I went to go see Mamma Mia! last night with 3 other teachers. I think the Nome theather has the right idea. They are located in a Subway and you can have your food delivered to your seat during the movie. The seats are like any other theater and way nicer than the Safari!
School today was good. There are lots of kids gone this week Moose hunting. My 5th hour class has half of the kids gone this week. The families that hunt will use this meat as their main source of protein for the upcoming year.
Tomorrow we get to pick up our Full Circle Farms box. They are a competely organic farm out of Washington state that sends either a small, medium or large box of produce. It is all stuff that is in season, and when we priced it out, signifacantly cheaper than the produce we can buy here in town. We are getting a small box this week, but in two weeks we will get a big box and split it between Caleb and Sarah, Maylie and her husband John, and Andrew and I. Lots of the teachers at school get the boxes and they say it's really nice to get the produce you can't buy in Nome.
Hope everyone had a great 1st day back to school and that the heat and wind have died down! I can't imagine many things that smell worse than a classroom full of sweaty kids (especially if they just came back from gym class!)

Sounds like a great theater. Down here in the lower 48 the big thing is the Mama Mia Sing-Along version. Will they let you sing your favorite Abba song up there in the Nome Theatre or would that be too dangerous during Moose hunting season?
And wait 'till those kids get back! No apples for the teacher for you guys. You'll probably find a big juicy moose steak plopped on your desk some morning! That'd be worth an A.
Keep writing. Lots of teachers here at KL are following your escapades and tell me how much they're enjoying it.

In some of the school districts in northeastern Pennsylvania so many kids miss the first day of deer season that it is a school holiday...maybe Nome should follow suit re: moose!
I am curious about the teachers. Are many of them Alaskans or are most of them transplant from other places?
I am really enjoying your blog...so nice of you to share your experiences with those of us in the lower 48. Thanks.
