What Teachers Are Saying

“
J.D.Holy Spirt Catholic School

“The content was great. Seeing all the different houses and how we use ideas from nature. The presenter did a great job and the kids were engaged. They enjoyed building the house. (Video Conference program)”

“
J.SGlendale School

“The activity was hands on and engaging. Great colour visuals. There were lots of supplies for students to choose from which allowed them to be creative and make the project their own. (In-School program)”

S.LSir Alexander Mackenzie School

“I really enjoyed the presentation 'Building Things' yesterday. The Presenter engaged the Grade One students in a variety of interesting and creative ways. Movement breaks were also embedded in the video conference and were well timed. Directions were encouraging, clear and detailed. The Presenter was very flexible and worked collaboratively with myself, cognitive of the higher needs of some of the students that I have this year. The students were thrilled and very proud of their homes they built and learned about the importance of planning and following directions when building. The quality of the structures that were built was high. Thank you for providing this great opportunity for fun and learning in the classroom. (Video Conference program)”

“The students were completely engaged and enjoyed everything from the story right at the beginning to "buying" and building their enclosure. It was a well done field trip! (In-School program)”
