Today was the last day of nothing before my Inservice starts tomorrow. Corbin made egg sandwiches for breakfast. I went to school for a few hours and helped Gabrielle sort some books in her classroom.  We finished putting the bunk bed together and got Corbin's mattress from storage. Corbin made cheeseburgers and tater tots for dinner!

Our flight flew out really really early really really early for me. It was only like 730 and we stopped at two other places on the way to Kokhanok. We stopped first at Non Dalton and dropped off one new teacher and then we stopped at New Halen and dropped off two new teachers and two student teachers, and then on the flight to Kokhanok I was the only one :) the pilot flew over the river and we saw a seal and a ton of salmon like so much it was crazy! I made it to the apartment and surprise Corbin somehow I forgot to tell him I was coming in early. Luckily he was awake when we knocked on the door. We went on an hour walk to the Point it was beautiful and there are so many rocks perfect for skipping. Corbin and I spent the day unpacking and cleaning up a little bit. Corbin was at the school for a while doing a little bit of work while I am packed most of my things and he gave me a little mini tour of the school. He made macaroni and cheese with bacon bits and chicken fingers in it for lu...

This morning, one of the teachers brought me a cup of coffee!! It was so good! (I'm used to drinking my black coffee, and this had cream and sugar in it.) I had a few meetings this morning and then took an online course to learn about one of the reading interventions that the kids take, so I will be able to help out with that! This afternoon I chatted with Kimberly (my teacher that I'll be with all semester), we talked about IEPs and all things SPED. Tonight, Corbin made pizza for dinner, and then we took a Honda ride to the dump! It sounds lame to be excited about going to the dump, but it is the highest point, so you can see most of the village and a lot across the lake! It was beautiful. On the way back, Corbin taught me how to drive it, and it was fun! Also, I just found out that I passed all of my teacher certification exams so when I come back, I'll be able to teach! :)

We woke up around 8:30 had breakfast and started training at nine again after a few trainings we had lunch around noon. Around 4 PM we packed everything up and got on a plane. while we were waiting to get on the plane I beat Natalie in checkers :)  We flew from Anchorage to Port Alsworth. It was about an hour and it was perfectly clear. With no clouds at all the flight was beautiful. When we made it to Port Alsworth, we were able to walk from the airstrip to the school. It was only like a four or five minute walk which was pretty nice and on the way we could see a mountain so it was really cool to walk to the school and see a mountain on your way. All six of the student teachers were able to stay in one classroom they had cots and a couple air mattresses for us to sleep on. Rebecca drove Natalie and I on a Honda so that Natalie could bring things to her apartment. Friday night after dinner and everything we started making birch bark baskets. For Dinner they made us fresh salmon for...
