mr. d


I have quite a story to share with you tonight...it's about a new
television show that will air tomorrow night (Monday, January 9 at 8 pm).  I live in Toronto, Canada so for those of you living a little farther away, you can view the show online (see below for the link and preview).

Okay, when I was in high school a few years ago (ahem, maybe slightly more than a few) I had a funny teacher by the name of Mr. Donaghue (now referred to as Gerry Dee or mr. d).  He taught me for a couple of years, various subjects, and then left the teaching profession to become....a comedian!  Well, turns out that he is FANTASTIC
(as a comedian that is ... just kidding, he was a great teacher too!) 
He has been featured on Last Comic Standing and is just hilarious!  His comedy tours are titled "Life After Teaching" and if you are ever fortunate enough to see him live, it's well worth the money! 
You MUST 'google' him - um...is 'google' a word, sorry, I'm so used to saying it when I talk!?!?!

Now he is coming out with his next project - the television show mr. d
which airs tomorrow night at 8 on CBC.  I can't wait to see what my old high school teacher has up his sleeve (let's just hope there is no character on the show named Alessia!) HA!

Click this preview to check out the show:

I also wanted to mention.....
I made a wonderful 'blogger friend' recently. 
Her name is Julia from Loving and Learning in PreK and her blog is adorable! 
She has lots of cute freebies (which I will be using soon!) and her latest unit
Valentine's Day
has great ideas and activities!  Go and check her out - you will LOVE and LEARN a lot (get it, ha!).

  7. Hi Alessia,
    I am also a teacher in Canada - I live just outside of Ottawa - I have been searching for items to help me teach the 2d shapes and 3d objects part of our Ontario math curriculum. Any ideas??

  9. How fun! I watched the preview, but it would not let me watch the pilot episode. It looks hysterical. Hopefully it will work later. TFS
