Q: I bought this but I can’t open it….. It says Windows cannot complete this extraction- the designation path is too long…. Can you help me with this?
A: Please make sure that you have downloaded the purchase and saved it to your computer first. If that doesn’t work, please email me at Elementaryisland@gmail.com and I can help further.
Q: Are all the paragraphs indented? Glancing at the conclusion sentence paragraphs, I am not sure that those paragraphs are indented? I would definitely need to use a resource that does have indented paragraphs as I teach that as part of the paragraph. Thanks 🙂
A: No, the paragraphs are not indented since there are not any multi-paragraph examples. I’m sorry.
Q: I’m interested in this resource, but I would need to be able to edit the anchor charts as my class is Spanish speaking. Is this possible? Thanks!
A: Thanks for the interest. The anchor charts are not editable at this time. Sorry.

This worked out perfectly for our week of review on how to write a well structured paragraphs. The visuals really helped the kids understand what the expectations were, and they really loved getting to complete the worksheets and fill in their own sentences!

Using this to introduce parts of a paragraph to my students. It separates it into different sections so students can get practice on what a proper paragraph should look like. Great to help their practice for their future writing assignments.

I started my writing time this year with sentences and moved to how to write a paragraph. This is the perfect resource!! I love that you have the anchor charts included along with practice. I would LOVE more practice options for each part of the paragraph, but these gave my class a great start. My students wrote the most adorable paragraphs about their besties at the end!! Thank you for this great resource.

I can’t say enough about this resource! I used this with my grade 1s near the end of the year and wish I had found it sooner! We had been discussing adjectives and focusing on descriptive writing. We created “monsters”, just fun cut and paste with construction paper! Once they were done we created mind maps/webs of words that described their monster (focusing on appearance), then moved to writing a rough draft, and finally a good copy using the hamburger outline. I modelled each step before the students began. I can’t wait to use this organizer this year!!
