I teach 7th through 12th grade science, coach cross country, and I supervise science fair, just to name a few of my duties. Whew!!! that's a lot, and I am constantly kept busy. Overall I love what I do. Some days are hard and some days are amazing! I don't know how long I will stay here, but for now I believe I am where I am meant to be.

We have enjoyed sleeping in, playing xbox, and getting caught up on all of our work. The spring break has gone by way too fast. Yesterday we went sliding down a hill. We had so much fun even though our sled broke!! Here is a video a put together to show our time sliding.<br />

We have also been watching Islander Boys and Girls play district basketball. We have been streaming the games as school and trying to sell the rest of the senior concessions. We have made a little over $800. Tonight is the last night and both boys and girls are in the championship.<br />

Today we went to the store to buy a new sled. Unfortunately we are still waiting and hoping that they have one in the warehouse. We will check later today and I will update if we have success. But at the store they had dance fans. I have been going to dance practice and I hate to keep borrowing so I purchased a pair. Here they are. Can't wait to try them out.<br />

Also over break I have helped a student finish her science fair project. Her question is how salty does water have to be for an egg to float? Next week we travel to Bethel for the district since fair on Thursday and come back Saturday. Hopefully weather cooperates and I will update how she does.<br />

Grad classes, senior fundraising, and science fair have been keeping me extra busy. This is now my second free weekend in a row. However, last weekend I was catching up on sleep from the RTI conference in Anchorage that we went to. It was a great conference but due to weather we were unable to get back home on Monday. Instead we got back Thursday. So in other words we got another 3 nights in lovely town of Bethel (insert sarcasm).<br />
<br />
This week has been a little crazy. We have had many days of delayed start due to weather. It has been very cold and windy. Here is a sample of one of the days and what Nali experienced going outside. She was not very happy as the prospect of going out.<br />

This weekend I already took a break from my usual homework and lesson plans mixed with watching Chuck and did some new things. On Friday our Yup'ik teacher invited a few of us for some fur sewing. We used dental floss for the thread (who knew that was a thing).<br />

Also on Friday I went to the community Yuraq practice with Kelsey. She has been going for a while but I have usually had homework or Senior stuff. So last night I was convinced to go. It was a lot of fun and I was exhausted by the time we got home at about 9:00pm. </div>

Also sorry for the lack of updates. I have so many things to post on but just don't have the time.

Too much blogging for my master's program.<br />
<br />
Anyway, at the end of the school year another teacher and I decided to start a running club and to end it with a community 5K. We had a few kids show up for some of the practices but not a lot. Even with just a few kids we had a lot of fun. On the night of the 5K we only had one other adult that wasn't a teacher but tons of happy kids. Almost every one of them ran the kids 1/2 mile and the 5K, even kindergartners. They were so cute and they all finished. Here are some pics from the race<br />

Our cook gave me a piece to try. Let's just say it was an experience to try it but not something I would do again. It is really fishy tasting and I am not a fan of seafood. </div>

It looked really nice. We had a banquet for parents and graduates the night before. We had steak, ribs, fruit, salad, veggie trays, marshmallows, pretzels, chips, and chocolate for dipping. Then we had cake and ice cream for dessert. It was about $3,000 including the freight charges. But it was worth it because everyone had a great time and had plenty to take home. We ordered 2 cakes one for the night before and the other to celebrate after the ceremony the next day. Unfortunately they spelled a couple of names wrong. It costs about $75 for a full sheet. Below is a picture of the gym for graduation. It looked great!</span></div>

I still have another post I need to create about our 5K run. Hopefully I will get to it before the end of the summer. I have already had a week at home. I'm currently getting ready for a trip to Bali in the middle of June.</div>

I took two 6th graders and a 4th grader. They did so well and loved every minute of it, as did I. We went swimming twice and launched rockets and did many other activities. Here is a pic of them with their rockets.<br />

They also worked really hard on their presentations and it paid off. The 4th grader in the back got 1st place in elementary. The 2 in the front got 2nd and 3rd place for middle school.</div>

I was staying in Bethel a little longer so I could catch the night flight to Anchorage and then continue on to Fairbanks for training for a program. The PREPARES program has been great for my 7th grade students. We have been learning about how climate change is impacting their villages. We are partnered with a Hawaiian school. At the conference we got to meet with our partners and experience sites that our students might get to experience next year. We first went to the Open North American sled dog race. During this event there as also a parka parade and fur auction. </div>

