Is This Pace’s First Freedom to Read Experience?

 So this is an interesting one… Pace’s Grade One class has started a daily reading log where they’re assigned some easy readers.  They have to record the titles of the books as they read them. In addition to the assigned reading, they can also record any other books (or chapters of books) they read or […]

Saturday Snap – Halloween Hijinxs

I didn’t actually dress up for Halloween this year (does “Guy who works at a library” count?) but this selfie, taken outside the photo booth they had at our Staff Development Day on October 25 this year sure makes it look like I did!   Pace’s idea of decorating a pumpkin included a self-serve option.

Itinerary of a Day Off

As part of my new job as Regent Place Branch Head, I now work a few evenings and weekend shifts each month which means at least once a month my “weekend” is on Monday and Tuesday. This can be a big advantage sometimes when Pace is in school and I can get to appointments I […]

Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this is now and then is then!”

Here are a few pics I threw together in a slideshow to celebrate the first snow of the year. “Celebrate” might sound like the wrong word but for me, the first snow of the year is always exciting and, as the song says, “I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this […]

Saturday Snap – Perogy Poutine

I don’t post a lot of pictures of food on my blog but I couldn’t let this one go by.

Music Monday – “9 was minding his business/Talking to 10 about Gordie Howe’s clothes/Why 7 ate 9 nobody knows”

Pace’s grade one class has access to a site called IXL.ca.  This site has a series of modules on various aspects of math that kids can work through to learn concepts including counting, addition, shapes and so on. There are dozens of modules under various headings, each with escalating levels of difficulty – for example, under […]
