I haven't updated in a few weeks. Things are busy here in Napakiak.
I went to Portland the second week of December for a conference. It was amazing! I got to connect with other 2nd grade teachers from rural schools in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. We stayed at Skamania Lodge just over the Washington border. It was so beautiful. I would definitely return there. Here are some pictures from the lodge...
Indoor heated pool
Outdoor hot tub! They also had 2 indoor hot tubs.
One night after the conference I was with 3 other teachers and we met some people who work for Nike! There is a company store near Portland where everything is 50% off. However, you need to have a special pass to enter the store. Our new friends gave us four passes to get in and shop! It was awesome.
After returning to Alaska there were only 5 more days until Christmas break! The week went fast because we had a staff Christmas party, a Christmas program, and grades were due! My class sang Jingle Bell Rock at the program. Some of my students dressed up and Santa came to visit!
On the last day of school Santa brought gifts for my class and we enjoyed some snacks while watching the Grinch.
Here are some pictures from the air...
...and some from Napakiak.
I will do another update tomorrow about my relaxing Christmas break in PA!
