Email from a teacher: 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!

A Thank You Note
from my nephew, Christian, who used my Weathering Unit in the fall of 2007.


--Dated: Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2007.
"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. You're 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)."
