Welcome to the adventures of a teacher in an Alaskan village!

Wondering Why I Am Here...

“It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; 
not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich;
 not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; 
and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.” Frances Bacon

I like this quote, and find myself really pondering it today. We had a teacher inservice today and I'm struggling with my core beliefs about education and how kids learn. My heart's desire is to truly educate, is that why I'm here?

Once again, I find myself looking around me for the answers when I should be looking up. I'm going to try and stop my thinking and start praying in earnest.

Here's a view from my window of a rainbow that caught my eye and reminded me of the hope that I have. Notice the white cross on the Catholic Church peeking over the rooftop? An amazing view to behold!
