Go Cats Go! Take Home that Cup!
My hometown team plays in the Grey Cup today! I am really excited about this game. It’s been a long time since we have been in position to win the CFL title. I went to a Grey Cup game once before. We hosted the championship game back in 1996. It was a crazy game. That […]

Effective Question Techniques Teachers Should Use
Classroom Management: A Thinking & Caring Approach by Barrie Bennett and Peter Smilanich This is a typical question that teachers often ask the class, “Who can tell me the difference between a fact and an opinion?” It’s not an effective question because it only holds one student accountable and lets everyone else off the hook.

Remember, Respect, and Honour the Past
It’s Remembrance Day here in Canada – a day where we pause to reflect on the past sacrifices many have made on our behalf. I am reminded of the time I spent serving as a member of The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry. I loved being in this band. We looked sharp and sounded amazing. We […]
