Email:
from Beth: I wanted to send you a positive email about your reaing webpage, www.studyplans.com/reading.html. I volunteer with a children's group at my library and have been referencing your page when we need good reading resources. The kids are currently setting their reading goals for spring break, which was a good reminder for me to contact you. So I wanted to say thanks for all the help from all of us!
From Julietta: My daughter is a Brownie Girl Scout and I'm going to be volunteering with her Girl Scout Troop to teach the girls about different kinds of crafts they can do so they can earn one of their art badges! I'm a huge crafter, but I've never taught kids about crafting and honestly I'm worried I'll be a lousy teacher so I've been trying to do some research so I'm ready for anything! You're page (This one: http://www.studyplans.com/teachers-resource-page.html ) gave me some really great ideas for crafts and activities I can do with these girls. Thanks!
From Matt: I just wanted to let you know your science page has been a big help! My daughter Katie is earning her Robotics badge in Girl Scouts right now (there's 3 different badge levels) ...her troop leader asked the girls to do some research at home, so like a good Dad, I've been helping her look online. Your page was a big help in leading us to other science and engineering resources! Thanks again!
From School Library Connection: I just wanted to let you know that Paul Eckersley of Button Books publishers wanted me to pass along his thanks for your review of My First Book of Quantum Physics. Well done!
From Jackie and Ava: My daughter Ava and I just wanted to reach out and thank you. Ava is in girl scouts, and is currently working to earn her "Eating for Beauty" badge - part of their fitness & nutrition program. ...Anyway, the girls were told to do some research at home on fitness & nutrition to share with the troop and she came across your page http://www.studyplans.com/sports.html. It was so helpful to her I wanted to reach out and thank you - I'm happy she's so invested in such an important topic.
From Sonia: Just wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you for putting the "Writing- https://www.studyplans.com/ writing.html" together.
I've been writing a persuasive speech (for the first time!) and was happy to find such great help. Many resources listed have been extremely valuable, and I am no longer terrified of public speaking :)
From Tess: My name is Tess and I am a mother of two young boys. I've always loved reading and I'm trying to pass that on to my sons. I like them to have a break from screens every now and then. I decided to look into some reading activities and fun stories to read together which is where I found your page: http://www.studyplans.com/reading.html . I have used a ton of the sites already and I really wanted to thank you!
