Mother Nature doesn’t want to cooperate with my schedule.
Arctic Fall in Pictures
Back in the arctic for another school year!
How we spent our spring break week in Anchorage.
Only have one almost spring week in Anchorage? Things to consider!
Word of the Week
Katak: (ku•tuk) verb. 1. Inupiaq word that translates to the verb fall.
Side Note: It may be for all conjugations, but the students use it with English endings if they “conjugate” it at all. “He kataked. It katak. He katak it. I katak.”
Word of the Week
Chuckerator: (chuk•ə•rādər) noun. 1. When it is so cold outside that your cunnychuck can serve as a refrigerator or freezer.
Side Note: Chuckerator is just a word used by some of my coworkers, but it often results in slushy or frozen pop and can be a good place to keep extra freezer items…if you keep an eye on the temps.
When weather prevents you from starting Spring Break away on the day you had planned…
