5 Minutes or More...

Wow--the sun has been shining for days now!  The sun rises at 8:16 and sets at 6:09--the days are getting longer.  It's amazing we get 5 minutes or more of daylight everyday!  Denali was out in her full glory this weekend--I got a peek on Sunday!  The mountains always amaze me and they look different every day depending on the weather!

Last Friday we took our students to the Performing Arts Center in downtown Anchorage to see Soul Street--a breaking dancing troupe.  Boy, I haven't been on a bus in a long time...let alone with 7th graders!!  I managed to get back at a few of them by threatening to sit with them on the bus.  I also danced--yes, the white girl, Elaine style, at the performance--all in all it was a good, embarrass your students, kind of trip!!  Oh--we only lost one student--Eddie Munster (seriously, this kid is a dead ringer for Eddie)--but damn--he found us before we got away!
