Dog Daycare Coop Program

Shane's work coop program has been getting a lot of press lately. In fact both of us were on CBC's The National last week. Here's the link to read the CBC article, and you can click on the video as well:

We are all so proud of Shane. He expressed himself very well.

The program has done a lot to build his confidence. He really loves working with the dogs, he has had the chance to demonstrate his strong work ethic, and develop his organization skills, all in a safe environment since the program is run out of the school. Now the teachers have had a chance to see some of the skills and abilities that I see at home!

A big thank you to West Credit Secondary School, and the principal, Ms Sheahan, for building this program. It took courage and drive to make it happen. Shane's eyes have been opened to potential career paths working with animals, and he wants to apply for a summer job in a pet store.

Book Report Template: Fiction - Free Worksheets

Book report templates seem to be the most popular on my blog, so I am re-publishing an old post. Simply right-click on an image, and either save to a file or print directly from this blog site. You do have to print each page separately.


I have previously posted a simple 1-page book report. It can be used by beginners or more advanced students to force brevity and work on summarizing skills. Here it is:

I have also developed a fuller book report for the more advanced reader. Remember when answering the questions to use proper sentences, and the good paragraph structure with opening sentence, supporting sentences, and closing statements. This structure can be used for book reports at any grade level. I have given an example using JK Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".

Enjoy your reading!
