You might occasionally see her in the background at our Zoom meetings. My wife, Mrs. Ewert, is having our second baby soon, but not until the end of the school year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have a dog named Winston, who loves to swim and chase the ball. We take him outside every day, and he makes sure we always get our daily exercise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My favourite hobbies are running, biking, and swimming, and in the summertime I often compete in a type of sport competition called \u201cTriathlon\u201d that combines all of these individual sports together. I also love to read books, to go hiking, and learning to play the guitar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a fun extra activity for this week, if you have time, I would love for you to share a little bit about yourself with me (interests, hobbies, pets, family, and anything else you would like to share), so that I can learn more about who you are!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking forward to hearing more about you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mr. Ewert\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/b>grant.ewert@burnabyschools.ca<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Division 8,\u00a0 As most of you have already been introduced to me from the last few online class meetings, my name is Mr. Ewert, and I am excited to be your teacher for the remainder of the school year! &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/watts\/mr-ewerts-introduction\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10076,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/watts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10844"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/watts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/watts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/watts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/watts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10844"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/watts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10844\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10855,"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/watts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10844\/revisions\/10855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/watts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/watts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/watts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
