I really enjoyed using these with musical math seats. However, I think they are aligned more to 2nd grade common core. I am so thankful I still looked at them. Do you have any other sets reading/math? I would love to see them. It was an EXCELLENT resource for quick assessment of the review skills . Thank you so much

was it ever made in Zaner Bloser by chance? I want to consider making "Kindergarten" in these.
May 22, 2013

I don't have them made in Zaner Bloser but I could look into it and see if I have or could get the font. I do have them in D'Nealian print.

Hi there,
I think you must've been looking at a picture from someone else's site. I did a redo on an eight drawer tower with scrapbook paper and vinyl letters on the outside. I'm not where the idea came from that you're referring to but I know I've seen it on Pinterest. Sorry!

Rose Mary Betancourt re: Out of This World Informational Writing Mini-Unit
Where their books that used with this unit. First teacher, and I don't see any directions with this unit. Did you do prior lessons on the planets before you began this writing assignment? How did you introduce this unit?
January 15, 2013
Wendy Smith (TpT Seller)
We did this towards the end of our solar system unit. My students selected books from the library about a planet. They took about a week to read the book and take notes, a week to write a draft, and a week to revise, edit, and publish.

I wanted to let you know that when you download the preview of the Crayon Box Craftivity, you actually receive the entire packet without paying for it. This didn't quite seem right to me and wanted to make you aware of it so you could fix it!

Hi Carrie,
Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! I totally downloaded the wrong file as the preview. I'll blame it on the beginning of the school year craziness, lol.
I'd love to give you a product from my shop as a thank you for catching this error for me. Please let me know what you'd like and your email address and I'll get it to you soon. =O)
Thanks again,

Teach On A Limb (TpT Seller) re: Graphic Organizer for Summarizing
Hey Wendy, I just downloaded your summarizing graphic organizer, which I love. The only thing is that when I printed it the margins were really large. I had to blow it up on the copier so that it really filled the whole page. Is there a way that you could adjust that? I didn't want to leave anything less than a stellar review and that was really my only constructive thought. Thanks!!
November 13, 2012
Wendy Smith (TpT Seller)
Hi there, I downloaded and printed the document directly from TPT and it printed with about an inch margin on each side. Was the margin larger than that when you printed?

Hi Wendy,
I hope you don't mind me contacting you! I found your wonderful resources when I did a search for Bloom's Taxonomy. I've downloaded your posters - thank you so much for making them free :) I was wondering if you could tell me where you found the borders that you used for those posters. I've fallen in love with it and wouldn't mind using it for other things in my classroom!
Thanks, Kim

Hi Kim,
Thanks for the sweet words and I'm glad you can use the Bloom's posters. I purchased the black frames from Print Candee. It's been awhile but I think that they were called Black Doodle Frames.
Hope this helps!

I sent you an email so you would know where to send the preview of my order. It is tough to not want to change your classroom color and theme often. I have so much invested in mine, that I have to stick with it! =)
Talk soon,

Hi Julie,
I have your alphabet banner ready!!! =O) What is your email? I will send it to you to preview. My email address is onehappyteacher26@gmail.com so you'll know where it's coming from.
I know the banner will look awesome in your classroom! I love the teal and green together. I promised myself (and my hubby, lol) that I'd stick to the same color scheme and theme for at least a few years so I have up the solid red in my room because I started a Hollywood theme last year. I think it looks great though!

Wendy,
Thanks for being open to changing the font on the teal and green chevron alphabet banner for me. I understand that you are busy with your own classroom, but if by chance I could have the new one by Sept. 11th I would be so happy. I want it up before Open House. =) So, I have never done a custom order. You'll have to clue me in. =) I would like the upper and lowercase letters in D'nealian print instead of cursive. If you don't have the font, I could add it if you make them editable. $3.00 is a great price!
Thanks!

Hi Julie,
I can certainly do upper and lowercase letters in D'Nealian print for you. I can get them to you by Sunday evening. =O)
I've only done one custom order so far (I'm still learning all of this too!). What I did in that case was email a preview of the product to the teacher to make sure that it was exactly she wanted. After she let me know that it was right, I posted it in my TPT store and just labeled it "Custom ..." That process worked well so if you're ok with it, that's what I'll do.
Thanks,
Wendy

Hi! Oh, my! Your products are too cute! I am loving the teal and green chevron pennant alphabet. Would you consider making one in D'nealian print instead of cursive. My classroom would be complete then! I would expect to pay for it, despite the cursive one being a freebie.
Thanks,

Hi Julie! Thank you for your sweet words! I would be glad to make these for you with D'Nealian print for a small fee. I wish I had to time to customize for free but it is so hectic right now with it being the beginning of the school year! I would charge $3 for the set. If you're still interested, please let me know.

pumphreyk re: Colorful Reading Strategy Posters
I really like these posters, but my district has them broken down differently: Prior Knowledge, Ask/answer questions, make connections, infer, predict, draw conclusions, identify the main idea/details, important information vs. unimportant information, sumarize. Would you be willing to make posters for these categories? I would be willing to pay for them!
Thanks!
Thanks!
August 7, 2012
Wendy Smith (TpT Seller)
Hi, I would be glad to make posters for you in these categories! I would charge $3 for them.
Would you want the general format of the posters the same with title of strategy at the top and then guiding questions down below? Also, would you want the backgrounds to be the same (colorful), all one color, or a certain print (polka dots, chevron, etc)?
If you are still interested, please let me know the specifics and I will work on them right away.
Thanks,
Wendy
