lifesajourney: February 2009
http://lifesajourney-brooke.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 19, 2009. Nelson Island School (Toksook Bay). My final village visit this trip was to Toksook Bay. I have to admit, this is my favorite village. It is the largest village I visit, and in the most beautiful spot right on the shores of the arctic ocean. There is a herd of Musk Ox nearby (although I have not seen them yet! This was the village I visited first back in October. The people are great and very welcoming. This is the only way you will know if a plane is coming! After attending ...

lifesajourney: Towels + Earplugs = SLEEP!
http://lifesajourney-brooke.blogspot.com/2009/04/towels-earplugs-sleep.html
Thursday, April 16, 2009. Towels Earplugs = SLEEP! I have discovered the magic combination for sleeping through: A: the never-ending Alaskan sunlight and B: noisy roommates who cook and watch TV at 3:00AM- -. Towels (pinned over the windows).

lifesajourney: April 2009
http://lifesajourney-brooke.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 23, 2009. The Eye (Brows) Have It! I cannot believe I have not posted about this before! Knowing this fact is crucial to ANY communication with Yup'ik speakers. So, generally if you ask someone if they want to do something you will get a verbal "yes" or "no" or at least a nod or head shake. Not here-they only way to decipher your answer is to watch the eyebrows. If a Yup'ik person is answering "yes", they will raise their eyebrows. That is it! PS The answer "no" is just a blank stare!

lifesajourney: It's a small world
http://lifesajourney-brooke.blogspot.com/2009/04/its-small-world.html
Monday, April 13, 2009. It's a small world. Many people have asked about the size of the airplanes that fly into Bethel- around here, it is called "the jet". Although the plane is large, the front half of the plane is filled with cargo, so the seating is reduced by half. Notice in the picture that they are unloading huge cargo boxes as we deplane. That is so cool! I love running into fellow UofM/Missoula folks outside of Montana! Enjoy your last trip! April 14, 2009 at 11:21 AM. Snow day and reminiscing.

lifesajourney: November 2008
http://lifesajourney-brooke.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2008. I have decided to give this blogging thing a try! Thanks Allie for getting me going! What better time to start than now! I will be leaving on my second trip to the frozen north in just a few short days. For those of you who don't know, I have taken on a new adventure this year. I work for the Lower Kuskokwim School District based in Bethel, Alaska. I travel to outlying villages in the bush (as they say up there! For 2 weeks each quarter of the school year. So, stay tuned.

lifesajourney: Food for Thought
http://lifesajourney-brooke.blogspot.com/2009/04/food-for-thought.html
Sunday, April 19, 2009. Anyone that knows me knows how much I like to cook and bake. And I still enjoy it while working in the frozen north! It also helps the time to pass quickly when you can sit down to a nice home-cooked meal with someone else! Our first night here, we had salad and pasties- Yum-Yum! Sure beats cans of soup and packages of oatmeal! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Day to day with the Hanson's. Snow day and reminiscing. Queue clean up: Twilight Time. Cereal Makes Her Happy.

lifesajourney: December 2008
http://lifesajourney-brooke.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 11, 2008. We are Out of Here! These last 2 weeks have really flown by! We are on our way back to the lower forty-eight! I return for my third quarter trip in February. See you then! The one thing that has been hard to get used to is the amount of sunlight we have during the day. We finally see the sun about 10:30 every morning. By 4:30 each afternoon the sun is fading away! Here is a shot of my plane at 9:00 am! Here are some more pictures from my adventures in Atmau. Although I was on...

lifesajourney: Moose Cheeseburgers
http://lifesajourney-brooke.blogspot.com/2009/04/moose-cheeseburgers.html
Thursday, April 16, 2009. One of my third grade students was telling me about a recent trip to Puerto Rico that he and his family took. *. I was asking him about the things they did, what they saw, and what they ate. He told me that he had had cheeseburgers, but he did not like them. I asked his why and he asked my if I knew they made cheeseburgers out of cow? Yes, I did I said. I asked him what he thought cheeseburgers made of- he replied "Moose".

lifesajourney: Native Children's Art Show
http://lifesajourney-brooke.blogspot.com/2009/04/native-childrens-art-show.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2009. Native Children's Art Show. This week at the District Office, there is a display of children's artwork from all the village schools. It was so much fun to look at, and really made me think of my "art docent" days at Cherry Valley School in Polson! Very creative. I love to see the differences from one region to another and one culture to another :-). April 22, 2009 at 6:32 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Day to day with the Hanson's.
