"They always tell us that the best way we can learn as professionals, is to "visit" other teachers' classrooms. But I can never do that during the year! THIS is how I am meeting that standard! I have just visited your classroom as well as the other teachers you provided. Been doing this for over 20 years K-3rd. I definitely feel refreshed and armed with new ideas for next year! Thank you Mary!

I ended up signed up for the bootcamp as I was going to teach kindergarten for the first time. I ended up switching into a pre-k but still learned and found many helpful ideas/tips. I highly recommend the bootcamp to any lower grade teachers!

All of the tips, ideas, and resources for centers was my biggest take away from this boot camp. My true Ah-Ha moment though was when it was mentioned how little actually get accomplished on the first few days of school in kinder because of all the step-by-step directions that are needed. I’ll definitely be modeling everything I expect the students to do and hope it all works out well this year. I’ve been an interventionist for K-2 at my school for 13 years and am excited to be moving into the classroom this year. I’ve worked with this grade for many, many years and feel confident I can do a good job after I get my routines set. Thanks again for all of the resources, tips, and hacks

This Bootcamp has been amazing! I am not a new teacher but I am new to Kindergarten. So many fantastic ideas! My favorite take away was all of the great information on reading groups with centers. There may or may not be a para in the room with me so it is important to think about activities that the children can complete on their own with a self check. Also, I liked the section on labeling the books with the colors for leveled reading. An area that I would love to learn more about is navigating the team/teacher relationships. Do you plan together or not? How to run your room and help others while keeping things upbeat and positive. Hope that makes sense! Thank you again for a wonderful learning experience. You both have made it very exciting and I am eager to meet my new class.

"Thankyou so much for this bootcamp. I am so excited for September to implement all the things I learned! I just finished my first year as a teacher and I wish I had this last summer, still happy I found it now though. Have a great summer!
