| I am a veteran teacher of 24 years who teaches in a dual language program. This is my 2nd year teaching Science and I'm not satisfied with the way it has been going. Thank goodness I found your site! I have always been a hands-on interactive teacher, but because of my added responsibilities at school, I absolutely have no time to hunt anything down! Again, thank goodness I found your site. Just having a compilation of the different topics will make everything so much easier. | |||||

| I love your units and the students really enjoy the active learning style...They are really enjoying science and learning at the same time...Numerous students have told me how easy it is to recall the info because of the activities we have done throughout the unit, and even my special ed. students are excelling...You're awesome, when I think of the creativity involved and the time you save your customers in having to come up with these great units...All I can say is thank you so much... | |||||

| I just received your CD (Teaching the Metric System) and it is amazing. I'm excited to get to work early to print out some materials to use next week. Thank you very much! | |||||
 |
|
||||
| Just wanted to send a quick note to let you know that I received the kit. I have it all assembled in my 3" binder and am very excited to start implementing these ideas into my curriculum next week when we begin Minerals. You have some very clever and creative ideas. Thanks so much and you will probably be hearing from me again as I plan to order some of your other kits. | |||||

| I have my third student teacher and I make sure they see and use the materials I purchased from you a few years ago - they in turn go back to their professors and show the product.... In the summers, I teach a 6 week Earth Science course for the students who failed the year, or failed the state exam, and I use your work exclusively prior to the intensive review. It is just the right level for them, and I have kept the 80% passing rate on the state exam over and over! | |||||
 | |||||
| I just wanted to let you know I love your website it has many great ideas and labs for my students. Thank you so much for sharing. | |||||
 |
|
||||
| First of all let me just say how much I love your lessons. I just finished Rocks and your rock cycle simulation with crayons was the best way I have ever found to teach the Rock Cycle. My kids actually get it, even my special ed students. --From an Indiana Teacher | |||||

|
||||
| I just discovered and love your website. I’ve been doing something like the “Weathering Walk” for years but it just hasn’t been as productive as I would like and this sounds like a much better way. I’m looking forward to trying it out this week. | |||||

"Just wanted to drop another THANK YOU, Aunt Marcia. I have most enjoyed the Power Points. I made minor adjustments to the PPT so that students get a chance to guess what's coming next. [Great Idea!] They are such a big help! I'm not sure how else to get the kids into some of these ideas without these wonderful visual examples. The cutting and pasting is going well also. At first a couple kids would mumble, "Not cutting again!" But now I limit the time they have to use their scissors (5 min) and then I take the scissors back and launch into the lesson. [Another great idea!] Your observation about the cut and paste worksheets being so much better than their own notes is 150% correct! Now when I get to review and additional sheets I just tell them to find the worksheet and away they go (at least, the ones who haven't lost it). Anyway, we're hopefully going on the weathering walk tomorrow (weather permitting)." | ||||
Update from Christian: September, 2012: |
Hi,
Aunt Marcia, Just wanted you to know that I used the cut and paste
today with 2 classes of seniors in high school (!) and not only did I
NOT get any grumbling, they were completely dialed in! So, excited to
use more active learning now that I'm back in the classroom! Thanks
again for sharing! --Christian My Response: LOVE this! Smart to put definitions down and PASTE the words! Also like the idea of circling one and adding a one sentence response! I never thought of that! Could bedone with any set of words! With any type of question! Way to go! NOTE: Christian teaches at the HOPE Christian Schools Senior High School in Milwaukee, WI. He is a remarkable teacher! I'm very impressed with this organization! They send almost all their inner-city seniors to college every year! Click here to find out more about HOPE Christian Schools!

| Thank you for sharing your lessons. You have some phenomenal ideas! I am a big fan of all your active learning ideas, and I have all of your packets organized in folders. I have been using them in my Earth Science classes the last five years, and have seen an improvement in state testing scores. Thank you for your great ideas! --Email from a Teacher | |||||

| I love your site and your great information. I am teaching special ed Science (8th grade) for the first time this year and am thrilled I found your site! Thanks for all you do for other teachers. | |||||

| Marcia, [the Plate Tectonics Packet] is wonderful...perfect...great! Everything I expected it to be, thank you for your hard work. Just in time too, we did the layers foldable today!! --from a South Dakota teacher | |||||
 |
|
||||
| I
have just started my unit on Plate Tectonics, and I tried out your
Earth's layers foldable with my students this week. I have to
tell you how wonderful an idea these foldables are! Every single
one of my 100 students was engaged in this activity - and that has
NEVER happened in my 8 years of teaching. It was
incredible!...So, thank you for that awesome resource...that one
activity has convinced me that a completely active classroom is the way
to go. |
|||||
| THANK YOU for your website. Although I have been teaching for years, this is my first year teaching Earth Science. I have found your resources to be invaluable. | |||||

| Marcia - I'm on day 6 of teaching Weather. It's been such a fun ride. I'm a 22-year teaching veteran… Using your unit has added new dimension to my lessons and I'm packing in tons of activity and content into each 45-minute lesson. I'm so excited to teach these lessons each day as they bring fun and freshness to my day... Thanks...for helping this "old dog" learn a few new tricks! --Email from a GA teacher | |||||

| Thank you so much for
your invaluable teaching packets, for they are priceless. Sharing your
astonishing experience has helped others in the field. We are blessed
to implement your lessons that are jam-packed with inquiry-based and
critical thinking activities that make learning FUN!! Keeping our students engaged in active learning is what it's all about! Thank you for all you do! :) |
