What Teachers Are Saying

R.R., Grade 3 TeacherRichard Secord School

I enjoyed how at every station, the students were engaged in learning about India without having to write anything down. It was easy to get them to participate as they enjoyed the variation in each station. (In-School program)

V.L., Grade 3 TeacherGuthrie School

My students were completely engaged in the four centres. They enjoyed all the games and I enjoyed that they were reviewing/learning concepts that were absolutely tailored to the Alberta curriculum outcomes. (In-School program)

Grade 3 TeacherHawkwood School

The artifacts were great, the activities and games were engaging. The presenter was very good. It was a nice change to have someone else do the preparation. (I am sure you've heard THAT before, but it's true.) The activities were at an appropriate level for my students. (In-School program)
