A few fun questions
Q: What is your favourite children’s book?
A: Love you Forever by Robert Munch - this one always made me "teary" when I read it to my students. Diffindoofer Day by Jack Prelutsky (from notes from Dr. Seuss)
Q: What was your favourite subject in school and why?
A: Math - I thought working with numbers was "fun" ... I still do! Language Arts (Poetry) - so much can be expressed through this genre!
Q: Do you have a favorite memory from school?
A: Making a LIFELONG Friend (met my Best friend in Grade one) and memories of our journey together!
I had a Jr. High teacher that read to us at the beginning of every Language Arts Class.. We would rush to get to class so we wouldn’t miss her reading... She had the best character voices ever!
