Thanks for including the rubrics for LA and Reading. I think this will make journals less threatening for my intensive reading students since it gives them some choice. Plus, they will work to earn the passes.

taylor5rus re: Wheel of 1st Grade Math Common Core Standards
Hi Upper Grades,
I would like to purchase the 1st Grade Math Common Core Wheel and coordinate colored file folders to match. Is it possible to change the colors on the wheel to primary colors (red, blue, green, yellow)? That way I can buy the multi-colored box of files that come in those colors. Thank you!

If you save the black and white copy as a JPEG, or take a screenshot of it, you can open it in Paint (or similar program) and make it any colors you like!

jamylle re: Calendar Math for Upper Grades - 1st Semester
This looks a lot like the product that Teaching in Room 6 first introduced. Are you working with her?
January 5, 2013
Upper Grades Are Awesome (TpT Seller)
No, I am not working with Stephanie. She has developed an excellent and involved calendar math program. There are many calendar math items on TpT that look similar, but vary in the intensiveness and concepts covered.

Leone re: Science Fair Project Planner
Is there any chance you would be willing to sell a word document of the Science Fair Project Planning Packet? I think it's great but I'd love to fix a couple of typos and add some differentiation as I teach three grades.

I read your blog and saw that you made a Behavior Reflection Form.
Is there a way I could purchase that document from you?

Hi, Is it possible to get the Word version? I would like to have a bit more info about each standard on it so helps students and parents see what each standard is about.
Thanks!

Jill Waldrep (TpT Seller)
Hi,
I just purchased your common core standards to display in the classroom, but after I color copied and laminated them, I see that some of the standards have been left out. Am I missing something? Please let me know how I can get the missing standards such as NF.3 and NF.4.
Thanks

Thank you so much for catching this! I have updated the product with both missing standards. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks again for noticing and letting me know!

vmwilson re: Wheel of 4th Grade Math Common Core Standards
When I try to print page 3, the student copy, there is a vertical line at the top where the name goes and a black box (2x4) appears at the bottom of the page. Is it possible for you to send me a clearer copy? I printed the page twice thinking maybe the first time was a fluke. I definitely would like to use the student page this year. You may contact me at violawilsonnm@gmail.com
August 3, 2012
Upper Grades Are Awesome (TpT Seller)
I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble printing. If you go to your purchase page there is a "download difficulties" link and a staff member can assist you with getting it fixed.

ZiggyND re: Wheel of 5th Grade Math Common Core Standards
I love your common core math wheel! Have you thought about including the standard in kid friendly words in each section? I think that would be beneficial for my students. Thanks for your hard work.

highland re: 5th Grade Math & ELA Common Core Posters/Cards for Display
I have bought the posters but cannot download anything but the sample - what am I doing wrong?
July 5, 2012
Upper Grades Are Awesome (TpT Seller)
Did you use the "Download Now" button (as opposed to the "Download Preview" button? Try deleting the preview download from your computer and then re-downloading the full file. Also, the full file is a zip file that you will need to unzip first to use.
I did double check the file, so it should work. Please let me know if you are still having issues!

Scipi (TpT Seller) re: Science Fair Project Planner
I saw your store on the Forum page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. I left you a rating. Well done! Since you are just starting out, here are a few suggestions that might help you to better market your products.
Add some clipart to add color or just color some of your font. (I do even on high school math tests!) For some reason buyers like color on the original even though they may copy your product in black and white. Also, create a cover page for each of your products which can then be used as an attractive thumbnail to entice buyers. You might also add a second page which is a directions or suggestions page for the teacher. (How do use this? When? Etc.) List several ways you use this product in your classroom. Never assume that a buyer knows how, why, or when to use your product.
Use the footer to put the copyright symbol, your name and date of creation on EVERY page. Items, especially free ones, have been "stolen" from TPT and posted on other sites to be sold. You have to protect all of your creations. Also number your pages. Finally, unless you want your products revised (I do for my tests) save everything in a PDF format as it is harder to change.
It is important that we see what others are doing to gather ideas; so, feel free to look at any or all of my freebies listed below. If you care to, a rating or any feedback you might have would be great.
