Teaching Braille in PE – PHE America

03/04/2023binomo

Each school year, I teach a unit called “Abilities Awareness”. Making students aware of each other’s different abilities helps us become better citizens and leads to a more positive and inclusive school climate. This awareness leads to empathy and a deeper understanding of our peers’ individual learning needs resulting in a sense of belonging, community, and value in our school community. This unit is also an opportunity to address misconceptions surrounding different disabilities. In the words of Winston Churchill, “Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common. Celebrate it every day.”

Everything changed. We had to sacrifice. All the news was about the war.” Slaymaker enjoys telling stories and at 86 years old he has a lot to share. His tales entertain and often he adds flavor, and exaggerations to key details for a greater

Letter: Saskatchewan’s health-care staff shortage means people suffer

In November, provincial premiers joined together to demand the federal government to increase funding through the Canada health transfer. The response was not what provincial leaders had hoped for.

The Government of Canada’s Minister of Health Jean-Yves Duclos responded with the need to discuss benchmarks to account for improvements to the provincial health-care system.
