It's Been a While!

While out on the land with my students we came across a resting dog team.





Myself and my friend just outside of the community during our daily walk.
















Me again with one my my students. We climbed up a small cliff while out on the land.








Well, it's obviously been far too long since I've posted on here but I will try to catch you up to speed. I arrived back in the community quite excited to start another year. I received the warmest of welcomes from everyone with handshakes from adults and children singing out
their windows "Welcome home". The year has been slightly challenging but thats a part of why I like teaching here.

Some highlights include: Helping out with getting our boys basketball team to a tournament in Iqaluit. Meeting many other northern teachers at our Baffin wide Professional Improvement week in Iqaluit in February and most recently being involved in a high school exchange trip to Quebec! (I'll have to add more about that...)

My only excuse for lack of blogging is that I started my MEd online in the fall. Most of my spare time (other than extra-curriculars...) is spent trying to keep up with readings and course work for that!
