Making wasted time into learning time for your future genius!

Introduction

New to your area!  Serving Roseland P.S. by foot, & several others by near by bus stop, I will be able to assist with homework completion & tutor 5 children grades JK-8.  I am an Ontario Certified Teacher, & have been supply teaching since 2007.  I love the work, & would like to bring it back home!

Need reassurance that your child is getting to school, doing their homework, or you don't understand their assignment?  I'll get them There & Back Again!  I'll help them with their school work!  As a teacher, it's what I do!

I work on a pre-paid 10 day pass system & accept students starting with as few as 2 days per week!  I stamp it when you come in and keep attendance.  You have a record and I have a record.

Morning program runs from 7:00-8:00am sharp when we leave for school.  Afternoon program starts when I receive your child from school at 2:45pm, and closes at 6:00pm sharp.

I also have a PD/Snow Day pass of 5 days (4 regular PD Days, 1 Snow Day).  These will be sold first come, first registered due to lunch & extra activities such as movies, hiking, swimming, and more!(Snow Days added as necessary, & include rented movie, lunch, & group games, NOT out of building activities.)

All before & after school prices include tutoring, homework completion/help, nutritious artificial-free snack, walk to/from school/bus stop & tv free entertainment such as board games, cooking, arts & crafts, & building toys.

Homemade Chicken Nuggets!

If you follow the Instagram feed, or Facebook as it's linked, you know that we had homemade chicken nuggets today! The recipe is from Eat Like A Dinosaur (#ELaD) by The Paleo Parents. I love this book and cook from it often. ☺

Ingredients:
3 chicken breasts, deboned and skinned
2 C almond flour
2 Tbsp arrowroot powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp dry mustard
1/8 tsp black pepper
¾ C olive oil

1. Mix dry ingredients together.
2. Cube chicken breasts (or strip) in 1" cubes.
3. Dip in olive oil.
4. Roll in flour!
5. When done they will be golden brown and the fluid run clear. :D

Bake for 15-20 min at 400*F.
