The March Blues

So it's that time of year where freezing your butt off everyday is getting old and you are looking forward to the summer months--it was -20 today when I woke up which makes it pretty darn tough to get outta bed. March is just tough all around because you can't really go outside and do anything  I must rely on the internet and life time to keep me occupied.  Yesterday I decided to be a dog groomer and give Ranger a cut---good thing poor guy doesn't have a mirror--it looks like a mess and has a bald spot.

State testing is next week so this week is going to be an intense week of getting ready for next week.We have been doing some fun things like this picture. This was an activity from Pinterest on adjectives. I've been using pinterest for everything and it's made teaching a bit more fun.

So most of you know that taught in Quinhagak for a year--that is where this whole blog started from---well this weekend was Camai which is a dance festival that shows some of the great dances and art going in across our district. This weekend Quinhagak had a dance team and I decided to go and check them out. You see they have not had a dance team for 100 years. It was something that hadn't been allowed until this year when they were planning for the festival. In just two weeks the children learned a variety of dances and songs. As soon as they got on stage I started crying like a big mess. Words can't describe how powerful it was to see old students and kids I taught and knew doing something they were so proud of. It was quite the touching experience and made me happy about what I am doing out here and just the whole culture in general. I am going to try and look for some pictures of it all.

That's it for now----

I'm Back!

I'm BACK!

Science Fair 2013

So after over a year almost 2-- I decided that it is time to start blogging again. My blog was a great de-stresser and ways to connect with old friends which I miss. I really enjoyed doing it in Quinhagak and it just sort of stopped. Although there are only 2 more months of school left--9 weeks exactly--I am sure interesting things will be happening and I will blog about them.

I'm sitting here listening to my motivation (Miss B Spears) trying to think of something philosophical to write about but I've got nothing right now.  Stay tuned...big things are in store.
