Wise Owl Factory (TpT Seller)
Dear Sandra: This is a HUGE file and is in a zipped folder. The folder will appear on the desktop before the file is fully downloaded. So, please try again, and wait to be sure you have 100% of the file. Then, if you are still having a problem, buyers on TpT are supposed to contact TpT and their wonderful staff will help you. I'm sure they will work this out to your satisfaction. So go to the bottom of the page, click on contact us, and open a help ticket. They will respond quickly and help you in every way possible. Thanks, Carolyn

maisha re: Beginning, Middle, and End Writing, SMART board and PDF
I really like your lessons but am having the same problems as mentioned below. The paper clip respond with - Can't find the linked file. Also, is this page with the paper clip the only one on the file or are there other pages to download. Are the rubrics, beginning, middle and end pages and the last chapter story (space) on you download. I would really like to use these without redoing them.
March 16, 2013
Wise Owl Factory (TpT Seller)
Dear Maisha: I'm so sorry you are having trouble. It might just be that you are not waiting long enough for the file to load. Sometimes it works to drag the PDF onto your desktop and then open it (go to the paperclip tab on the sidebar and click, find all attached there). When you have tech trouble on TpT, buyers are supposed to contact TpT and their wonderful staff will help you. I'm sure they will work this out to your satisfaction. So go to the bottom of the page, click on contact us, and open a help ticket. They will respond quickly and help you in every way possible. Thanks, Carolyn

teachershoes re: Reading Strategies Lessons and PDF Printables for the SMART Board
Can you explain what the slides are about in the reading strategies? Can you send me a sample so that I can see what it looks like? I am not sure that I already don't have ideas such as those....thanks
January 10, 2013
Wise Owl Factory (TpT Seller)
The reading strategies files are the result of my having a background in gifted ed and several years of training in reading strategies (our whole school studied them for four years). So, it would be difficult to explain what they are all about. People have used these with students and even to inservice teachers to explain reading strategies. Inferring, synthesis, text connections, asking questions, and so on are all included. I'm sorry somehow I didn't get an email that you asked a question and I didn't see this until today. I used them with first graders, but they could be used up through grade four, I feel. The free demo has some of the slides in it. Maybe you are well versed in reading strategies already! Carolyn

Dear N Harrigan: I'm so sorry! I haven't heard of this problem before. First, are you letting it FULLY download before you click on it to open it? Sometimes we click too soon because it looks like it is all there, but we really haven't to wait. I do that sometimes, anyway. The other thing is you can open a help ticket on TpT and the help desk people will help you figure it out. Go to the bottom of the page, click on contact us, and tell them your problem. Thousands of people have been able to get this PDF so I think the TpT people can help you. Good luck! Carolyn

Hi, Marilyn, please give me more information. The zipped folder won't open? The SMART board file won't open? Or the PDFs won't open? Please tell me so I can think of how to help.

Try this: click on the paperclip tab on the side of the slides. Do not view full screen, be sure the small slides are on the side. The tab on the side will show a panel where the PDF files are. Slide each one on to your desktop. That should work. Open them from your desktop. It might be something about your settings. Actually, for tech help, you should open a ticket and get answers from TpT. I will alert them to your issue in case you need to contact them. I am sorry you are having trouble. Carolyn

And, I have a free ebook along with links to YouTube videos that completely explain how I make my products. It is at this blog post: http://www.wiseowlfactory.com/BookaDay/archives/6776 You will have to copy paste that URL address to get to the post, and the free ebook is right there. It is not a link to a store. Thanks for asking! Carolyn

I have purchased the Calendar Math Aug. 2012 - June 2015 and Printable Student PDFs and want to begin using them with my students beginning in Dec. By the tally marks you have used the terms flats, longs and shorts. Are you talking about hundreds tens and ones? If so, could I have them with those terms? Thanks. I teach 1/2 special ed and a change in terms would really confuse them, but they need to know hundreds tens and ones.

azteacher30 re: Substitute Day Plans: ABC Order Sub Day & Smart Board Lesson
Hello, I just purchased this product and it says that it comes with 75 PDF pages. All that I received is that Smarboard pages. Is there something else that I need to do? I do not know if my sub is able to use the Smartboard, so I wanted to use the PDF pages.
November 4, 2012
Wise Owl Factory (TpT Seller)
Hi, you had me worried so I downloaded it myself, and on the first screen there is an arrow pointing to a paperclip. There are two ways to get the 78 page attachment. You have to click on a paperclip. There is a paperclip at the edge of the arrow pointing to one paperclip. When you click on the paperclip the PDF will open. SMART Board also has tabs on the side of the slides (it might be on your right or left depending on what you have set up). Look on the sides of your slide, one tab has a paperclip. Click on the tab paperclip and the PDF is there. Click on the PDF and it will open. This is a standard way to open PDFs on SMART Board. Please let me know if you still have trouble. Thanks for writing, Carolyn

baumannk23 re: Determining Importance Reading Comprehension Strategy Power Point
I'm having trouble getting the PDFs that are hyperlinked in the powerpoint. I've clicked on them when the hand is showing rather than the arrow, and a box appears to click yes to allow but then it says it can't be found. Any suggestions?
September 17, 2012
Wise Owl Factory (TpT Seller)
Dear Baumannk23: I'm sorry you are having trouble. First, I have gone through and noted in red letters which slides have PDFs on them and there are several. So, please re-download and be sure you are trying to open PDFs.
I'm not sure what you mean about a hand and an arrow. PDFs do not open in view slide show mode, only in normal view where you can see the slides on the side. Animation on the slides only shows up in view slide show mode. TpT has a help system and prefers you ask them for tech help and not sellers. The support system is on this page: http://support.teacherspayteachers.com/ and you would open a ticket to ask about this issue. Just double clicking on the PDF should open it. Thanks for asking and I hope we can get this resolved quickly. Carolyn

