All students were engaged and hang on every word Rob shared.
L. Bertog, 5th grade, Bostic Elementary, Wichita
Rob presented information on a topic where he modeled sequencing of his ideas logically, used appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details to support the theme of his presentation. Our goal in having Rob at Anderson was to motivate our students to do their best on the State Assessments. Rob exceeded our goals. The students are still discussing the message he shared.
L. Simnitt, Principal, Anderson Elementary, Wichita
Our students definitely enjoyed Rob’s lesson on drug awareness.
