Keep up the excellent work you are doing for our children

Marjorie Anne Wallace, a science teacher in Newport News, VA, is having great success using Gizmos with her 7th grade life science students. We are delighted that Marjorie contacted us to share her thoughts:

I'm using ExploreLearning Gizmos here in Newport News, VA, with my 7th grade life science students. They love almost every minute of it.....when we get to our unit on genetics (Mouse Genetics, Chicken Genetics, Human Karyotyping) you make my life and teaching soooo enjoyable. I teach the Punnett Square using the four square strategy. When they get to your lay out…guess what…they have to think a little and decide what 1/5 of 100% is? Now they see there is always more than one way of solving a problem in science.

Today's [ExploreLearning] newsletter displayed Human skull measurements [Human Evolution - Skull Analysis]….What an excellent shoe-in for my fossil unit.....Oh, by the way, two years ago I received National Board Certification and used the Mouse Genetics Gizmo as a small group lesson in my portfolio entry. With upper level inquiry questioning I guided them through the activity on a SMART Board, and my students picked up the concepts.... Keep up the excellent work you are doing for our children.

Sincerely,
Marjorie Anne Wallace, Huntington Middle School, Newport News Public Schools

Many thanks Marjorie for your kind words and we are thrilled that Gizmos are having such a great impact on your 7th grade life science students!
