Testimonials Room #2
As another school year begins, we reflect about the opportunities
which were offered for professional growth in our area. It is
with pride that we evaluate the recent week-long g/t conference,
which we hosted. The Brazoria County G/T Conference which
took place from August 2 - 6, was very successful due to the
quality of presentations. The one-half day presentation on
poetry writing was very well received. The participants were
impressed with your energy and enthusiasm. They rated you as
being a highly motivating and stimulating as well as a very
interesting presenter. Your audience was delighted with the
"hands-on" approach to poetry writing. One teacher
commented that she would be able to apply your concepts with her first
grade class because you had explained it so simply. The
participants left the session anxious to use your poetry writing ideas
in the classroom this year.
We
appreciate your efforts to combine poetry writing with music in an
entertaining manner. It was a pleasure to work with you this
past August.
We
wish you continued success in the future.

Your presentation on March 28, 2000 to the students at our school was
excellent. You made learning fun. Your positive attitude
was contagious! We appreciate your patience and enthusiasm.
Your poetry dealt with things that the students could relate to in
their personal experiences. Sandyman, your dog, was a wonderful
asset to your program. The students enjoyed watching him as you
performed your poetry. You made every student feel important and
encouraged them to write, write, write... "WE had
fun!" was an echo we heard in our halls throughout the day.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of poetry writing. It was
an eye-opening experience for our students and teachers. Keep up
the good work of making learning FUN!!

I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your visit recently.
What a great opportunity for our whole school to be able to view your
presentation. Very seldom do we have a visitor that actually
keeps the attention of the whole student body. The students
loved listening to you and watching Sandyman and even more being able
to participate. It was so much fun to see the little ones
listening so intently and I left the upper class assembly feeling warm
hearted at the way they enjoyed and participated in your session.
I hope you enjoyed your visit to Oklahoma City and please know that
you are welcome anytime. As soon as you get Dopie Dope produced,
I want to have him as a permanent member in our library. Do come
back and see us.

I can't tell you how fortunate I feel to have you come to our first
Author's Day. It has been several weeks now since you were at
our school; and students, teachers, and parents are still commenting
about your visit! They all appreciated your good nature and
quick humor, and many teachers and parents have told me how much they
appreciated your comments about your own difficulties during your
school years.
Your fifty minute sessions with the children were so well organized,
informative, and entertaining that the time seemed to pass too
quickly. It was particularly gratifying to see how you so easily
motivated and captivated each individual grade level from
Kindergarten through Fifth Grade.
We look forward to having you again soon!
Very
truly yours,
