often for different lengths of time? It would be great if I could keep all the plans together on just a few different sheets instead of the 12 notebooks that I currently have. (I am also considering your yearly planner.)

Hi Traci,

First of all, thank you so much for creating EXACTLY what I have been trying to create for the past few years! Quick question...I have a Mac and I am trying to add multiple lines of text in to one cell of your yearly plan. I am holding down the key and hitting at the same time, which I thought was how you did it, but it isn't working. It sends my curser to the next cell. Any suggestions? Thanks again!

Be sure you have checked "wrap text" for that cell so that the text will type in multiple rows in that cell. You cannot hit return ... just keep typing or add extra spaces to move on to the next row within a cell. Hope that helps. Feel free to email me :D

I'm happy to help. It can be tricky if you aren't familiar with Excel. The first step is to make sure your Excel is set to "show column and row headers" in preference. After that it is easier to resize rows. Excel uses "insert row" to add rows. Please email me. It's much easier to help via email. I am happy to do it for you. if you have already started entering things on your planner, send that too so you don't have to start over.

Traci, I purchased this planner as it is the closest thing to usable I've found. However, I would like a larger format. Say: A two page format with 8 squares on each day, with the first square being the size it currently is and with the planning columns in the front as you have them now. I'd like to be able to put in a binder and have a two page spread to look at. Easier to write in and to see! Would you be able to help me with that? Thanks! Deb S.

I cannot wait to start using your weekly planner!! Thanks a millions for helping all of us overworked teachers! But I cannot or rather don't know how to edit the planner. So far all I've been able to do is to rename the first page. I haven't seen the rest of the planner and its layout and how I go about being able to write my plans down. Please Help!! Thanks ever so much! Can you send a step by step tutorial as to how to access it and begin my plans?

This looks like a nice starting template. I currently use excel to do my plans like this, but I really like the style element you have. One problem I'm running into is font. What font is used? It is coming up ugly old Arial. I skimmed through your blog & directions, but I'm not finding that info (could be me). Thanks.

PS...would you be willing to help "dress up" or customize what I already use?

Hi,
No the CCSS are not included in this version - although I hope to include them in a future version.

I don't know. It should let you save. Did you try quitting and restarting Excel and trying again?

Oh no. I'm sorry. I don't know why that would happen. Have you contacted Teachers Pay Teachers?

Hi Traci!

I downloaded this product, and I was trying to go to your website to see how to put it all together, but I can't get the link to work. Is there another link to use? Thanks!

Hi Traci,I am a resource teacher and have fifteen different time slots throughout the day that I work with students. I like the look of your lesson plans but was wondering if they would work for me. Thanks, Pam

Hi Pam. I believe they would work very well. If you'd like, I can give you an idea of how I'd set it up - then you could see if you like it. Just email me an outline of your day... dragonfliesinfirst@gmail.com

I printed out the extra states and cut Florida out which was very hard because it was so small. It did not cover california. Could you please send me a blank circle where the state goes or a bigger Florida?

Traci: I did download the directions but the directions and what I'm seeing onscreen are 2 different things. I'm not computer savvy and this is frustrating I want my icy bak. I was so hoping it worked

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught primary for over 15 years. I am passionate about teaching literacy and try to incorporate it into all subject areas whenever possible. I enjoy creating things for the kiddos in my class and sharing those things with you.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I want my kiddos to LOVE school. I try to make sure that whatever I ask of them is engaging, meaningful and fun as often as possible.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

So many shining moments in teaching! I think its impossible to list them. Helping to open a new school from the ground up was a huge move and task... but extremely rewarding. HSA 2006-2007

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I have both a multiple subject and a single subject credential {in English} as well as a Master's Degree in Education.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I LOVE creating things for elementary schools and teachers. I would be happy to make some of your suggestions. Just let me know what you need!
