Testimonies

Some positive comments from teachers, parents, and students:

Educational CD's

Nancy in Texas said my Biology Cd is "hilarious" and recommends it to others

Jewel in Louisina expressed excitement at how easy to use the songs on my website are....

Jennifer from Midland, Michigan shares her experience with the Swing Into Spring CD:
"Evie my son and the children in my classroom (pre-school) love the CD. We listen to it continuously... I also wanted to tell you that I love that you include the whole booklet you made for each CD. It really does come in handy when learning the words to your great songs and makes it fun for sharing with my assistant teachers. It helps me to really involve them in what is going on. We are using the Springtime CD to tie into our lesson plans.
Thank you so much."

..."We have been singing your songs as well. The info you gave me was helpful. I specifically enjoyed the activity ideas and songs."
Kathy Swegels, kindergarten teacher in Northville

Carol; a parent educator at the 2006 MiAEYCE conference on buying 3 CDs:
"My sons (2 & 4) and I dance to the music quite often."

Karen in Illinois remarks about the "Down At the Farm" CD: her son Alexander (18 months) loves the songs especially "buzzing with the bees" and even her husband sings along while in the car.

Toni Hornyak: "This is my first year I have taught Biology and it really helps if we sing. My kids are doing better on tests when I use either a song on the internet or create one. Thanks for helping all the new teachers in the science fields."

PRESENTATIONS

"The remarks we received both from teachers and students were extremely positive. Not only did they delight in your program, but learned a great deal also. Yours is such a pleasant medium to transmit a knowledge and love of nature... and I especially appreciate your interest and enthusiasm in doing so." Sally Fraser, former president of North Hill PTA in Rochester

"It is important to teach our young students to preserve and protect our environment. A greater understanding of the ecological threats we now face will provide our children with a safe environment for the future. Your presentation enhanced our program in recognition of Earth Day's twentieth anniversary." David E. Bonior

"Just wanted to say thank you again for the super program you provided for my second graders... I am enclosing some letters they wrote you... they want to be sure you remember them after you become famous." Marilyn Kevern, Brewster Elementary, Rochester

April 12, 2006 from Laura Zaiglin
"The whole 1st grade team was very impressed with your presentation. The children were engaged and excited. I really appreciate you booking us. We will need to arrange another presentation for next year."

Beth Colton, Mother Hubbard Preschool on "Creatures of the Night Presentation"
"Thanks so much for visiting our preschool. The kids had a great time. We look forward to your visit every year."

As Keynote speaker at the 3rd annual Early Childhood Conference at Macomb Community College, Jan. 28, 2006:
"Gave me new enthusiasm for science; I'm like a kid again discovering the world for the first time." "Science is different and more interesting after listening to her."

"I attended the 2009 MiAEYC in Grand Rapids. I loved your presentation. It will really help me with my preschoolers! Thanks!"
Joey

"I have enjoyed a workshop of yours and loved your enthusiasm and approach to teaching."
Karen

"I attended your 'No Child Left Inside: Bugs' session at the 2009 MiAEYC conference this week. I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Our preschool has decided to offer three summer camp sessions this year (one each month) and I will be leading the first one on bugs! So, I was very excited when I saw your class on the schedule. You have given me some wonderful ideas on how to present the information to our 3-5 year old summer campers." Kelley

"Hi Evie,
I have just returned from the 2009 MiAEYC conference in Grand Rapids. I enjoyed hearing your 'bug' presentation No Child Left Inside. You are a talented and energetic speaker and it was the highlight of the day."
