"I had three video calls with three separate 6th grade classes with Sarah. She spoke to us about animal adaptations and was AWESOME! The students participated in answering questions and also asking questions. They also asked if Sarah could speak with them again by the end of the year, which is in a week! They loved seeing her animals and learning more about how those animals adapt to their environments. I will most definitely schedule another call with EdZOOcating next year and for many years to come. Thank you for all you do in changing the lives of our future!"
GG | 6th Grade | North Royalton, OH
"Such a great experience for my kindergarteners! Sarah was so patient with technical problems on my end and with my kindergarteners long questions. My students loved seeing the live animals and really enjoyed the presentation Sarah made specifically tailored to the animal we had been learning about the past 2 weeks in class. 10/10 recommend edZOOcating!! Perfect for virtual field trips!"
Julia| Kindergarten | Sarasota, FL
"We had a "meet" and I was happy to see every student who was invited attend. This is not normally the case. We had great student interest. Our children were very intrigued and none left early. Sarah is a very good speaker. She is easily heard, she is engaging, and very polite and positive. The children loved the presentation and were eager to share. I was so glad we were able to book this for our children."
Maria | 3rd Grade | Glendale, AZ
"Our live video lesson today with Sarah was INCREDIBLE! She radiated passion & enthusiasm & her love for animals was so inspiring. My little ones were raving all day about how wonderful her lesson was. Sarah did an incredible job connecting their prior learning to the lesson, keeping the kiddos engaged, and presenting them with lots of new & fun facts! Without a doubt the best part of our day!"
Brianna | 1st Grade | Independence, MO

Alex | Kindergarten | Brecksville, OH
"Ms. Sarah was engaging right from the start! Her emails back and forth to me were efficient and helpful. Our live call could not have been better! She started our morning with some live animals and gave my students multiple chances to ask question. Then she went into a curriculum rich lesson which perfectly covered our science standards and more! I can't recommend Ms. Sarah and edZOOcating enough. I will definitely be calling on their expertise again!"
Rachel| 1st Grade | Pacific Grove, CA

I can't wait to do another session soon!!!"

Karli | Kindergarten | Scottsdale, AZ
"The best way to describe edZOOcating is “all encompassing”! This website and Sarah’s knowledge was unmatched to anything I’ve ever used in the classroom. The website is incredibly easy to navigate for both teachers and students, and the language and information is developmentally appropriate. My 2nd graders found a new surge of joy and passion in the studies we did using edZOOcating. The added option of a live video call elevated the lesson beyond what I could ever accomplish on my own. I have been thoroughly impressed with the resources as well as Sarah’s investment in making this website work for me and my students on an individualized and personal level I have never found anywhere else. I would recommend these lessons and live video calls to just about any student and teacher looking for AUTHENTIC and RELIABLE information and learning experiences."
Andrew | 2nd Grade | Hilliard, OH
"My online class of third graders had the pleasure of Sarah doing an endangered species lesson! My class was so engaged and interested in everything Sarah had to say. Her slide show was full of amazing facts and pictures. She got all of my students involved right away. Her snake and lizard were an added bonus. I'm pretty sure this was the highlight of the year for them. I couldn't recommend edZOOcating enough!"
Lindsay | 3rd Grade | Scottsdale, AZ
"My 33 students were amazed by the live animals and our review on endangered animals. Sarah kept the class interested and it was hard for them to refrain from shouting out but I was really impressed by the students and Sarah's ability to keep them interested for a solid hour."

Julie | Special Education K-5 | Buffalo, NY
"Today we had Sarah Skebba presenting to our online students in 5th grade about animal instincts. I had emailed her a couple of weeks ago inquiring if she had any resources about animal instincts and she got right on it. Her presentation was geared exactly to what we are learning. We could tell she is an experienced presenter, her slide show was excellent and engaging, she used the right amount of presentation time and interactive time, and she handled answer questions from students very well. It was a really nice learning experience for our students and I highly recommend Sarah and edZOOcating! Thank you so much!"
Cheryl | 5th Grade | Scottsdale, AZ
"Ms. Sarah did an amazing job on her live video call! We had over 65 5th graders on the call and she was engaging and fun!

I would recommend doing a live video call with edZOOcating!"
