It was such a wondrous sunrise this morning. All the worries and anxiety dessepated when I saw the bright orange sunrise alongside our tundra horizon. SBA testing week is this week. I have been anxious for this day, wondering if our students are ready. Did they learn what is expected from the state? When I look over at the grade level expectations I see that they aren't complicated at all. Teaching our language and trying to make it fit in grade level expectations is a lot of work. Trying to translate, re-type and transcribe takes time but worth the effort. 99% of my class speak English first. Only one child has the Yupik first language. Sometimes if feel bad for the students when they don't know their own Native tongue. I hope I am teaching them as much, to say that they can understand and write the language in hopes to keep our language alive. It's not that I'm doubting myself it's just that I wish Yupik parents can speak more Yupik at home instead of talking English. It would greatly help in school.

Upon examining some etymological dictionaries, one can conclude that games are a creative expression of the human spirit through the
creation of an activity that has an entertaining, instructive and competing
element. t want to forget to buy your all star game tickets at Angels Stadium from an independent ticket broker that cares
more about customer satisfaction than the bottom line.

How often have you bought headsets but discarded them after some
time, once they didn. 4GHz wireless connection to transmit the signal from the keyboard
to the computer. Another great aspect of this remote is that
it comes with a recharging dock.
