What a GREAT combo!!!!!!! She was the best we've had this year, and we have had a couple really good ones. She is a great speaker AND teacher!!! I know she won the admiration of our teaching staff. SO MUCH information for the kids and ideas for the teachers. Like tracking the race next year and figuring miles per hour and all the math and creative writing opportunities for ALL grade levels in elementary school. WOW!
The kids were pretty much riveted on everything she talked about for over an hour, which says ALOT for a diverse age group from Kindergarten to Sixth Graders. Plus her web site with follow up activities, ideas for kids and teachers, putting on and talking about all the equipment and how cold it is and how the snow helps and how this year's race didn't have much, if any, snow, and on and on and on.
THANKS so much for hooking us up to her and talking to Connie about it way back! The only glitch in the works was that GOOGLE directions on MapQuest sent her WAY OUT OF THE WAY to Walesboro and she got lost. Had to call the school twice to redirect. BUT WAS IT EVER WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!
