Thanks for Your Thoughts

Thank you so much for the Kids Wings unit for The Sherlock Files! My third grade class loved reading this book. We used our iPads and loved looking up locations in England, English food, and definitions so easily. It really made the story come alive for them.

I love the unit for Maybelle in the Soup! Can't wait to see other units that you have. I have shared your site with my team!!! Thank you for your hard work! Susan, Bedford, TX

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love this unit for Elijah of Buxton! Even more so do my fifth grade students. Everyday we read and do the activities they are enthusiastic about reading. I will be purchasing more of your units based on this wonderful unit. Michael Sheffield, Muncie, IN

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm thrilled to have found your site, with the awesome activities for Doreen Cronin's three Diary books. My 1st and 2nd graders (and my partner's) are going to the theater production of the three books in February and we will be spending the next month immersed in the study of the books, the author, and the creatures ( fiction and non-fiction). I already had bookmarked your site. It looks like it has a wealth of fabulous ideas, using literature as the springboard! Thanks for being open to having teachers in one school share materials, especially in these hard economic times for schools! Happy New Year!

I have spent quite a bit of time this weekend bookmarking all the wonderful resources on your Kids Wings site! I finally realized that it was better to just bookmark your site, because there are simply too many links to book mark them all individually. Your site is an awesome resource! On behalf of all the educators from across the country who have discovered your site, I want to say "THANK YOU!" Wanda, Brunswick, GA

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suzy,

Thanks! We love the activities for the Mysterious Benedict Society, and I was glad to finally find educational materials that leverage our homeschooled daughter's avid interest. :)
Can't wait to play Jeopardy with her!

Hi Suzy,

Your materials have made me love to teach again!

Thanks,

Wendy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are a wonderful resource! I have told my fellow teachers that you have worlds of units already done! That is why I bought all your Bluebonnet unit books—I donated them to our school library. I hope that teachers will really become acquainted with your work and begin to really use you as a resource! Thank you so very much for all your hard work-you make a teacher’s life much easier! Thank you Suzy,

Dear Suzy,

I just finished looking over the unit for The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. It is wonderful!!! I can't wait to use the activities with my 4th graders in the upcoming school year! Thank you for providing some higher level discussion questions. My kiddos are usually avid readers and I love having the opportunity to explore novels more indepth with them. Your units will be a fantastic resource in helping me to inspire their curious minds.

I just discovered this wonderful resource for my classroom last night as I looked for something my students would enjoy and learn from. We are currently reading Gregor the Overlander in class and there are very few study guides or resources available for this novel. Thank you for the awesome activities you have put together. My students are going to enjoy working and learning with the material you have provided. I will certainly be telling others about your great Kids’ Wings units.

THANKS!!! Your Masterpiece unit is one of the best resources I have seen and well worth the money. I plan on spreading the word and returning soon.

Just wanted you to know how much I love your unit for One-Handed Catch. I am a retired teacher working with a soon-to-be seventh grader...reluctant reader. He is really enjoying this book and your unit has made the activities interesting, fun and different while really working on important skills...

Thank you...I will spread the word whenever I can and if I can use another unit I'll be back.

Thank you for this wonderful unit. I love the questions that the students will engage in before the reading. The multiple intelligences that are thoughtfully laid out will enable all students to have success. The students were engaged using the activities, and I was excited to have the PowerPoint option for the song. Our copies are limited and projecting this song was just what they needed.

Dear Suzy,

You're the best! Thanks for the ready to use units! Many of the differentiated hand's on activities, within the units, are just perfect! It's amazing that there are more than enough activities to choose from to enable one to hand-pick the perfect exercises!

It's also good to know I can come to you for recommendations. Sometimes finding the right books is the most difficult part :)

Talk to you again soon!
Mary, Homeschool parent from from Marvin, NC

Thank you for such a great time during the conference. You have done a fabulous job with these books. I appreciate you willingness to stand up and say that you do not recommend a book. We need more people to do the same! I plan on coming to your next conference next year.

Suzy,

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your workshops at Region 17 in Lubbock. I attended Thursday's workshop (Flying Higher) and was so impressed that I signed up for Friday's workshop (Gifts and Givers). I wish I had known about you and your materials when I was in the classroom.

