Active Learning: Promotional Demo...view...
"The kids enjoyed having teacher Hiba for P.E. She set up obstacle courses that included hopping and jumping on, over and around brightly colored circles, hoops, sharks, hurtles, etc. The kids even learned some hip hop dances. Even on a rainy day or an unhealthy hot day we stayed inside and got just as active.
In turn this activity had an effect on the children's health. I felt as though they gained some endurance and coordination. Excercise is good for us and the children.
As a result of the high energy Hiba Shublak brought to my class, I have made a commitment to try and do a similiar P.E. day at least once a week with my partner. I am grateful to Hiba for inspiring me."

"Hiba's enthusiasm and energy motivated my students to be actively involved in this new P.E. program. Her obstacle courses and dance routines were a huge hit! The kids had so much fun each time she came to class-they couldn't wait for "Teacher Hiba Days."
Robin Vogel, Kindergarten Teacher

"The students absolutely LOVED working with "Teacher Hiba"! They looked forward each week to the scheduled days of PE with her. I wish we could have her every day!!"
Lori Haley, Kindergarten Teacher
Olive Street Elementary
"The students always looked forward to Thursdays when Teacher Hiba came. They would see her setting up the equipment and get so excited. She did fun obsticle courses with the kids working on skills like hopping, jumping, skipping. She taught us two great grade level appropriate dances that we performed for the parents during the last week of school. She does have her credential so she knows how to handle kindergarten students. I would be glad to have her come back any time."

"My class really looked forward to Teacher Hiba coming. They had so much fun and got a good work out. They enjoyed all her lessons. She made the lessons fun and exciting. It was a great experience. Hiba was always well prepared and positive."
