What Teachers Say

Marylin wrote:
"I thoroughly enjoyed the puppet exchange and felt far less self-conscious when the focus wasn't exclusively on me. Another colleague came in to introduce her puppet to my class. Again, the children got their puppets out to introduce theirs in return. The kids are loving every minute of this. This has been the most enjoyable first few weeks of school I can remember!"

Steve wrote:
"It is a joy to be in contact with kindred spirits on the path to a root based, natural way of learning! It becomes amazingly clear exactly what children need… to enhance their learning experience."

Toni wrote:
"What a discovery! There is a strong argument for the use of puppets in education especially given that recent papers indicate that learning is enhanced by spontaneity, emotion and play."

Chonita wrote:
"I've used Diane every day since Tuesday. She's helped us in science and she passed out papers. Most kids said thank you and some patted her on the head. Some wrote about her in their journals. I don't think I could quit even if I wanted to. My kids won't allow me."
