- Now that I have a few minutes to update this....
I am a Cape Bretoner living on the other island! I've been on PEI since 2001 when I started my education degree. I currently live in Cornwall and teach at St. Teresa's Consolidated. I love to read and garden and have been spending every spare minute trying to do both!
- School Name & Location
- St. Teresa's Consolidated School
- Teaching Assignment
- Grade 1-6 math, 5/6 health, Reading Recovery (and lots of non teaching assignments!)
I've just found for sure that this will change in the fall. I will be teaching Grade 5/6 Language Arts, Science and Math as well as Grade 1/2 Math. I'm quite excited as this means I will finally have a classroom of my own...no more moving between 5 rooms throughout the day!
- Favorite Authors/Illustrators
- For my pleasure reading: John Grisham, Tess Gerristen, John Saul, John Sanford, Jonathan Kellerman and Dennis Lehane (or anyone else who writes a good medical/forensic/lawyer mystery with a psychological twist!)
For children's and young adult literature I love Lois Lowry (The Giver and the 2 other books that go along with it), Harry Potter, and Ann M. Martin. I'm also a big Robert Munsch fan as well as Eve Bunting and Eric Carle and Doreen Cronin and Mo Wilhems (i think the spelling is right!)
- Best Things about our School Library
- The resources are constantly being updated and are being used more and more.

All students need to play with their learning tools before they are expected to use them as tools (this I’ve learned from using manipulatives in math!) So this lesson will be short and sweet and guided but will hopefully introduce students to using the Audacity program to record their own cd of stories. This will be a school wide project for our June Literacy Day. This day focuses on students engaging in litera… Continue

Where will it all end?
This is a cute video I found that seems to reflect some of the questions we all seem to be asking - what effect will the new literacies have on our teaching and what changes will it make in our schools?

I see you are online at the same time this morning (Sunday, June 1st). I hope you are doing well. I'm having problems with my blog posts. I've had to change them so that "everyone" can see them in order for Dr. Asselin to view them. Are you having a similar problem?
