Bond with James  (TpT Seller) re: Body Systems Clip Art
Hi TruthMe - your clip art looks great! I am wondering if you will ever add the other systems (lymphatic, reproductive, etc.) to your body systems clip art. I have an activity in mind for the high school level, however, I am having a difficult time finding a clip art set that contains all the human body systems.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.

Thank you for the comment James! I would be glad to create additions to the clip art. Email me at schoolboxtreasures@hotmail.com with a list of the systems you would like added. We are in the midst of testing season so it may take me a week or two to get them done. I hope this ok!

At the time I created this, we were not in the midst of common core, but I referenced Texas standards as I created it so it should align in many ways although Texas does not use common core. I can go through it and mark the standards that have been covered. I will let you know as soon as I have that done.

It needs to be all the dominoes for a set of double nines, including the zero ones. Have you even seen the domino art pictures? They are large. You put 12, 11 x 11 posters up together to form a portrait. You have about five portraits to choose from at a domino art website. We have 12 first grade classrooms in our building and I thought it could be a group effect to make one.

Good Evening, I am a brand new seller and I saw back in May of this year that you replied to someone saying that you use Powerpoint to create your products. Is there anyway I can ask you some questions about using Powerpoint? I hear a lot of people use it but I'm not that familiar with it and all of its uses and perks. Anyhow, thank you for your response back then and I look forward to your response. Have a great holiday season!

Just watched your videoscribing post in the forum and wanted to let you know how awesome it is!

I have a website now and am considering taking it to the next level and creating a video site. Videoscribing would be a great way to introduce many (math) topics. Would you be interested in doing contract work in videoscribing (project not to begin until after this school year). Please eMail me at algebrasuccess@gmail.com if this is something you might be interested in.

It requires a better artist than myself or anyone in my circle to communicate effectively in this medium.

Finding Joy in Sixth Grade
Hi. Me Again.
When I use the key next to the "enter" key, I get a "greater than or equal to
" symbol. With shift, I get what I think is the symbol for parallel lines. After over an hour of trial and eror (and, yes, I used the glph guide), I found that using the tab key brings up both the division sign and the square root symbol. Six keyboards in the house--not one had a "right" and "left" quotation symbol as indicated in your glyph guide. Just in case you get this question again, you might suggest trying the tab key...

I told her I would make a product like that so she could use it lol! Who knows, you might have beat me to it! I should have checked first I guess!

Hi - just purchased "Poetry Analysis" and am excited to use w/my classes. Can you clarify one task on the chart - what does "Complete idea within more than one line" mean? (It's next to # of stanzas and rhyming poem).

Thanks!
Please email response to: scamelis@aol.com
January 22, 2012 Report inappropriate comment
TruthMe
TruthMe  (TpT Seller)
I sure can! What it is asking is if the sentence stops at the end of every line or if the idea continues to more than one line.

For example:
A "no" answer:
The moon was bright,
It shone the light,
It totally made my night!

A "yes" answer:
The moon was so bright that
it shone a light on me.
It brought a gladness to my
heart that I could see.

I hope this makes sense! :) Mainly it is for getting kids to recognize where the complete ideas are ending and that not all poetry has one line per idea.

I'll email it as well! :)
