The last two weeks have pretty much been the longest couple weeks ive had since September. Perhaps it was the impending winter break, but my did it take forever!
This past Thursday I had a Christmas party with my kiddos, and I actually had 8 out of my 9 students show up…and the amazing thing? At least one relative of each child showed up to watch their child show what they have learned, do table activities with them and take pictures. This is the first time that so many parents/relatives have taken part in a celebration all year. It was wonderful, but by the end of the day my class was a mess, and glitter was everywhere. Ha.
I fly out tomorrow at 4:15pm from Gambell to Nome, then Nome to Anchorage, and Anchorage to Seatac, then lastly Seatac to Port Angeles to pick up my car. I am so excited for my visit :D I am packed already (thankfully my family is letting me stay with them so I didn’t have to pack much). Last weekend I completely scrubbed down my apartment, refrigerator and all….now tomorrow before I leave I just have to wipe down counters and vacuum.
I don’t know if I’ll be posting on my blog much these next few weeks. I hope I’ll be busy having fun and seeing everyone. You have no idea how excited I am about just going for a drive :) LET WINTER BREAK BEGIN!!!!!
~~~~Seeing-into-tomorrow~~~This blog follows my experiences as a first year teacher in Gambell Alaska. Gambell is positioned in the Bering Sea, 38 miles away from Russia and 19 miles away from the international date line (hence the title of this blog :))