So many great sculptures but since I am a science teacher I will leave you with this one.</div>

We had plenty of time to soak. It was super hot. I only lasted like 10 minutes. This might be a too much info but it was really weird using the toilets. Some of them had water from the springs. When you sat down you could feel the heat. It was a really bizarre experience. </div>

I also got to see a bear and reindeer!! The bear was at the culture museum. So not a live one. But the reindeer are real. We went to a scientists personal reindeer farm. We got to feed and pet them. However they were terrified of us. The scientist studies permafrost. His experiment is so easy but so cool. All he does is drill down about 5 feet and put a pvc pipe in. Then he takes plastic tubing, seals one end and fill it with water and some dye. He places the tubing into the pvc pipe and lets it sit. You can then pull it out and see which layers are frozen. I want to have my students do it.<br />
<br />
Last, I have to share a picture of us leaving. Being a bush teacher we always have totes. We were each given a tote with supplies for next year. It filled the van and we were piled in the back.<br />

I have had to get some gear. I have shoes called icebugs. They are waterproof and have built in spikes. They work great for the ice roads. I have windproof leggings and a a jacket with windstopper. Usually I wear tall thick socks and just a long sleeve 1/4 zip top underneath the jacket. For my head I just wear a headband and if it is extra cold I use the hood on my jacket.<br />

The views on my run have been spectacular. I usually get a very beautiful sunset. I always have to run after school so I usually don't get out until 6 or later at night. Last light is about 7:20 pm.<br />

Here is a video that I forgot to post. About 3 weeks ago I was in Anchorage for the RTI conference and I took Nali with me. On our way out Bethel was super cold and her poor legs were freezing up. So I got her some booties. Rita (a co-worker and my roommate for the conference) took an awesome video. You can decide how much Nali liked her gift.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On another not while in Anchorage there was a 7.1 magnitude earthquake with an epicenter located about 160 miles away. I was on the 11th floor of the Hilton in downtown Anchorage. Rita yelled at me and I literally jumped out of bed. She says Nali was dead asleep and sat up a little before the earthquake, she knew it was coming. Our room shook like crazy! The toilet water slopped out of the toilet and all over the floor. I must be crazy because I thought it was kind of fun. I mean that is after I realized our building was still standing. The room shook for probably 2 minutes. It was very eventful.</div>

This year has been crazy. Fork 3 weeks we had unsafe drinking water, I experienced an earthquake on the 11th floor, and now we have had a TB outbreak. Can't wait to find out what is next!</div>

Coaching, teaching, chaperoning, and taking classes online have led to a crazy semester.<br />
<br />
Our school sent high school students to perform at AFN. This is a gathering for Alaska Natives. They have meeting and discuss what is going on and then they celebrate with Eskimo dance at night. Our high schoolers did great!!<br />

Nail just loves Halloween. This year she was a Dinosaur and I was a worker at Jurassic World. It was so much fun. So many students and staff participated this year making it so much fun. It was tough to choose the best costumes. I remember my first year very few outside of the elementary participated, and now we have quite a few middle and high schoolers joining in. I also remember that no teachers really dressed up my first year. Even I didn't. This year I don't think there was a teacher who didn't participate. <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eMglnx2Ox2s/VkkjszlqCpI/AAAAAAAADgY/MzhoZvMyubE/s640/blogger-image-870570382.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eMglnx2Ox2s/VkkjszlqCpI/AAAAAAAADgY/MzhoZvMyubE/s320/blogger-image-870570382.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

This year I was also helping the seniors try to raise money for their class. We had asked for a popcorn and slushie machine on donorschoose. Here is the popcorn machine in action. We had a lot of fun playing volleyball and selling some concessions to try to raise money.<br />

When Whitney and I returned from Christmas Break this year we had a surprise, a huge pile of snow in our doorway. It was so much fun shoveling it all just so we could get our stuff inside! NOT!!<br />
<br />
I think I am starting to get settled back in now. As soon as I returned I left 2 days later to chaperone high school basketball at a tournament in Scammon Bay. I was gone for about 5 days. Then about 2 weeks later all the staff at Toksook Bay travelled to Anchorage for the RTI conference. This was my 3rd year going. I learned some very great things here that I hope to use in the classroom.<br />

They are working really hard to raise money for a senior trip, but it is hard in such a small community. These 2 items would really help us to raise more funds in our concession.

