Greetings from Canyon Day
I decided to go ahead and start a blog for family/friends/interested parties about life here in Canyon Day, teaching 8th grade ELA on the White Mountain Apache Reservation.
I'm sitting in my classroom right now listening to pandora.com and contemplating how to even begin this blog. So if you're out there reading this, send me your questions/comments/suggestions. I think I feel a bit overwhelmed because so much has happened. So I'll summarize:
Th first two weeks and two days of teaching have been fabulous. I like my students more and more as time goes by, and so far, they're great kids. Right now, we're studying Greek mythology, and I want to transition into some Apache/Native American mythology and legends. The real excitement of the past week was when the school got struck by lightning. I taught the second half of my class without power, and then we all hung out in the increasingly stuffy classroom until the buses arrived to cart the kids to safety. I have a pic of what the front parking lot looked like, so stay tuned.
Ok, well, I'll try to keep on top of this. Would love to hear your comments and know that you're out there reading.
Peace,
J.
