Hi everyone!

Many years later....today actually I found all these comments, questions regarding my teaching. I had no idea that my video was posted here, therefore I was unable to reply.

If you would like to connect with me, please do it here (I hope I get notifications) OR (better) email me at paola.scalisi@yrdsb.ca

Great video!! We don't have music sadly, it would help so much with every subject, espeically ELA ( sylables, and rhyming).

Thank you Paula! I did not realize until TODAY (so many years after...!) that my video was on this site. Too bad your school does not offer music :( With everything that is happening with the Covid-19 restrictions, adapting the program has been a huge challenge. Hopefully we will be going back to what everything used to be, soon!

Paola :)
