"Mrs. Angela Russ-Ayon presented My Shadow Moves with Me: Simplifying Science! to forty preschool teachers and family child care providers on March 18, 2023, in Imperial County.
Mrs. Angela has a knack for presenting information that some teachers may find intimidating in a way that is non-threatening and gets the teachers excited and feeling empowered! Attendees learned about the areas of science and were provided with simple, relatable examples. Teachers loved the visuals she shared, particularly the science stations, and couldn’t wait to return to the classroom to set up their own!
Mrs. Angela engaged the participants with songs, music and movement, and hands-on experiments! Her training resembles a high-quality early childhood program that reminds teachers how much fun learning can and should be!"

Angela presents her keynotes and workshops using a lecture format and PowerPoint display infused with music and movement activities. Her “ah-ha” moments spark creativity and engage participants from both an early childhood-oriented and an adult learner's perspective. The lengths of her presentations vary, as do the activities, depending upon the audience. She speaks to audiences young and old on the subjects of early childhood development, early math, simple science, creativity, and literacy.
Keynotes range from 1- to 2-hours or more, and training can be scheduled for longer. All attendees are encouraged to participate and collaborate in a break-out or two, creating their own memorable experience and sharing ideas as a practical model. Because of the nature of her activities and the high level of audience participation, her training is not recommended while dining.
All music and book titles are available for convention goodie bags at a discounted bulk rate, the purchase of which can supplement her speaking fee.
Her musical activities are free to use in any training or workshop. Simple notify her by email prior to use and be sure to reference her website as the source during your presentation and on the hand-out.
