There are lots of kids gone today. It has been this way for the past several days. Five of the students left on Monday for a dance gathering in Nightmute. Many of the other ones are not here. Many of the ones that have showed up this morning are my hard-core goofs. It many of them have only been showing up for the morning sessions lately. It looks to be an interesting day.
We saw the proverbial first robin of spring last evening. We were out walking the new boardwalk, because it has just plain gotten too nice to get exercise inside anymore. We missed the bald eagle, however, because it was on the other side of town. There were, of course, photos on Facebook. Bird news continues to dominate the daily headlines, as many of the migratory species continue to return from their winter domiciles. Geese and ducks seem to be of the most interest, as they become a dietary staple very soon, and it seems that almost every classroom will have at least one child for whom the call of the goose becomes a standard form of expression. They are pretty good, too...
The junior high elves have departed to visit an elder's house for their Yup'ik class, so peace will reign for the next thirty minutes or so in this space. The interesting part of the day will commence when they return...
