Welcome to the adventures of a teacher in an Alaskan village!
"The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps." Proverbs 16:9

"I jokes!"

The kids at school often use that phrase in the same way I would say, "I'm just kidding!"  Accompanied by an infectious grin,  it tickles me and makes me smile.

Water:  Ice was melted and the tank was refilled this morning, no stench entered my room to interrupt my teaching.  I am grateful.  I thought it funny that Anna, of all people, declared us to be "hardcore" to not cancel school!

And, speaking of Anna,  she made me smile with this amusing anecdote:

"A dog got into the school somehow... and it ran underneath the table I was sitting at, hiding at my feet.  It was scared and wouldn't come out... I  calmly got out of my chair and one of the kids ended up taking it out."

Life is ever interesting in the bush schools!
