What have other teachers and curriculum directors said about the benefits of the Mississippi River Teacher Resource Kit ?
"I
thought you would like to know that we have adopted the Mississippi River
Teacher Resource Kit as
our model for River Studies. "
-- Dr. Dean Hartmann, Iowa Rivers Curriculum Project
This would be good for any district located on any river. Wetlands, migratory pathways, wildlife and shoreline observations are not unique to life along the Mississippi River.
--Mike Hartoonian, Social Studies Curriculum Advisor
Wisconsin Dept. Public Instruction
The Mississippi River Guide is impressive. The student workbook is chock full of facts, enrichment activities, and it's entertaining. I read it all in one sitting just for the information it contained!
--District Social Studies Curriculum Advisor, Sparta, Wisconsin
Our teachers love the Activity Guide because the concepts have all been digested for them. They can open the package and teach. It's easy for teachers in the lower grades to interpret to their students. The writing is perfect for my 10 year olds. I like it because it doesn't talk down to them. Older kids, through high school, can work directly from the resource books.
---Ann Webb, Jemicy School, Owings Mills, Md
We are a private school catering mainly to students who are dyslexic. We love the Mississippi River Resource Kit! We find the whole package is wonderfully interactive! So many opportunities for kids to "take on a role."
--Odyssey School, Baltimore, Md
