Shore Side Learning Centre

Spending March Break coaching some pretty stellar students makes celebrating sixteen years of teaching even better!

I cannot imagine a better way to spend my 15th teaching anniversary than with a bunch of amazing kids in the classroom over March Break! Fifteen years of working with fantastic children, phenomenal programs, and wonderful families makes me feel incredibly lucky! Thanks to all of you who have filled those years with joy, laughter, and the love of learning! :)

It is truly a heartwarming moment when one of your students decides to not only share their experience in the SpellRead program with all of their classmates through their speech festival, but also brings it in to class to present it to me! Nick very lovingly and conscientiously crafted his speech detailing his time at Shore Side. What a proud moment--Thank you, Nick! :)

"Hi, my name is Nicholas and I am here to talk to you about SpellRead. SpellRead is a program to help you with reading and writing. SpellRead has made me more confident with myself in Language Arts. The SpellRead program focuses on developing the student's mind. Before you start SpellRead they do an assessment on you. The book I am reading in SpellRead is 'Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief.' This book is one of my favourite book series. SpellRead has helped me a lot in my reading. That's why I am at this high of reading level. What I do when I go to SpellRead is I start with some flash cards of consonants and vowels and I read a book. After I am done reading I write about what I read. When I am at SpellRead I work one on one with my SpellRead teacher, Tara. SpellRead's main focus is to develop letter-sound relationships. My favourite part of SpellRead is reading. I learned to keep my finger on the page. SpellRead helps to develop your brain. SpellRead is known as a successful program. Students and educators see progress from the first lesson. SpellRead has helped me read out loud in class and develop a greater love for reading. Thank you for your time. I hope you liked my speech."
