Customer Reviews
Teacher Rescue
Monica is just the remedy I’ve been looking for. After 24 years of teaching, I thought I had all the tools I needed to be a good teacher. However, Monica’s innovative lessons and ideas have put a spark back into my teaching and given me much to consider. The idea that there can be “awesome” in every school day sometimes seems overwhelming, but her spirit and genuine enthusiasm give me courage.
Brings Excitement Back to the Classroom
Monica has easy, budget friendly student engagement ideas. I love how she brings excitement and positivity back to the classroom. When I’m feeling overwhelmed and drained, this is a great refresher to get me back on track.
Monica is a Game Changer
Monica inspires me to be a better teacher. She gets me excited about trying new and fun things to keep things fun and fresh in my classroom. I just ordered the Dance Party button and we’re going to start the new year with 30 second dance parties! I love that she consistently gives tips and ideas - not just only in her books (which are amazing, BTW). I’ve taken her classes as well and they are AWESOME!! Her school PD is fabulous. Everything she does is gold. She not only inspires me to be a better teacher, she makes me feel better on the (too often this year) days that I’m falling apart with the overwhelming EVERYTHING that’s going on. And I can’t NOT comment on her humor (Uncle Gary Spirit Week/The $1.25 Tree and I could go on forever with stuff that gets me in the laughing fits). She is whole awesome-ness package. Thank you, Monica!
