It’s been 8 days since I posted a picture of my favourite wooden boat photographic muse. It’s on shore in Back Harbour Twillingate and it calls to me each time I visit. I wish I knew a bit more about its story-can anyone shed some light?The view from my classroom window this morning…If I could just spread my wings and fly…often said on a steep descent to save knees and toes! In other words, Marian making TA’s favourite shape on the top of Gibbet Hill!We had a family canoe outing with the grand young humans. We catamaraned the canoes to make the trip super fun (think party boat for toddlers) and super safe (virtually impossible to tip). This is a technique I also use when adapting canoeing for folks with various disabilities who might benefit from some extra stability. You can also see that Marian and I had a win in getting “proof of concept” on our canoe outrigger situation (again these will add additional stability for anyone who needs it). So fun to see Long Pond through the eyes of young ones.The sky, the sky, the sky…as seen from my one my newest favourite spots on Signal Hill for a view. I usually only have to share it with the birds.Craving views-Signal Hill offers them in every direction and every part of the day from sunrise to sunset!TA’s Facebook Page

Welcome aboard. Thanks for letting me know your enjoying learning about Nepal
Hey TA,
We look forward to checking your blog posts and finding out how your day is going! We have just 2 questions that we would like for you to answer, if you get time. 1. Do you need to wear an oxygen mask when you reach the top of the mountain? 2.How high is Mount Everest?
Thanks, hope you are able to respond.
Ms. Green’s grade two class at Holy Family Elementary in Paradise, NL.
Hi. Mount Everest is 8848 meters high and most people need to use oxygen at the summit. A few folks manage to summit without it.
