teacher and student testimonials

Janessa Ramos, Fairview high, grade 4

"I think that your poetry is creative and extremely beneficial as a learning tool to supplement visual aids and technical texts on civics which tend to be challenging to 4th graders."

Ann Radefeld, Valley Vista elementary

"You have one of the best programs that I have ever seen!"

Tiffany Timar :)

"The class and I had a GREAT time and learned a ton!!! It was SO FUN!!! Hope you have a nice week and thanks again for teaching us SO much!"

Pam Alexander, grade 4 Ellicott School

"The kids did have fun, and they certainly did learn about our government. I know that my class kept their poems to continue to partner read because poetry reading improves reading fluency."

Randi Harris, Stoy elementary grade 4

"We had a great time as well! A very cool virtual field trip for all of us."
