Dear Anna, I would like to say thank you for the educational video of your presentation. It was highly educative and impressive. I have learned much since the time I got your address. For your surprise my first degree background is natural science and Masters degree is curriculum and instruction. Attending Such online education is the first form. I got much more than expected and I still need your unstopped support until the time of God. Thank you so much.

Love your work! Would like to BUY it all in a very expensive book! All in one place- printables- checklists- all without me having to view all separately and print out and file! God bless – and everything you put your hand to will prosper.
Anna G says
That would be a quite a big book, lol! Probably not a realistic project, but I agree it would be great to have! Thank you for your kind words, Libba. š

THANK YOU!!!!!! for the wonderful insight. I too believe you have to meet the child where they are at and the more exposure they receive the better!!! As a retired teacher, I still volunteer at our local school and I am TRUELY grateful for your FABULOUS free products. Boredom is one of the culprits of repetition – not only for the student but for me as well. If I can’t be excited I can’t expect my students to..
Again …THANK YOU
Anna G says
I agree – teachers need to mix it up or it stops becoming fun. I think it’s fantastic that you’re still helping students in your retirement! š
