  • “The curriculum is fabulous! It is everything I was hoping for and more!! You have done a great job using a storyline to answer the question of how to increase the biodiversity in our schoolyard...and you incorporated so many things my district is stressing, like turn and talks etc. Thank you for sharing your gift of organization so the rest of us can tap into the curriculum and feel confident we are meeting our ecosystem standards. I can't wait to work with my students to change a little corner of their world for the better. “
