  The Ministry of Educations curriculum in both
  mathematics and science today is very challenging for students especially students who are visually impaired and blind. To meet these curriculum challenges students need to use "manipulatives" to help them understand certain concepts. Unfortunately most commercially produced manipulatives are often very small and difficult to handle for students who do not have any sight. "Boo Blocks" help solve this issue with their size and functionality. The ability to create three dimension shapes that are a size that both low vision and totally bind students can tactually understand make these tools extremely valuable for classroom teachers. In addition these manipulatives are easy to construct are strong enough to be handled by a number of students. My classroom teachers have for years tried to make three dimensional shapes to teach concepts to visually impaired students and Geometro have solved this issue completely. As the only school for the visually impaired in Canada we are totally committed to using Geometro "Boo Blocks" from grades 1 to 12 in both mathematics and science.

I have used Dr. Skowron's geometric shapes a number of times in
 

my Grade 4 and 5 classes. Math manipulatives are very powerful learning component in the Ontario Math curriculum and these items contributed to building high interest in Math, self-motivation, self-direction and solid learning in the children. The Velcro edges allowed each piece to be student-friendly and easy to connect, as they facilitated the construction of both simple and more complex geometric shapes. Activities were grade appropriate, yet reaching the varied abilities of the students. Dr. Skowron's geometric shapes very much complemented the programs in my classroom.

As a classroom teacher who has worked with Aniceta Skowron on
 

several occasions to promote interest and curiosity in Science, I highly recommend the "Geometro" program and activities available to classroom teachers and their students. During presentations by Mrs. Skowron, children were involved in activities which promoted creativity, learning and enthusiasm! Aniceta is knowledgeable, energetic and well aware of the fact that children internalize concepts and skills more successfully when they are involved in well-planned and structured "hands-on" activities.
