Ngoodno  re: Making MORE Words Cut Out Worksheets
Can you format these in word or a PDF? I am unable to open zip files successfully?

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!

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.

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!

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.

Skittles3  re: Sight Word Take Home Materials
I have downloaded the "sight word take home materials" and I am able to open the directions, but the word lists will not open (I have Adobe). It gives me an error code each time. Could you please email me the lists or repost them? elizabeth.treadwell@cobbk12.org

Thank you!

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

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.

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 have tried downloading sentence building parts without any luck. When I look at the file size it says zero. Could that be why I am unable to download them?

Hello,
How do you use the coloring. Do you mark their papers with it. How is it taught.

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.
