Xann - Mastering the Lost Art of Morse Code!
Xann is an enthusiastic student in Grade 7 who has mastered the lost art of Morse Code.
From childhood, Xann has had weak muscles in his hands and gripping a pen or pencil to print proved difficult and tedious.
Jamie Reads!
When Jamie first got his laptop computer, neither of us was sure how to use it. Luckily for us, our speech and language assistant came regularly to our class to install exciting new stories, poems and activities for his Clicker 5 program. All we had to do was click on the smiley face and away we could go. I told her that if I could learn to do the activities, then so could Jamie. Jamie, of course did much better than me but he was patient with me as he showed me how to make my sentences.