Sorry it has been so long. A lot has happened since my last update. I have been so busy with cross country, teaching, and I am taking classes for a masters in educational technology through UAS. Nali has missed me lots because I have been travelling a lot. But she did get an extra special treat from my parents. A whole happy meal. Here is her with her burger. <br />

For cross country we travelled to Bethel and Quinhagak. We also had our own meet, but because of scheduling, only 1 boy from Nightmute came to run. Here is a pic of some of my high schoolers.<br />

Here is a picture I will leave you all with. This was taken when we had a
scavenger hunt for 6th-12th grade. I was in charge and I sent myself to
the bay to sit for an hour. It was the most gorgeous morning, but it was a little chilly. <br />

I am so grateful that I am almost back home in Toksook for the school year!!<br />
<br />
It is just such a long trip. We left Indiana at about 6:40 pm Saturday and then made it to Anchorage by about 8 am Indiana time on Sunday. We are currently staying in Anchorage, at the Puffin Inn, until Monday morning. Our flight is at 9:45 am Monday morning and we should be back in Toksook by 2 pm.<br />

In Anchorage we went to the market in downtown Anchorage to start our day. While there they had some circus performers. It was a great show!! They juggled fire, did some acrobatics, rode a unicycle, and shot a plunger arrow at a pan. It was absolutely hilarious.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
After the market, we did a shopping trip at Fred Meyer. I was able to fill a cooler with meat for at a least a month and some other goodies, like bread and fresh produce.<br />
<br />
<br />
Next we came back to the hotel to rest up and spend some time with Nali. We wanted to get some energy for our next adventure.<br />
<br />

<br />
Before we left we got the new edition of the Runner's World magazine. I usually look at the rave run and dream of how I could actually do it. It just so happens this month's rave run was in Anchorage on the wolverine trail. Unfortunately, it is 5.2 miles to the peak so that would be about a 10 mile run. However, we did make it out there with Nali and went for about 30 minutes before we turned around. Nali was breathing so hard and I didn't want to have to carry her back. lol.<br />

We wore Nali out. The hike took us a little over an hour. Usually our walks are like 30 minutes, if we take one.Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02944171379113798408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504639705124518155.post-51829822650978337002015-06-18T05:43:00.000-08:002015-06-30T07:11:45.850-08:00Vacation!!!This summer I decided to take a vacation where I could learn to surf. So I googled surf vacations and found Surf with Amigas (<a href="http://surfwithamigas.com/">http://surfwithamigas.com/</a>). I chose to go on their northern Nicaragua retreat. BEST DECISION EVER!!!!!! Last week I learned to surf, did some yoga, went volcano boarding, and went horseback riding down the beach. It was an amazing week, and one I will never forget!! Everyone was so nice and supportive. I couldn't imagine a better group.<br />

Basically you hike up the most active cinder cone volcano with a wooden sled and then slide down. A guy at the bottom has a radar gun to clock your speed. I went 26 km/hr. It is listed as #2 on CNN's big thrills list (<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/16/travel/thrilling-experiences/">http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/16/travel/thrilling-experiences/</a>). We went down the volcano that is behind us in the group photo below.<br />

We stayed at el coco loco (<a href="http://cocolocoresort.com/">http://cocolocoresort.com/</a>), which was about 3.5 hours away from the airport. The resort is eco-friendly so there was no flush toilet or air conditioning. This hardly mattered as I think I only spent time in our cabana to sleep. It was very nice to be in a place that was a little more rustic, as I was able to disconnect for the week. The resort was so beautiful and every night I was able to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean.<br />

For anyone who is curious about our weather, it is snowing. Yes because
it was easter we got the present of snow, snow, and more snow. I think
someone must've really pissed off mother nature. This is more snow than
we have had all winter. Even though you can't tell it from the picture it was snowing when I took the picture yesterday.<br /><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rwoTgCZ8Aqc/VSMiq6URSSI/AAAAAAAADWE/XYTXyhMlqDI/s1600/blogger-image-1349133331.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rwoTgCZ8Aqc/VSMiq6URSSI/AAAAAAAADWE/XYTXyhMlqDI/s640/blogger-image-1349133331.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

