Back at Tanque Verde Elementary School but this time we did our presentation in the science lab! Loved seeing all of the great effort being put into teaching science to elementary age students! They were celebrating Endangered Species Day and had all sorts of posters and projects up in the room! It was amazing! The kids were really excited also about the presentation and had some really good insight and questions at the end! I am looking for to TVES being a regular stop for us!

Lots of learning going on at Alma Elementary School!

The little ones joining in on learning!

What a great experience for me! Going back to Mesa for a presentation was wonderful! The presentations were fun and the kids were really attentive and tuned in to what we were talking about! Love the questions that all the different age levels came up with! they are able to take in and understand information so much younger

than most people give them credit for! Too bad this school is changing next year but hopefully some of the teachers will get in touch and have us join them in their new schools!

Ready for some ocean education?

Thanks to Shannon Ward for setting us up even though she ended up missing the presentation due to illness! Hope you feel better!

Went to Maricopa today for a few presentations! There are so many schools across the desert! Loved being able to bring a little bit of the ocean to them! We had 5th grades and they were really sharp! Lots of great comments and questions from the kids and teachers! Makes me smile knowing that we have so many intelligent kids spread out across Arizona! Love that the teachers are willing to incorporate the oceans into their teaching schedule!

Loved this school and these great kids!

We had a great time at St. Michael’s with their 1st grade classes! The students were so well mannered yet still had  loads of fun! Loved seeing that! The kids all had fun (the teachers too I think!) and i could see the information sinking in and their eyes light up when we talked about everything from sponges to polar bears! Looking forward to returning next year!
