| Here's what others are saying about our programs |
"Students were excited by the challenging format of the Math Mania presentation. As an instructor, I felt that Whirlidurb did a good job of covering some of the more difficult objectives involved in our state assessments. Students were engaged and enjoyed the presentation tremendously." - Math Mania 3rd Grade "My students said this was one of the best art lessons they had ever had taught to them! They liked that they could apply the artistic ideas they learned with butterflies to drawing other animals." - ArtSmart: Butterflies "ArtSmart lessons are VERY beneficial to provide the "non-artistic" teachers an avenue to challenge their highly talented students! Whirlidurb- keep developing these incredible lessons!" - ArtSmart: Butterflies "This was a great experience for students to apply their knowledge of appropriate math vocabulary as well use logical reasoning to manipulate popsicle sticks into different shapes to match the clues.They were excited and able to maintain focus due to the presenters highly engaging and "timed" activities. The presenter did a FABULOUS job of supporting AND challenging students." - Math Mysteries: Stick Figures "My students had more fun learning about their heart and healthy habits before the video conference. Then having this Jumping Jack Challenge just reinforced everything I had taught them. We talked about exercising each day, even between commercials as the students watch a show at home. As we were doing this video conference, I sent a note and had our gym teacher come in and watch this one. I told her every class should do this video conference..... not only to learn about exercise for the body but learn about Math skills." - Jumping Jack Challenge |
