Mois: novembre 2021
Great Things Seen & Heard
- A new substitute confused our two older white-haired men on her first day.
- Volleyball divisional results: girls won and boys came in second. Way to go, teams! Thanks, DW!
- Killer weekend for one teacher: her family members had much hunting success and she got her moose! Congratulations, JA!
- Conversation with student: Maybe tutoring will help? (No, dear, you have missed 80% of your classes so it will take more than that…)
- Overheard: Today is all right, but tomorrow will be my favourite day: it will be like a Friday but will only be Tuesday!
- Overheard: Lazy plus absence equals a deathly combination.
- Student asks for exemption for an assignment: First he had volleyball, then he had basketball, and THEN he had a shop fire. The shop lighting on fire was totally beyond his control.
- What kind of drawl do some students have at EWP? Why, withdrawl of course!

- Student seemed proud of his reputation: he was bragging, “Moms are really into me! Every time I’m on Facebook, they like me!”
Clips & Tips
Sometimes seeing the world through the eyes of our students helps us reach them to teach them. This video clip showing the point of view of a 16-year-old autistic student really changed the way I see particular behaviour of certain students, while the other link leads to more information and videos. I’m sure there is something for everybody on that page:
