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)”
