What Teachers Say

"Diane has been part of our spelling lessons all week and today I started without her. "Isn't Diane coming today?' I heard three different students say. I couldn't believe what I was hearing from one of my "tough guys." I can't believe the attitude of my students. They are different. They are excited and I'm excited. I've share with my principal, staff, and friends about your class and what I'm experiencing now."

"Also have done plant puppets for the Seed to Plant Unit, and Sun and Planet puppets for the Object in the Sky Unit. The students never get tired of them, and can't wait for a new visit to talk with them."

"It is a joy to be in contact with kindred spirits on the path to a root based, natural way of learning! It becomes amazingly clear exactly what children need… to enhance their learning experience."

"From that point on the children performed not for me, but for Bodhi. My fear of creating who I was as Bodhi immediately slipped away---I had not thought that out; but something else magical completely outside of us took over... What an experience."
