This training made me look at the physical activity we offer our children, and what I do! I have brought back what we learned, and the kids love it. It is so great to see them so happy to move......ALL OUR HEARTS SAY "THANK YOU!"

Our agency recently had Choosy visit 4 sites. My class personally had been gearing up for it for weeks--practicing songs, improving behavior, and just really building on excitement. The parents weren't exactly sure what was happening, but they knew it was BIG!
I want to be the first to inform anyone looking at this program, that children with disabilities can thrive from it. I watched one student's behavior decrease to no episodes of defiance, staying on task, and really trying new things after this visit. The mother has also witnessed a change in attitude at home stating her child refers to decisions that Choosy would or would not like the behavior at hand. This child's self esteem has risen to cloud nine and the smile grows bigger every day. Thanks Choosy! Our class loves you!!!
On another note, I previously worked one on one with a child having Down's Syndrome. Choosy helped her learn her colors, body parts, and gain increased control in gross motor movements. Every day we had a ritual of the Soup songs and movement. She loved it, and I ended up with a work out myself. The clarity of her language usage also improved.
Thanks again for a wonderful program!!!!!!!!

To the presenters at the Region 8 IMIL training in Salt Lake City, thank you so much for providing exciting information and ideas. You are all AWESOME! Upon returning from the training, we have had two opportunities to present what we have learned.
The first training we presented was to our staff (65 individuals). They have shown great excitement and many are already using some of the ideas in their classrooms. They have also experienced OOH-AAH momemts. The second training was for the Early Childhood Coordinators at their state wide meeting in Montana.
We had a blast sharing information with those who attended. We will be presenting at the Early Childhood Conference in Butte on April 19th. Thank you again for empowering us with such awesome knowledge! We will continue to "Celebrate the Moment"!!!!! On behalf of Lynette, Sue and Pat. Thank you again and we look forward to future trainings. Donna Kenney

I attended the IMIL training in Salt Lake City. It was awesome, fun and very motivating! I returned to the classroom and we all started moving, moving, moving. The children LOVE Choosy already because we have fun with his music and all the ways he's teaching us about foods and moving. Some children who rarely moved before are starting to participate in activities with smiles. The children beg for Choosy songs and parents report they're coming home tired-can I hear an OO-AAH!

I attended the IMIL training session in Salt Lake City last week. My heart says "Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!" This is going to change the way I teach in the classroom. Looking forward to the next training! Debby from Colorado Springs
