Meet the teacher
I love to know all about my students and so I think it`s important for them to know me as well. Here is some information I would like to share with you!
My Education and career:
I attended Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario. I have been teaching since 1994 and I have taught sk, grade 1,3,4,5,6. I've taught in both French and English. The first school I taught at was Immaculate Heart of Mary. The school is now closed. I then worked at McMaster Catholic for 9 years. I wanted to get closer to home so I moved to St. Isidore. This will be my sixth year at St.Isidore.
I am recognized as a Smart Exemplary Educator by SMART Technologies. In the summer of 2010, I was selected by SMART Technologies to attend a Teacher Summit in Calgary, Alberta. Only 50 teachers from the United States and Canada were selected for this honor. I am also a SMART Certified trainer as of October 2011.
I worked at the School Board Office and traveled to different schools to work with and help teachers with their SMART Boards.
I have given many workshops regarding technology to the teachers in our School Board and to teachers from Ontario and Québec.
I am a Google Certified Teacher.
And a little more about me...
Personal Life
Birthday: I was born on December 15th
Hobbies: photography, running, reading, and swimming
Dream: I dream of teaching in Africa
Author: John Saul and Dean Koontz are my favourite authors.
Food: I like to eat Fajitas!
Colour: Blue and red
Animal: I love them all!
Growing up:
I grew up in a small town in Northern Ontario. When I say northern, I mean NORTHERN! It's 1000 km from Ottawa to Hearst! The winters are VERY cold! -40 degrees (that's not counting the wind factor) is normal for us! I left "home" to go to university. Growing up, I always dreamed of living in Ottawa, so after graduating, I moved here.
My family:
I have a wonderful family! My husband's name is Remi and I have one daughter. Her name is Sophie. She is 15 years old and is in grade 10 this year.
We have three pets. Hima the greyhound: she is 10 years old, Houdini the corn snake and Rocky the Cornish Rex (cat).
As a family, we enjoy snowboarding in the winter. In the summer, we enjoy swimming in our backyard. We also love to travel!
