I met Waubgeshig Rice...online!Today I had the pleasure of meeting Waub online in a Centra classroom.It was a really good experience to meet someone who had a dream, pursued it, and became successful with it. There were many positive messages that came from Waub. He talked about the importance of being humble and respectful. He talked about surrounding ourselves with the right people. And he

Olympic fever has arrived...For those of you that know me, and for those that are getting to know me, you will know that I am a sports fan. I love and respect all sports! I think sports add so much to our lives. Sports help us build communication skills, competitiveness, flexibility, teamwork, athleticism, balance and most important, they are fun...at least I think!As we know, the 2010 Winter

My Umbilical Cord!Good afternoon everyone...as most of us know the umbilical cord is that lifeline from a mother to a baby inside the mother’s womb. The baby gets fed and nourished by the mother through the umbilical cord. Well, let me first say...I am not pregnant! But I do have an umbilical cord.My lifeline is also known as my headset. It is grey and black in colour. It has 2 ear phones

A busy week at SHLC...So the first week of February has come and gone! Where did January go? Well I can tell you where I went this week.This week I was teaching a Pre-GED Science class on Earth & Space Sciences. One of the topics was on earthquakes and volcanoes.

Well, we've cleaned out the Hudson Learning Centre: we hauled the useful stuff back to our home base in Sioux Lookout, rid ourselves of about 10 computers at the dump (they were useless, but it kind of still hurt...keep thinking they could have been used somehow, like for horrifying the new generations by showing them how things were done in the "old days"!!).We were also hoping to see some "
