First NHL Regular Season Game

Okay, so up until this weekend I had been to regular season games in 3 of the "Big 4" sports leagues. I'm happy to say that I completed the set this weekend and saw the Oilers down the Wings in a shootout. They really pack you in at Rexall Place...you get to know your neighbour more than you want to!
Big Congrats to the Huskie Men's Basketball team!! Putting Saskatchewan on the basketball map with a HUGE, first ever, National Championship!!

Portfolio Proposal

I have chosen to do an eportfolio. I think that it will come in handy when I am applying for jobs, especially jobs that are out of province. It will give prospective employers a better idea of who I am. I think this portfolio will be good if I am on the sub list. I can give teachers my web address and they can have a better understanding of who is teaching their class while they are away.
This will also be nice if I manage to get a contract. I can give parents the web address and they can see who is teaching their kids. As a parent, I would find this very helpful.
I will include my philosophy of education, my resume, examples of lesson plans and rubrics that I use and also some links to websites that I might use in a class room (teachertube, literary websites, etc.)
I am a little concerned about not having enough content. I plan to combat this through creative layouts and, of course, including as much content as I can.
Here's a rough layout of the main page:


Suburban Nightmare

My wife and I just bought a home in Stonebridge. Don't get me wrong, I really like the new house. The problem is that I already have a mini-van, so moving into the burbs pretty much confirms the fact that I am no longer cool. Oh well, maybe I'll buy a leather jacket...that'll make me look cool.
