Monday-First day at School
We woke up to a beautiful arctic morning with sunshine and less wind. I walked to the school (10 min) enjoying the sleepy village. It is very quiet here and almost nobody is on the streets. We got a warning about polar bears in the area. The teachers are very welcoming. We meet Flora the Inupiaq teacher in the morning. I am very impressed by her teaching style addressing the diversity of her students. It was a lot of fun watching her kids interacting with each other, singing, dancing, and laughing. What an interactive fun way to learning a language. The NSBSD school district uses podcasts teachers help producing for learning the Inupiaq language. Click in the animal one below and learn. We will visit her again. Much to learn.

Neat pictures. The slide show is on the side of your blog is also cool. It's a good way to include a lot of pictures without cluttering the body of the page. I look forward to seeing more.
