WOW! What a dynamic teacher. I wish he would have been around when I was learning the three “r” as I would have not solely concentrated on arithmetic, writing, and reading. I am SO glad he is in our school system as science is so important to us today and it really is all integrated. WOW is all I can say! This teacher rocks!
