I am a subscriber, so I regularly receive your emails. I am grateful and often use things at home or in my 4th grade classroom. It would be great if you could send subscribers a code to unlock downloads in a secure page on your site instead of having to hit the download & subscribe button every time. Sometimes they come through and sometimes they don’t. (I actually get them sent to 2 addresses since I thought my work email firewall might have been the problem.) Yesterday I got the Christmas Minute to Win It games and tried to get the Halloween ones. I say tried because I put my name and email in twice but never got the download. Is there another way to get them? I am frustrated because my next step is to try to copy and paste them each from your page into a word doc, which I really don’t have time for, but I think my students would enjoy them. Help, please! A loyal follower, Acmmteach.
Thank you so much for your feedback – I really appreciate it – going to check out what’s happening and send you the correct download!
I fill my name out and never receive any of the items. Any idea on how to get them another way?
Thank you
