Testimonial

"... I truly appreciate your work and admire the way you interact with the kids. The amount of effort you put into learning the topic and making it relevant to what we were doing in class was clearly evident and impressive ... my students were truly engaged and learning. I can't wait to work with you again and I will be recommending you to everyone I can."
-Stephen Gould, 5th Grade Teacher, Environmental Sciences Magnet School at Mary Hooker

Description

Why Ecosystems Rock! is an exciting program about biodiversity, biomes and the food chain/food web. The show engages kids with songs, comedy and music technology. The show is a great time for parents, teachers and caregivers. Each song in the 40-minute show is accompanied by hands-on, visual, and sensory experiences designed to help kids learn and have fun at the same time. Kids will dance, sing, and understand why taking care of our ecosystems is so important for the future of our planet.
