  1. Chasity – WALLER ISD (verified owner) –

    I love the mini activities!

  2. Mark – SPRING BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –

    I thought there were some good ideas, but there was a great deal of padding, as well. This could have easily been a 3-hour course, rather than a 6-hour course.

  3. Jessica – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –

    Very informative.

  4. Sharon – Private Pay (verified owner) –

    This course gave several activities that I will be able to implement in my classroom.

  5. Susan – WALLER ISD (verified owner) –

    I absolutely loved this course. Even though I teach K it brings many useful ideas to mind that we could easily implement in the classroom. This is out of the box thinking and the students need these kinds of activities.

  6. Beverly – BURLESON ISD (verified owner) –

    I am definitely going to incorporate these activities into my classroom.

  7. Juan – PHARR-SAN JUAN-ALAMO ISD (verified owner) –
