Tunt Beauty

Tonight the mix-six high school volleyball team took on the staff. Nice to be out and to mingle with the other staff outside of school. After the games Kat and I headed over to the Hultbergs for a game of Seafarers.--It was an enjoyable evening and attitudes and tempers were more mellow than usual.

Our Friday staff meeting dealt a lot with language. Is it okay to allow students to use Village English? or should they be expected to use standard English? Lots of interesting discussion ensued. Are they able to master standard English when using Village English or their native tongue? If a student is proficient in one language does it make acquisition of a second language easier or is it more confusing to make transitions?

Tuntutuliak woods. This was taken on my favorite path in Tunt....what a gorgeous afternoon.

This picture portrays a bit of the daily life in Tunt. The big green building (the shop) is Nick's classroom, the raised, fenced in area is the basketball court where kids hang out after school. My house is next to the shop and the school is further to the left.

Look at God's artwork; isn't it amazing?
