Classroom Update

 

 

          Spring is in the air and the sun is shining each morning on the way to school now so maybe now that the winter blues has passed is the reasoning behind my reorganization of my classroom.  Either way, yesterday after school I decided to shift my furniture around.  It had already been changed from the previous video shown but never has it looked as good as it does now.  I LOVE it, the Smart Board is at the center and the student's tables are surrounding me.  It's so much livelier and exciting and all of the areas are now utilized more efficiently.  

Happy Valentine's Day during Red Zone

 

         So this blog post is going to be short and late.  Our Valentine's Day this year was fairly uneventful as we were on Red Zone because of Covid for the week before Valentine's Day and the week of (total of 2 weeks).  Covid was going wild in Kaktovik with official counts around 18 in our isolated bush Alaskan village and unofficial numbers rumored to be much higher.  Even I missed three days because I was sick although my results came back negative and I was able to be back in time for a Saturday make-up day (mocking humor here).  Nonetheless I still sent my student's Valentine's Day cards in their school packs and one Kindergarten student was holding it up and playing with it the entire Messenger call (our internet bandwidth here his too weak for families to do Zoom calls).
