If you are visiting this site to consider a visit to your school, think about how kids respond in other schools I work with and have worked with during the past 20 years and more.........
Lately, I seem to use more of my art skill, helping kids create beautiful works they can use to express concern about the environment.
And yet, my friend Sharon Buda who is an art teacher, will tell you that she brings me to Wyandot mostly for my science skills.........Afterall, I am a biologist and love nothing more than to take kids out to a field, farm, wetland, river, pond, or ocean coast and see what we can find. Netting baby fish, frogs, and helping a child find a salamander............these can be life changing experiences for the growing number of kids who spend more time indoors than out in nature.
Writing......Hmmmm. Yes, I am a writer and use art and ecology to help kids WRITE FROM EXPERIENCES. This is what I am best at, I think..........helping teachers find ways to get the most reluctant writer to write. But we need to include art and ecology to make it work!
