"I really liked the Aves Compartidas experience for the kids. It gave them an experience they don't normally have as I'm not big on birds at all, so having other people come in and talk about that was very engaging for the students. They were all participating in all of it, and that field trip at the end, that culminating field trip, was just fantastic for them to get out into nature and see things that they'd learned about. I could see them using the knowledge they'd gained from our lessons and applying that to real life."
-Maestra Erin Skoubo, 3rd Grade teacher
"La excursión hoy estuvo excelente, muy bien planeada. Mientras que escuchaba a Matilda me di cuenta de la cantidad de sabiduría con lo cual ustedes se mueven en este mundo. Y digo sabiduría, porque lo que ustedes comparten no es solo información, por el contrario es conocimiento holístico que usan, y ponen en práctica en el hacer cotidiano de su mundo. Gracias por traer eso a nuestros niños."
"The field trip today was excellent, very well planned. As I listened to Matilda I realized the amount of wisdom with which you move with this world. And I say wisdom, because what you share is not only information, but on the contrary, it is holistic knowledge that you use, and put it into practice in the daily making of your world."
-Maestro Antonio Salgado, 4th Grade teacher
