Literacy is a special part of not only my life long learning but in my classroom to promote healthy learners. Hearing the poems and reading ideas to incorporate within the classroom made this class exciting. - Quality training Posted by Heather on 3rd Feb 2016
I was thankful to be able to do this online, and felt the quality of the training was only enhanced by this format. - ON LINE ROCKS!!! Posted by Jan on 3rd Feb 2016
I certainly like the lesson plans. The Silverstein books and poems are a wealth of information already but these ideas for implementing better learning opportunities for the children are valued by me and our center. - I learned a lot! Posted by Yvette on 29th Nov 2015
It really opened my mind up to using poetry in my daycare. - Loved Shel anyway... Posted by Ryan on 6th Sep 2015
I really enjoyed this course. I remember my second grade teacher read from Shel Silverstein books...I can still remember most of the poems she read...some were silly and some were relatable. This course was great to learn how to bring poetry back into the class room(from toddler to school age) and provide learning tools to go along with the poems. Great Course and Great reminder how important poetry is.
