I
cannot thank you enough. This year you have been my best friend,
mentor, and only teacher that I am collaborating with--and you probably
did not have a clue... Without you I would never have made it this
far! Thank you for being my shining star this year!
I cannot thank you enough... From a Michigan teacher, May 2011
All
Packets are
available for delivery either by Email
Delivery (usually the same day) or by Priority
Mail Delivery (2-3 day delivery from time of order on CD). Email and
CD
versions are EXACTLY the same!
NOTE:
All my Packets are geared for the middle school student. However, they
have
been successfully adapted from the 4th through 10th grades by teachers
all across
the country!
Schools:
I
accept School Purchase Orders and bill the school upon delivery of
your order. Download my purchase order to
contact me for a W-9 and/or to start the Vendor Registration Process. I
am registered with the Office of the Secretary
of State of Missouri.
I love your
units and the students really enjoy the
active learning style...They are really enjoying science and learning
at the same time...Numerous students have told me how easy it is to
recall the info because of the activities we have done throughout the
unit, and even my special ed. students are excelling...You're
awesome, when I think of the creativity involved and the time you save
your customers in having to come up with these great units...All I
can say is thank you so much...
PLEASE
NOTE:
IF
YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE RECEIVING AN EMAIL DELIVERY FROM ME, IT MAY BE
CAUSED BY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING. PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVEN'T
RECEIVED A SHIPMENT AS I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF YOU'VE RECEIVED YOUR
ORDER!Or try one of the fixes
listed below.
I ALWAYS
email download links and passwords within 24 hours so if you haven't
received delivery after that, please email me
immediately!
(1) The new Explorer Internet
Browser has VERY
STRONG filters now which makes it impossible to download
my Packets. The
Best Solution:Download the Safari Browser and use that to
open your email and
download the product. This has worked successfully lately on several
occasions.
(2) School District Email Systems have
unusually aggressive spam filters and usually won't allow either the
delivery of an email from me or using your school computer to download
my Packets. The
Best Solution:Use
a home email addy such as
yahoo or hotmail or gmailand download from home! Then save to a flash
drive and take to school.
(3) If
you don't get a response of any kind from me, I will, in fact, have
emailed you several times! You
just are not receiving them! This has happened several times lately
because of aggressive email filters of grade school, high school and
college emails.
TheBestSolution:Please
call
me on the phone if this happens! Open the Pdf of my
Purchase Order above to find my phone number.
My
mother ordered me a complete kit for Christmas.Thank you so much!!! I’m
working on what we have to teach our 6th graders in Texas for
Earth and Space Science and your knowledge and tips about getting the
kids up and moving and doing are fantastic! My goal for
tomorrow
is to get printing done and notebooks made! --From a Teacher in January 2012

I
just received your CD (Teaching the Metric System) and it is
amazing. I'm excited to get to work early to print out

Just
wanted to send a quick note
to let you know that I
received the kit. I have it all assembled in my 3" binder and am very
excited to start implementing these ideas into my curriculum next week
when we begin Minerals. You have some very clever and creative ideas.
Thanks so much and you will probably be hearing from me again as I plan
to order some of your other kits.
From
a Teacher who'd just purchased the Minerals Packet: WOW! I have printed
out everything. This is unbelievable! I can't wait
to dig
into it all. I am really hoping that I am teaching science next year
just so I can have fun with this stuff. Thanks again!

Teaching
Mineral Identification by Marcia J.
Krech
Over
160 pages of ready-to-run materials covering: The
Chemistry of
Minerals, Mineral Identification, & Mining in
Missouri.
(Can
be adapted to your state!)
NOTE:
If I have already made a Minerals PowerPoint for your state, it will be
included in the purchase of this Packet. If not, you may order one for
your state separately below.
I
have
my third student teacher and I make sure they see and use the materials
I purchased from you a few years ago - they in turn go back to their
professors and show the product.... In the summers, I teach a 6 week
Earth Science course for the students who failed the year, or failed
the state exam, and I use your work exclusively prior to the intensive
review. It is just the right level for them, and I have kept the 80%
passing rate on the state exam over and over!

of all let me just say how much I love your lessons. I just finished
Rocks and your rock cycle simulation with crayons was the best way I
have ever found to teach the Rock Cycle. My kids actually get it, even
my special ed students. --From an Indiana Teacher

Teaching
Weathering, Erosion, Deposition
and Soil Formation
I
just discovered and love your website. I’ve been doing something like
the “Weathering Walk” for years but it just hasn’t been as productive
as I would like and this sounds like a much better way. I’m looking
forward to trying it out this week.
A
Thank
You Note
from my nephew, Christian, who
used my
Weathering
Unit in the fall of 2007.
"Just
wanted to drop another THANK YOU, Aunt Marcia. I have most enjoyed the
Power
Points. I made minor adjustments to the PPT so that students get a
chance to
guess what's coming next. [Great Idea!] They are
such a big help! I'm not sure how else to get the kids into some of
these ideas without these wonderful visual examples. The cutting and
pasting is going well also. At first a couple kids would mumble, "Not
cutting again!" But now I limit the time they have to use their
scissors (5 min) and then I take the scissors back and launch into the
lesson. [Another great idea!] Your observation about the cut and paste
worksheets being so
much better than their own notes is 150% correct! Now when I get to
review and additional sheets I just tell them to find the worksheet and
away they go (at least, the ones who haven't lost it). Anyway, we're
hopefully going on the weathering walk tomorrow (weather permitting)."

state testing scores. Thank you for your great ideas! --Email from a

ride. I'm a 22-year teaching veteran… Using your unit has
added
new dimension to my lessons and I'm packing in tons of activity and

these
lessons each day as they bring fun and freshness to my day...
