About Me

My photo
Here I go! For the month of January and February I will be leaving the Lute dome and living/ student teaching in Windhoek, Namibia! I thought this blog could be a fun way to share the experience with my friends and family.

Last Day





Today was out last day of summer school! We invited the community to celebrate our students and our last day together. It was hard to say goodbye to all of our students and new friends. So thankful for this opportunity, the people we met, and new friends we gained! It' s been real Tuluksak.

What an experience! Much love Tuluksak,

Week 2-3.

I AM POEMS


I love the way these poems came out. The background is watercolor. Originally, the I AM Poem finished " I am Yupik". My class wanted to change it to " I am a kid" could not argue with that one.















Scavenger hunt day.......


Ms. Olson reads Dr. Suess to the non-expecting students.

Ms. Alyssa interrupts to share a note she found from Dr. Suess about a scavenger hunt.

Students barley able to hold in their excitement. 

Working for our clues. lap around gym.

Crab Crawl/ Bear crawl across gym.

Challenge: encourage Ms. Olson to come out from underneath the ramp. ( this was my favorite.)

We stopped after Ms. Olson, mosquitos got the best of us.