Can you use this with mimio board software?
August 19, 2012
Wise Owl Factory (TpT Seller)
Dear rosiepop123: I am sorry I don't really know (but keep reading), but I will tell you I have a free web site with many Smartboard and Power Point lessons and you could try those out to see if they work.
What I do know is you can project from your computer onto the Mimeo screen, correct? You can project any lesson or web site. So one that that would work well is to use the online SMARTboard express viewer so you don't actually go through Mimeo and you can project and interact with SMARTboard lessons for free. http://express.smarttech.com/ At this instant site you can view, save, and interact with Notebook files for SMARTboard for free. It is an easy site to use. You could try it with my free lessons at http://www.thewiseowlfactory.com Also, you could try asking tech help at TpT at info@teacherspayteachers.com because they probably know. Good luck! Carolyn

I have a small problem... the letter Ll in the "owl-alphabet for class-decor is NOT the same. It is the Owl letter Ll for the other set with all the colors.

I have a small problem... the letter Ll in the "owl-alphabet for class-decor is NOT the same. It is the Owl letter Ll for the other set with all the colors. Is there any way that you could make me the Ll owl with the orange polka dot border.So that it matches? Please??????? I will send you pics when my room is done because it looks amazing.

I teach fifth and sixth grade reading. Is this too young for them? It looks great, but I just want to make sure

Hi, I have taught grades 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I have taught sixth grade gifted ed. I would use this with those ages at a faster pace than the lower grades. The worksheets are open-ended so the students may write at their own levels. The art is not babyish. Just the text connections part would be too young. I took reading strategy classes four 4 years and this product is the result. Carolyn

I purchased your Owl themed set and love it. I have one question...Is there any way that you can make the small pastel letter cards with the same brown owl as the pennants and the large posters. I want to use them for my word wall that has to go on my cabinets. If not, I will try to have the printer make the image smaller.

I did make the pennants smaller and added it to the product, did you see the updated file? I wrote here that I did and now I see my comment is gone. If that isn't what you wanted will you please let me know. You can also print the alphabet 4 to a page, it is a printing option, and you can get the cards to be smaller in size. Thanks, Carolyn

Hi! I bought the owl class set and love it! I do have a question...on the alphabet, what is the word that goes with the letters "H" and "F"? I feel silly asking but I really just don't know. Thanks!
July 20, 2012
Wise Owl Factory (TpT Seller)
Dear Lindsey: Not a silly question! I am going to add to this pack when TpT allows 100 MB uploads which is supposed to be soon, and I'll have a word wall and some work pages for the alphabet. So, H is high as the one owl is looking up high at the owl flying in the sky, do you see the little owl up in the right hand corner? It reminds me of birding. And then the F is figuring it out, the thinking owl is figuring something out. Thanks and check back for updates! Carolyn

Yes, that would work. I have many free Power Points and lessons on my website http://www.thewiseowlfactory.com and you could experiment with some of the math Power Points to see how that would do for you. Thanks for asking! Carolyn

I am interested in making SMART board lessons to sell or share on TPT, but I have had difficulty finding any clip art that is acceptable to use (most say do not use on SMART board presentations). Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Dear Aplum7878: This is what I would say to you. Join TpT as a basic seller (you don't have to be ready to sell to join, and it is REALLY free). Then go to the forum area and start reading all the sellers have to say. There is a green bar at the top of the forum area, and you can press the search word (not in the top white search area, that always goes to lessons). Put in the words clip art for SMART board. I have just recently learned that http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Graphics-From-The-Pond will allow SMART board use with a few sentences saying the graphics are from that clip art source. Most clip artist will NOT allow any graphics on a SMART board and I have had a pretty terrible time hunting down people willing to let me use their art on presentations. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Masketeers will also allow SMART board use but you have to reduce the file size a lot as their graphics are large. Also, you must give credit for that artist on the presentation. Good luck! You can really learn so much in the seller's forum prior to being ready to sell. Good luck to you! Carolyn

I was wondering if you would allow me to share your free resources file with the Kindergarten Shapes Game at a work session we are having relating to the new Common Core Stanards? We were asked to find and bring resources and your resource is very impressive. It would be going to the other K teachers in my district. Thanks....

Thank you for your time. You have many great resources.

I could zip it up for you so you could get it that way, not open it, and then put it on a flashdrive. Or, you could download the free Smarttech software for your home computer, and then view it at home, and save it. On this page http://smarttech.com/us/Support/Browse+Support/Download+Software there is an express software version http://smarttech.com/us/Support/Browse+Support/Download+Form?download=SMARTNotebookExpress3_0Mac and if you need support there is a fee but the software is free. SMART Notebook Express enables educators to open, edit, save and share .notebook files from anywhere, at any time, it says on the site. Or I have another idea and my email is cwilhelm@thewiseowlfactory.com. Let me know what you think! Carolyn
