“When one student did her bio box presentation it was obvious that she had rehearsed. She spoke in a loud clear voice and made eye contact with the class. She was able to speak about her topic without having to always look at her box. I was impressed.”

“My student who is new and an ELL level 1 spoke to the whole class after seeing Amy and the others model it!”
— KITTY G., 1ST GRADE TEACHER
