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!

Hi!
I am a preservice teacher in training in North-East Australia. I am intrigued by life in Nunavut and would like to know how you found the application process for become a teacher. I realise from reading your blog that you are exceedingly busy, so I understand if you don't have much time. Great pictures by the way. My email is axler8@gmail.com. Thanks and hope you are having fun,
David
