Comments from Just For Kids Education Staff: Before and After School Program Located in Williamsville NY.
• I would really like to have this training again sometime in the future. I thought it was helpful because Mike came up with ideas that I would have never thought of!
• It was fun. I was laughing and smiling the whole time.
• I loved the fact that we got to work together with people we didn't know and became more familiar with them in a non-work setting
• We've tried some of the group activities with our kids and I don't think they were mature or interested enough to do some of them. However, it's given us some creative thoughts on activities that will interest them!
• Wonderful "experiential" examples of activities. Allowing pretty much constant participation makes for a significant increase in retention and creativity!
• you were able to rouse the troops - staff were looking to complacently sit back at first, but you got them active and by being very outgoing and energetic, created a "safe" place for us to be equally at ease and comfortable with expressing ourselves. This resulted in a ton of fun (and unknowingly, a lot of learning, too!)
CREATE-LEARNING-Team Building led a Staff Training for Physical Education Teachers. Showing Team Building Activities with a cross-curriculum goal for the students. (They also set a NEW RECORD for Hoop Towers: 6 levels!!)
Below are comments from Corning Painted-Post Area School District located in Western New York, Elementary Physical Education Teachers Team Building Activities Training.
• I thought that the games taught were very helpful and fun for the students to learn and take part in
• We are already trying to get it approved by the school board to meet next staff development day and make some of the props
• Very good!! Thank you and look forward to another session
• We only got to do so much. I would love to have you come back again next year to do part 2.
• Enjoyed the activities and creativity that came from each.
• there were some great new twists to activities that we already do.
• I liked the name games for the start of the year and will incorporate many of those in the fall
• I enjoyed the flow of the activities and the adaptability of the day. The pace of great as were the challenges. This proved to be very useful to our program
• I thought it was very well done. i loved how every activity could be related back to the academic areas in the classroom.
• Mike did a great job. He was enthusiastic and high energy. This was the best staff development day!!
• I learned new games and ideas I will implement immediatley into my Phys. Ed. classed. I would have enjoyed another day with Mike, one day just did not seem to be enough!
Michael Cardus is fabulous, full of energy and insight. His workshop made everything so much clearer to me, and empowered me to take full responsibility for my actions. He made me understand that I really have been on the right track all along, that what I think and what I feel and what I have to contribute is important. Thanks Michael for a great workshop!

Mike Cardus did a fantastic job working with the children at our elementary school! Amazingly he was able to customize specific programs that allowed all grade levels to participate and enjoy. Mike's energy and enthusiasm really made Create-Learning a huge asset to our field day event!
