Longer Days!! Finally!!



Quyana to the Akiuk Memorial School for welcoming me. The schedule for classes has been finalized and right now I am going to be interning at the 3rd grade classroom. It's so much better than going classroom to classroom as during the fall semester. Now I am in a contained classroom with the same students all day. They are so aryuqnarqeq, and I kind of missed lower elementary for a while.

Anyways, about Slaaviq!! Our house was second to the last house on the last day. They entered around 4:30 a.m. and the feeding and passing out candies weren't done until 7:30 a.m. That was so hard because everyone was so tired. My favorite part was when we had a guest speaker and he was talking about marriage. It was funny and embarrassing because Carl and I aren't married. Anyways, everyone loved our sea bird duck soup the most and one community member suggested we cook the same soup next year. Wow!!

I hope all is good. I am so thankful for the longer days. Wow!! It's not dark at 5:00 p.m. anymore. I hope you all enjoy the longer days, and this means summer is around the corner. Good day to you all! God Bless!!
