Halloween Story Samples, HELP with TPT Downloading Issues, AND Elmo!!

We survived Halloween!!! Well, at school anyway. I'm sitting here ready for trick-or-treaters!

I'm sure you do not want to see any more Halloween posts, but this is a follow-up to a post I already made. Last week, I posted an idea I had for creating Halloween stories using foam stickers. Here is that post. Today I completed the activity with my kiddos and they loved it! Here are some of their stories:





Also, this message goes out to you TPT sellers. Do you have people that download your products and say that a page or two is unreadable??? MOST people that download my stuff have no issues, but there has been a couple that haven't been able to read part of the document. In my opinion, it has something to do with the program they are using to open the file...but I don't really know. So, my questions really are:
1. Do you have this same problem?
2. If you do, what do you tell them??
Thanks!

And lastly, I have a random obsession with Elmo. I've been looking for an Elmo lunch box for years and look what I found at Old Navy this weekend:


Yippy! Happy Halloween!

  4. I have had the same issues with TpT downloads. I have somewhat figured out that it is Mac users that have most of the problems. I send the file to them again in a pdf or through a googles doc link. One buyer said (mac user) that the problem was fixed after they downloaded Acrobat reader. I do my best to help them out....but it can be very frustrating!

    Good luck!
