“Thank you so much for making my day (actually making my year!) with your masterful organization , facilitation, motivation and teaching which led our children to perform so well at the Grade Two Literacy Plays yesterday. You are the best! You gave our children the opportunity, the stage, and the guidance to demonstrate their literacy skills (speaking, reading, listening, viewing, and writing) via this wonderful and memorable experience. You extended our Grade 2 Teachers’ superb day-to day literacy instruction to culminate in this performance. The Literacy plays not only enriched the literacy skills of our children, it served to build their confidence to take on future educational challenges. Parents were so pleased and proud of their children’s performances!! A Principal, I couldn’t be more thrilled about this experience. The memory of this experience (like Camp Rowland) will last a lifetime for our Grade 2 families. We are blessed to have you work with us!
Thank you over and over! ”
Dr. David Miko, Principal, Lillie B. Haynes Elementary School, East Lyme, CT

Referring to Project MIND, at Camp Rowland: “You have taken what could have been an awkward and somewhat sad experience for the children and turned it into an outstanding creative learning opportunity. By designing an integrated project based on art residencies, the children of Lillie B. Haynes School will not only have an opportunity for artistic expression, they will also learn the important life lesson of using their minds to make an unusual situation a positive experience. The [student] performances you have planned, will no doubt be the highlight of the school year. ”
Christopher J. Dodd, United States Senator

This workshop taught me how to do just that, provide structure while allowing kids to grow and enjoy learning, without losing control. This was by far the best workshop I have attended. The ideas given are incredible and, best of all, easy to incorporate into daily lessons. Thank you so much!”

“Thank you for a wonderful experience. Many of my students are cognitively low and require a great deal of repetition for learning. I will definitely use these ideas for my integrated- in-the- regular classroom speech and language lessons. The regular-ed students won’t even realize the benefits they give my student via fun repetition!”
