What Teachers Are Saying

K.S., Grade 3 TeacherMuriel Martin School

I like the hands-on activity and the variety of materials that the students get to build with. (In-School program)

M.V., Grade 3 TeacherEdmonton Christian West

This was very hands-on and the instructions were always very clear and broken down well. The presenter had excellent classroom management skills! This also covered lots of outcomes for the science unit and was a perfect way to wrap up the unit and practice skills we had been working on. (In-School program)

D.C., Grade 3 TeacherGuardian Angel School

The Presenter was engaging, friendly, and organized. The take-home playground was a huge hit. My class was so engaged from start to finish. It really was an excellent presentation. Probably my favourite T-Pet so far! (In-School program)

K.K., Grade 3 TeacherRossdale School

The Presenter was amazing! She has excellent classroom management, she gets the kids excited and keeps them engaged, she ensures they are doing their best work! The Ultimate Playground is one of my favourite Teacher's Pets and it's a highlight of our year. (Video Conference program)
