“We love Dragonfly Nature Programs!! Two of my four children have had the priveledge of experiencing Rachel’s lessons as an elective or class field trip at their elementary school. Rachel is a an experienced science educator who has a passion for all things living and green. She passes on her knowledge and passion to her students by implementing creative, hands-on lessons that resonate with children, while also meeting state standards for that grade. It is a rare gift to find an educator that stimulates and excites learning in others! This is Rachel’s gift! She impassions others. It is a priveledge to have her as part of my children’s educational experience.”
“I can’t say enough about Rachel and the science lessons she brings to my two-year-olds. She does an amazing job tailoring the lesson to a toddler level. She keeps them active and engaged. Her calm, even personality is just what the children need to stay focused and and excited to see what’s next. You can tell that Rachel loves what she does and her passion is contagious. My children love ’Science Day’ and I must say that I do as well!”
“Dragonfly Nature Programs came to my daughter’s kindergarten class and she loved it. She told me how “the animal lady” came and that she got to touch different things. She talked about earthworms and how she touched one. Later that night, we were reading a bedtime story about kids exploring on a nature hike. It mentioned different types of insects and animals. My daughter started talking about vertebrates and invertebrates and explaining the difference. She continued on talking about mammals and their characteristics. All things she learned from Dragonfly. She was so excited and retained so much. I was amazed! Thanks for the wonderful, learning experience.”
““We love having Rachel visit our classroom. We love that she understands the children so well, “gets” who they are and where they are coming from, and is so, so patient with them. Thank you! Oh, and her lessons are amazing and wonderful!” ”
“My students loved having Mrs. Woods visit our 2nd grade classroom. The students were engaged in hands on activities and discussions. We all learned a lot of new information on sound and how animals communicate. The materials provided were interesting and kept my students anxious to see what was coming out next. The pace of the lesson was perfect as well. Thank you for being so wonderful to work with!”
“We loved having Mrs. Rachel in our first grade classes. I loved the local connection she made about the habitats around us and the kids really loved being able to see some of the animals from those habitats. The real life connections were amazing. She encouraged the kids to explore and think outside the box. They were really engaged and she was so wonderful to work with. :)”
“The Kindergarten students in my class were so interested in everything (!) Rachel presented - whether it was an animal, a temperature gauge or a story. She was able to find out their general area of knowledge and engage them further. Students were exploring, experimenting and discovering in both large and small groups, it was very well planned and a whole lot of fun.”
“We loved having Ms. Rachel visit our 3 year old classroom! The topics she covered were perfect for teaching our little minds about the nature around us that a lot of our kids today don’t get to experience. Ms. Rachel’s calm spirit really helps to keep kids be both focused and excited! Our class especially loved when live animals and bugs came in! Getting to see and touch these animals gave our kids a better appreciation for keeping animals safe and to be gentle around them. We can’t wait to see her after summer!”
