How do you eat a whale?

...one bite at a time!  I changed my old favorite from elephant to whale so that my students could relate better, and it worked.

Now, I feel like I'm the one eating the whale.  This last week of school is whirlwind, so many details to take care of for my classes:  grades, records, organizing, packing, decisions for next year.

The last days I've spent making Yup'ik style dolls, modeled after a doll that one of the teachers here learned to make at a district workshop.  The students have done a great job, here are some of the finished products:

So, off to take another bite of that whale!
