I have always felt that Muddy Sneakers helps some of my students shine that normally would not. They have a way of reaching all of my students.

Having hands on experience was very helpful for learning because it was fun.

I had reluctant learners become more engaged in science, and fearful students ... were willing to do things outside their comfort zone.

I have a student that chooses not to speak a lot due to a speech impediment. On Muddy Sneakers trips, he is always wanting to participate and talk because he gets so excited about the activities. He truly comes out of his shell to be a part of the group.

We all know the kids who just don't do well in a classroom setting. Well Muddy Sneakers is their day to flourish and shine.

Muddy Sneakers is another great resource that is well thought out and aligned with NC Science standards but also overlaps with other Core subjects like Math and ELA with their Standards.
