Thursday

I haven't anything new to report except that I am still doing report cards, and will be at the school for a bit longer tonight. There are two tough parts about this. first, I have two classes, and thus, more report cards to do than any other teacher in this school. Second, I must make up report cards for everyone of my registered students. Now, I have been teaching here for a little over a month, right? Well, there is a large handful of students that I have only met a few times...or even better, not at all!

Thank God for Colinda. She is my blessing during this stressful time. She reminds me what each child looks like, how the acted when they were here and who they hung around. She knows these kids, both as a teacher and as a community member. My principle has also been very patient with me, to help these report cards to look professional and positive...even when it is hard to be positive!

Ready for the juicy gossip?

Rumor has it that the local women's hand game team met last night. One of the topics? Should they invite that white girl to play. I hope they choose yes!

Hand games are a traditional game here. I haven't had the chance to play, or even watch yet. I believe though that there are no mixed games, but female and male teams only. I had really wanted to play at our PD day in Garden River, but my team wasn't scheduled for that event. That's okay though...I rocked the karaoke machine!