I've had the idea of using exercise balls as chairs for a while now. But just recently did I finally order the stuff to make it happen. I ordered 22 balls and 50 lbs of sand. It took about the whole weekend to get it set up but it was totally worth it. They are super comfortable and the students really like them. (The desks are the new desks I got through donors choose earlier this year.)<br />

A couple of weeks ago we had a spring break!! It was so much fun but traveling was a pain. The first day we tried to get out all day, but our flights were all cancelled. We finally got out the next day in the evening. Then on the way back I got stuck in Bethel for another night. This will definitely affect my plans for next spring break. I think traveling for vacation is a little overacted.<br />
<br />
While in Anchorage we took a trip to Seward. Nali loved the long car ride so much. She slept, tried to be the driver, and found seats on all of us. <br />

The funniest thing was the running of the reindeer. We actually got to run 4 blocks while they had reindeer run between us. It was really funny to see people try to ride the reindeer, and they were not going to have any part in this. Obviously they were really drunk.<br />

The best part was going to Gwennie's later that evening. My mom insisted we go even though I told here was probably just a local greasy dive. I was right. Here is who my Grandma got to sit next to.<br />

It was especially busy the last couple of weeks. We've had tons of basketball, I worked many hours on science fair project, travelled to science fair in Bethel for 3 days, went to Newtok for League basketball, and then had spring break. (I will post about this in a separate post.)<br />

I took 1 student to Bethel for science fair. She is a 4th grader and we had a blast. We got to have fun doing science, go to the store and go swimming!! In the end she ended up getting first place in the elementary division!!<br />

This is a picture of Gloria presenting her project. She studied how animals stay warm. To do this she filled a glove with Crisco (blubber), used a cloth (animal fur), and made a clay box (den). She placed a thermometer in each one and stuck them outside, monitoring the temperature every 10 minutes. She also had a control, where there was nothing to protect the thermometer.</div>

Swimming was so much fun. The pool even had a slide. For most of these students this was their first time swimming in a pool. Let's just say this was the highlight of the trip. Gloria was praying that we got stuck so we could go swimming again. lol.Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02944171379113798408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504639705124518155.post-25787538315384895272015-01-21T18:18:00.001-09:002015-01-21T18:18:27.703-09:00Please Help!!I am asking for donations to help get some science materials for my kids in physical science.

She is actually fairly calm. I gave her 2 Benadryl, 3 calming treats, and tried to embarrass her with a light up Christmas sweater.

The video above is the toe kick. He didn't quite get it. The object is to kick the stick straight back. This kid is also an amazing singer. Check out his facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/I.Sing.You.Dance?ref=br_tf</div>

This is the wrist carry. The object of this event is to hold on with
your wrist for as long as you can. It looks very painful in my opinion.</div>

Here are some pics of our Halloween costumes. Nali was still very upset and embarrassed to wear her costume. I went as Jane Goodall and I taught my 7th and 8th graders about her today. They were fascinated by the chimps. We had a great turnout of costumes today at school. It was really exciting!! I have not seen the kids get this into Halloween since I've been here. Even the high-school students had some great costumes :)</div>

This year I got a pumpkin this year. YAY!! Every year the school purchases some, and this year I got one!! The eight graders wanted to name it. They decided on Boots from Dora the Explorer. A couple of students came to help me Wednesday, but last night I was stuck finishing it myself. It turned out pretty good, but it took a long time.<br />

Holy cow!!! Life has been so busy (that's why I haven't posted in a while). After our home cross country meet I went to Bethel, then Chevak, and finally Anchorage. Even the kids were exhausted. They fell asleep waiting for the plane. lo. This last weekend was my first chance to relax. It was absolutely glorious!!! But overall the season was great!! The kids had a blast, and I had more students than I ever had participate. <br />

Also, we finally got the new desks. I'm not sure if the students are thrilled because they can't lay on them, and they are so light that when they lean back chairs the desks move. I love them!!! Two of my pet peeves are leaning back and laying on the desks. Thanks so much to everyone for your help in getting the new desks :)<br />
