Lets see how today has gone…. Well there was kind of a shortage of students in class today.\u00a0 We are only missing about 5 today, which is pretty normal for a Monday.\u00a0 The curious thing is that a couple of the kids that are missing are ones that show up on a regular basis.\u00a0 To counteract that we have a couple here to day that usually don’t show up.\u00a0 Now I don’t know if this is happening because we are starting to apply some legal pressure to the families of students that aren’t showing up, or if they are finally getting bored with being at home and watching TV for the last 5 months, and have decided to try something new.\u00a0 Regardless we have a couple of squirrels here to keep us on our toes today.\u00a0 One of them is literally like flubber.\u00a0 He is always bouncing around the room.\u00a0 His eyes are darting around all the time.\u00a0 He never seems to be paying attention, but when you ask the class a question, he seems to always have the perfect answer.\u00a0 So whatever he is doing he is doing right.\u00a0 He has been to school maybe 20 times all year.\u00a0 Another student on the other hand has been here maybe 3 times all year.\u00a0 He does however show up to all of the home basketball games.\u00a0 I don’t know how he manages to make his way into the crowd, but he shows up anyway.\u00a0The kids just got back from P.E.\u00a0 They are always difficult to quiet down.\u00a0 They supposed to read for 20 minutes.\u00a0 A very difficult task.\u00a0 Anything that involves quiet is pretty much impossible in their eyes.\u00a0 After 10 minutes of continues reminding I have finally succeeded in producing a quiet reading environment.\u00a0It is pretty stormy out today.\u00a0 When the wind picks up the blowing snow causes visibility to decrease quite a bit.\u00a0 At times you are not able to see farther then 10 – 15 feet.\u00a0 Nonetheless, I just saw the kindergarten class walk out side with buckets.\u00a0 Not sure what they are after, but I hope they don’t loose any of them.\u00a0 Over Christmas break a guy in Wales was walking from one house to another in the village.\u00a0 It was so stormy out that he lost his way, and was never found again.\u00a0 It wasn’t like he had a long way to go either.\u00a0 It was a matter of a hundred yards or so, in a very densely housed village. Pretty sad, but a serious warning for others to be careful when they are out in bad weather.It sounds like I will be heading to Stebbins this week for the Eskimo Dance Festival.\u00a0 I am really excited.\u00a0 I understand that it is a great learning opportunity.\u00a0 There is not only dancing, but also classes teaching about the culture.\u00a0 I will be taking a couple of students, and we will be broadcasting the events.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure yet if we will be doing a webcast, or just a broadcast over the videoconferencing system.\u00a0 If it is a webcast I will be sure to provide a link on my blog for anyone who would like to watch it.\u00a0 I’ll know more in a couple of days.\u00a0 I hope everyone\u2019s week goes by quickly.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
