I used your project management plan to work out my summer enrichment class. It really helped me focus on what we wanted to accomplish. The principal approved a summer enrichment class using many of your suggestions. We had sixteen students attending. They have written poems about their dreams and created little movies. Learned about using mikes, digital cameras, writing and "filming" movies and today we are going to begin to edit their little movies. You inspired me to try to find the spark inside the kids, by focusing on their dreams. I found a lot of quotes about dreams and goals and we studied them. I will have to send you their cinquains. Most of them are pretty tangible dreams like becoming a basket ball player, etc. I just wanted to thank you so much for your generous gifts of time and talent again. I really appreciate the project management template. Thank you so much again for all you did for our kids!

Our class really enjoyed the presentation about the Dolphins. It was an amazing hands on lesson, which my bilingual students were totally amazed. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with my class. Your warmness and love for the dolphins was greatly appreciated.

Our students were at such an advantage to have you come by and share with us! Your energy, expertise, eloquence and enthusiasm were all on display in a wonderful way. You could never imagine how many dolphin questions I had to answer that after noon! (Thanks Smiley) Please keep doing what you do to open our children’s’ eyes and minds to your passion-dolphins. You are appreciated greatly.

Our class was fortunate to have you come and speak about something they don’t hear about often. The children came back to class and were anxious to write something “amazing” about themselves to put on the website. Your enthusiasm and knowledge instilled in the students an awareness and love for dolphins. We appreciate you sharing your experience with us!

Federico Gallera Modified Bi-Lingual 2nd grade teacher:
Anne Frank Elementary School

Thank you very much for talking to my children with such enthusiasm. We were talking about Dolphins before you came, but one thing is talking about them and another is to hear them communicating. Thank you for putting your knowledge at their service. My students were delighted with the sounds they heard. Thank you.

Shuna Laura Bennett ESL 2nd grade teacher:
Anne Frank Elementary School

Wow! What can I say? Your presentation was magnificent! My students were amazed by your knowledge of dolphins and learned about their anatomy. They were fascinated with the birth of a dolphin and it opened up a complex discussion about mammals and classifying animals. They enjoyed the small dolphin "Mazy" you brought with you along with your loving nature. The most import part of you being with us was the love you have for the children and your ability to make them feel special. Our school seemed different after you left. The normally sterile environment was filled with your love and excitement. Thank you so much. You have made a big impact on our school.
