Another hit from The Bureau of Lectures. My staff kept talking about how this was their favorite assembly in years and have never seen their students so eager for science class to start. John even made me feel like a kid again, in fact, my office manager caught me making one of his planes after the show.

We have never had an assembly with such a lasting impact at our school. Our students loved actually being able to create examples of the STEM based principals our staff is stressing all the way to testing season. John set his records with paper airplanes and then helped us to set a school record on our state assessments!

The students could barely contain their excitement as the presenter introduced each animal and couldn’t wait for the next one to come out! It is rare that the students are able to have this much fun while learning as much as they did. The teachers were tired of the animal questions by the end of the week!

As a teacher, one of the most fun aspects of the program was the many times my students turned to me with big eyes and mouths wide open – full of wonder. The presenter did an excellent job of handling the large age range and of keeping her poise managing a large audience with a large spider on her hand! She commanded respect and treated the animals respectfully. Thank you.
