Manel L.
Upper Elementary Montessori Teacher
I would highly recommend the support of Backpack Sciences. This program enhanced my approach to teaching science. I noticed myself becoming more confident in preparing and presenting lessons without the stress of looking at random resources online. Students show enthusiasm to learning new science lessons. As a long life learning, I cannot overstate the value of Backpack Sciences. It is a fantastic program.

Lower Elementary Montessori Teacher
I just want to take a little moment to tell you how grateful I am for Science Backpacks membership. I am a first year Lower Elementary Montessori teacher starting from scratch and even (though) I have the support of my administrator and co-worker that had been amazing, I personally was feeling overwhelmed with all the work ahead of me. After I signed up for the membership, I was able to find lessons ready to present to my students...feeling a little more confident about it.

Kristen Richter Brown
Parent, Montessori educator and Co-founder of Using Art for Emotional Literacy
Backpack Sciences’ lessons are a life saver. They provide clarity and a foundation to my science curriculum. This allows me to be free to authentically engage with my students rather than thinking ahead about “What am I going to do next?” They have also given me my weekends back. Thank you, Jackie, for giving me a breath of fresh air and confidence.
