Hi Jennifer - I bought the intermediate camping unit made by your friend (for my 2nd graders) last year, because I didn't know about yours... My kids loved it and I want to do it again, but the two units seem very similar. Would it be worth it to buy your unit this year? Can you tell me what is different?

Just right books are books that are on a child's independent level as well as meet the purpose for the reading and are of interest to the child. It is basically readability. Not too hard, not too easy, just right. Does that make sense? You have inspired a blog post. I need to get on that. There are so many thoughts on just right. I'll share more soon at sergidralus.blogspot.com. Hope you check us out!

It doesn't have Guided Reading lessons. These lesson are more an interactive read aloud/shared reading type of lessons. You could do some of the vocabulary work and or ideas during Guided Reading. But I don't have suggestions for leveled text. Folktales and Fables are rather complex. I know that my second graders needed a lot of support and scaffolding. Most of them are not independent on the books recommended. I hope that answers your question. Although, if you have ever used Fountas and Pinnell's LLI kit they have a few folktales and a fairytale in that kit. (The Blue kit) I think it is in the higher levels. I can't remember the level, and I am away from my classroom. I can find out if you are interested.

Link worked today so that should be fine. If the Discovery Education website isn't working go to www.Discoveryeducation.com. Type in the title of the video you want to see and you can stream it from your computer. This website has a wealth of information on it. Does your school have an account? If not, you should ask them to get one. It is well worth it. Outstanding videos and clips!
Let me know if that doesn't work.

Trina R Dralus  (TpT Seller)
I think the shifts represented are easy to adapt, but you will just want to choose much more complex text. The questions should be text based as well. So this unit might be used as a guide for what you might do, but the days spent on foundational skills and language skills are probably far too simplistic for 4th graders. I hope that answered the question.

There aren't any word wall words. This is more of a back to school beginning pack. Are you looking for high frequency words, vocab., or word families? Also, I usually print on regular paper ( in color), glue them to construction paper, and then laminate them to make them a little more sturdy. You could print them on white card stock to save you the trouble of the construction paper. Hope this helps! Have a great year!

They are separated by reading and writing, and the ELA vocab packet is everything all together. I wrote that on the description, but I think it is still confusing to people. I have noticed that two people bought them all. There is no need to do that. The yellow cover ELA Vocabulary contains every strand in Language Arts. I would like to send something to those who bought them all. I don't want teachers to waste their money. I hope this answers your question. I'm sorry if I confused you.

I love your stuff! I am teaching first grade in western ny this year and had the idea of having a camping theme and thanks to you I don't have to reinvent the wheel! Question: would it benefit me to purchase both the 1st grade material and your partners for 3rd 4th and 5th....I could adapt some of the ideas?

There is no need to buy both. We collaborated on this project, and mine has the primary adaptations. They are basically the same without the adaptations. We did that so people could get what they need at different levels. Thankfully, I have the benefit of adding all of her great ideas to mine, so you will have access to them as well through the primary packet. I hope that makes sense! Good luck this year. I love first grade. It has been a while, but I just love how much they grow and change throughout the year. Thank you for the kind words.

I bought this from you and I am beginning my plans based on a district framework and I noticed that in your data section, you dont have words like chart, tally mark or table. Do you have this words somewhere else in your products?

A lot of that is from Scrappin Doodles. I also used Morguefiles.com for the photos. They have a huge selection of copyright free photos. You have to be a member, but It is a free membership. Hope that answers your question.

Trina,
The word 'category' is spelled incorrectly on the word wall words (I think it's fine everywhere else). Can you fix it?
Thanks! I'm so excited to use these this year!

Hi Tina,

I just bought one of your packages and I wanted to know-could you turn the homework folder cover so that it lays the other way? Sorry, our folders are already ordered. Also, is there any way I could get a copy of the surfboards with out numbers on them? I thought they would be really cute for bookbag labels.
Thanks so much! This is a cute package!!

I would be happy to. Can you give me your email and I will send it to you directly. It may take a few days because I am having my tonsils out tomorrow. :( But I will do it as soon as I can.

It is done. I just need to have your email so I can send it to you.

I added it to the packet under special requests at the end. All you have to do is download. Hope this helps. :)

Do your flash cards have only the word on one side? I wondered if the definifition could be printed on the other side?

The paper can be folded and this will allow the word to be on the back of the definition.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching for 15 years in the Florida public schools system. I have 5 years in 1st grade and 10 years in 2nd grade.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe in project based learning and learning by doing. I also believe in setting high expectations and believing that my students can reach these goals. I also believe that each child is smart in a multitude of ways, and it is my job to find the best way for each chid to show what they know. I also feel that children should be stretched in all areas of intelligence so that they can grow as a person and as a learner.
