This Show Really Sings
I don’t watch a lot of television. It’s not simply because of the limited choice I have with the rabbit ears on top of my TV set either. I think it’s due to the fact that most shows seem to let me down. I haven’t had a must-see show in a few years, which I…

Three Elusive Quarters
This is a short story I wrote entitled “Three Elusive Quarters” It is fiction and told from the point of view of a ten year old girl. I thought I should make that clear since “I” on this blog normally refers to me and not a fictional character. Let me know what you think. I…

The Key Elements Great Teachers Possess
What Makes a Great Teacher by Amanda Ripley is a great article that really dissects the key elements that great teachers possess. 1) “First, great teachers tended to set big goals for their students.” I agree.

An Extra R
I like that my family played board games together. We played Uno, cribbage, snakes and ladders, chess, checkers, and Candyland. But by far, my favouite game of all time is Scrabble. I’ve played it since I was young. My grandma really liked playing the game and I’m sure she humoured me back then because my…

Please Think Before You Tweet
Twitter is a great platform. It allows you to express yourself quickly and succinctly. You can connect with other people and share your thoughts or observations, all in less than 140 characters. The only problem with it is that it is almost too easy. Any random thought can be quickly typed out and published. I…