I am now an elementary librarian and will be adding your website to our school homepage under "teacher resources". You do have the BEST website. I spent hours enjoying your website after Thursday's workshop. Every time my husband passed through I was looking at something new and telling him want wonderful thing I had just found. I was like a kid in a candy shop with unlimited funds to spend.

Thank you for your time, dedication, and hard work you put into creating the abundant materials and maintaining the most fantastic website I have ever seen. You are amazing!!!

Thank you again for coming to the Lubbock area, and I hope you will be back in the near future. May you and Charlie have a safe uneventful trip as you travel doing your workshops.

Sincerely,
Valerie Addington

Words can not express how much my students enjoy your lessons. They hit all learning styles. I would definitely do your lessons during my appraisal. I teach 3rd grade bilingual students and have used the Stepstone Stories picture books faithfully, but I have 5 students who work in Transformers. They love it. Let me explain why I use both Stepstone Stories and Transformers in my class. I have five students reading above picture book level, but they also have to do the Transformers. They just finished up doing the mock trial for Marvelous Mattie. It was great! Three fourths of my students did not have the slightest clue about a courtroom. I call the students who do Transformers the Furious Five. Well the Furious Five picked several students to help them in the mock trial and the students who did not have a part were the jury.

My students memorized the Bob and Otto Readers Theater. One more key fact is that I have 24 students this year. So to include them all I divide them up by parts. For example the left side was Bob and the right side was Otto. Then the next day they would switch. They didn't like to switch because they realized they were more fluent on the one they had already practiced the day before! What started with a simple book led to a series of engaging activities: a wormatorium and we raising butterfly in our class as well. It was great!!

The books about friendship have contributed to a great classroom environment. My students all get along and work hard together. They call themselves TEAM 308 (our room number). The loved the Duck and Goose, they favorite part was then they acted it out. They love soccer!

Since they are bilingual, Fiesta Fiasco was an instant winner. They did not know that TORTA was cake. Great social studies extension.

The possibilities are endless! I can not tell you how much they love reading because of your lessons. We do your lessons while others teachers do worksheets about testing. Due to their love of reading, we read chapter books together during DEAR time. It never fails when we read a chapter book they remember what they read in one of your lessons, and all I can do is smile inside knowing that learning is going on.

One last note: Chalkboards Songs are their favorite. Again they have memorized them, and during math when we read our math story problems, they tell me to read it chipmunk style, Texas style, opera style. They are so funny/cute.

I attended your workshop in Abilene and spoke about how my TAKS scores had improved since using the Bluebonnet books as my curriculum. I just received word from my superintendent about the Gold Performance Acknowledgements. Rotan Elementary School received three GPAs: 1) percentage of students receiving Commended on Reading, 2) percentage of students receiving Commended on Math, and 3) percentage of students receiving Commended on Writing. I teach 4th and 5th reading and 4th writing. One more proof that your curriculum pays off! Thanks!

I love using Suzy Red’s curriculum units in my classroom. I am a literacy teacher that remediates third, fourth, and fifth graders. Her units allow me to use current literature without having to create my own units while I wait on a publisher. My students really love reading on their grade level and having the units brings fun into the classroom!

I started The Invention of Hugo Cabret yesterday with my 6th graders. It went fantastic! They were truly engaged in the pre-reading activities provided in the unit. A lot of great discussion was held. The only problem I had was having to end the discussions to get to the next activity. As a teacher of the gifted, I really appreciate the open-ended and higher level questions, and so do the students! I usually have to modify the units I find or purchase, or just start from scratch. It is so nice to be able to use your units that are top quality and ready to go.
Thanks again,

Today I attended a workshop titled ELA Texas Adolescent Literacy Academy. It presented research-based ways to help all students read better. I am happy to say that the information that was taught was a lot of the stuff you've been doing for years. One of the lessons was to use an anticipation guide in which the students agreed or disagreed with opinions from the text. Does this sound familar? I couldn't stay quiet about this so I told others about you and all of your great ideas you do with the bluebonnet books. They even liked your guide better than the one offered. :) Hopefully you will get some more teachers as excited to teach your material as I am. I guess you could say that today, I was a walking commercial for you.
Have a great weeekend!!

Thank you so much Suzy! I love what you do...you are a blessing to many teachers and students. Through your lessons, my students have learned to LOVE to read and write.
