Hi there,
I recently just updated my PBL Units and would like to send you the updated versions of the units you've purchased. If you'll email me at kparker@GoTeachGo.com, I'll send them to you via email. (I haven't figured out how to email through TpT with an attachment.) I'm also very interested in constuctived feedback on the units, and would love to hear from you on that matter as well.
Best wishes,
Kate

I have not purchased any of your Units, to my knowledge. Also, I am pretty sure TPT allows for anyone to download updated versions as they change.

Please use the doc format and make the change until I get a chance to do this.

Rachel Gibbons (TpT Seller) re: Making Words Cut Out Worksheets
Which book are these words from? I went on Amazon to buy the book but there are several books by that title and author. Is it the kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade or maybe the grades 1-3 Multilevel book?
September 29, 2012
varkgirl (TpT Seller)
It is the multilevel book. Looks like there might be a new version out though so I can't guarantee 100% it will match up (although I would think it would be ok). http://amzn.to/NYnFgh

No, but you should be able to match it up with the words in the book. http://amzn.to/NYnFgh The title of each document is the mystery word :)

On your number of the day worksheets, I don't have quisenaire rods, and they are not standard issue in our district. Would you be able to maybe make a version that has another more common type of manipulative, or some other question type there?

Hello, My 2nd grade team purchased both of your making words cut-out worksheets and are looking forward to putting them to good use next year. We would like to purchase the Cunningham books to accompany the lessons we are orgainzing in to our resource files. Wanting to make sure we order the right ones. Is the Making Words from Good Apple/Carson-Dellosa; copyright 1994; and the Making More Words from Frank Schaffer; copyright 2001? Thanks for helping clarify. Sincerely, Melanie A.

sorry-- my question posted about the lines was about the making words activities :)
February 12, 2012
Renee Keeler (TpT Seller)
Have you considered adding lines to the worksheets? I did that on one document and also made a point system for them to count up points for words made (ties in a little math and some competition, too)
can't figure out how to attach it here_
I would need to email it to you :)
Thanks again!

Mrs. Maiolo,
While searching for information about genre study I found some lesson plans you made. They are August/September- Establishing procedures for Daily 5 and genre study. They are WONDERFUL! I am starting my second year this fall and will be teaching second grade at a very poorly resourced district. The plans you made are so well done with page references, mentor text, and chart information. I'm thankful to have found them. I decoded to see what else you have done. I checked out your website and it's now bookmarked in my favorites. I'm also following you here.
I'm wondering if you have similar August/September lesson plans for launching Writer's Workshop. Please let me know if you do.
Best wishes to you!
Tonya Arnold

I would be interested in using some of your materials on my website universalhomeschool.com (this website is due to be released in August 2011). The site will mainly focus on teaching videos for children who are being homeschooled, or need the extra help. We will offer math, reading and writing. I started building this site about a year ago and during this time I have been creating videos, quizzes, worksheets and lesson plans. I originally wanted a site that would be available for free to parents and teachers. Unfortunately because of the cost of the hosting, development, materials, and other overheads having a free site would be impossible so I will be charging a yearly fee to have access to the site. This will be anywhere between $30 and $50.
Therefore I am asking you for permission to use your work on my website. I will pay for your materials, give you the credit, create a link to your page and give you free membership.
If you are not interested, that is fine I understand. Let me know if you would like to discuss another agreement.
Thanks
Gary Joseph

It was your continent chart. Unfortunately, because it is your main freebie, there is no product description attached to it which means a buyer has to go to your product list to figure out what to do with the chart. Just something to think about.
May 18, 2011
varkgirl (TpT Seller)
The chart can be used alone as you teach elementary students about the 7 continents - have them fill in the info as you go or draw small pictures or write key words in each box (this is what I do with my second graders). I also have a set of powerpoints for each of the 7 continents that can be used alongside this chart that can be purchased here: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Continents-Powerpoints and a webquest that I created a long time ago that might be helpful: http://web.mac.com/varkgirl/iWeb/Continents/Introduction.html
Hope this helps! Thanks for your suggestions.

I just downloaded your freebie, but have no idea what I am suppose to do with it. Here are a couple of suggestions to increase your sales. First, create a cover page so that you have an attractive, eye catching thumbnail to entice buyers. Secondly, always write a page of instructions to place before your product so that your buyers know how and why to use your product. Good luck as you sell on TPT!
May 17, 2011
varkgirl (TpT Seller)
I have many free items and I am not sure which one you downloaded, but if you read the item description that might help. Someone searching for the specific items I sell would know what to do with the items. My sales are good, and I don't really have the time (or the inclination) to make cover pages, etc. I am just trying to make a little extra cash off things I already have/use myself. If I can provide any help with the item you downloaded please let me know.

glytle re: Making Words Cut Out Worksheets
I ordered the making word sheets-how do I get them? I paid through paypal.Also, I can't find my book. I need a list of the words you can make. glytle@gmail.com
January 10, 2011
varkgirl (TpT Seller)
How to get them is more of a question for TPT in general. There should be a download link or something?
From the FAQ: How will I receive my purchases?
Digital items will be delivered via instant download. Once you make your purchase, download links will live for 30 days on your "Download/Rate My Purchases" page which you can access when you're logged in. Be sure to print and save your products before the 30 days are up. Hard goods, both teacher-created and used items, will be shipped to you by the seller within 3 days of purchase. Buyers can contact sellers through their 'See My Purchases' page on their 'Manage My Account' dashboards.
Also, I cannot give you the lists of words to make because I do not want to violate copyright. You would need to buy the book to get that information.

lauralc re: Making Words Cut Out Worksheets
the free download only shows the page that students use to record their words. Does his product acutally include the pages from the book that have the letters and the words you can make from it? I've seen the book but don't really want to but it. Thanks.
November 5, 2009
varkgirl (TpT Seller)
The product is 100s of pages like the blank free download with the actual letters in the spaces at the top. The lists of words you can make are not included. You really need to buy the actual books to get that info.

I start the year with teaching them to color the capitals green and periods red. The other colors are added over time. They use these colors to color their own sentences when they check their work before turning it in.
