Song in Yup’ik to time handwashing

Hands should be washed for 20 seconds, at least. That’s very hard for many adults to time, so it is suggested to sing Good Morning to You (royalty free) or Happy Birthday twice. See previous, Song to time hand washing for hygiene and disease prevention

A young friend of mine and her younger brother helped me record this version of the birthday song in Yup’ik Eskimo. Total playing time is 20 seconds (mp3 file).

Teachers of the Tundra

Mannlicher Weekend, Montreal 2009 July 14

click here to see more pictures. One of the pleasures of being in Montreal is connecting with culture. I discovered Back Street Records and Pastries directly across the lane. I also hooked up with Michael Waterman and was a guest on the afternoon broadcast of the Mannlicher Carcano Radio Hour.

2009 Yup'ik Dance Festival

Now that I've acknowledged that I am a blog slacker, I figured that I should make up for all the events that passed by without even a mention on my blog. The weekend of the Yup'ik Dance Festival is always a busy one. People from Bethel and all other neighboring villages travel by plane, four wheeler, and snow machine to come to Toksook for a week […]

almost airborne

The house is packed up. My classroom is cleaned, electronics wrapped in plastic, walls are cleared, desks are pushed to one side of the room. My computer is about to be returned and given a clean sweep (re-imaged). I need to make a trash run to the dump with all the junk I"ve accumulated in my house. All of my packed things are hopefully going out o […]

We're melting away

Alaska is a difficult place to live in for most of the year and during the winter especially, but the in between seasons are my least favorite times of the year. Fall and Spring. In the fall, the rains turn everything into mud, which gets tracked everywhere. On top of that, when it dries, it turns into dust, especially in carpeted areas. Our whole school […]

Euphoric fishing

This year has been challenging and rewarding in many ways already. I've been trying to get my feet under me in the classroom. Each new batch of 7th graders that get thrown my way try to test their new teacher by driving them crazy. This years group is trying hard, but they aren't getting anywhere. Tough love! There is always so much work to ge […]
