“I really enjoyed your visit and so did my classmates. I know I learned a lot and I think everyone else did too. One thing I really enjoyed was how you dressed up my other classmates. I also liked how you got everyone to participate in some way with the activities. When we get to see objects and act things out, rather than just reading about them, then we can understand it better.”
