Winding Down

I can't believe it is my last week here in Levelock, Alaska!  The last 2 months have just flown by.  All my students have really been working hard to get ready for their state tests.  Tomorrow we begin the true test to see all that hardwork pay off.  I can't wait to hear how well they did because I know they will do great!  The math teacher here, Mr. B, has made a pac with the elementary girls.  If they all get advanced on their math test they can shave his head!  This of course won't happen until next year since the results come out toward the end of May when school is out but the girls are stoked!  I have faith that they can do it and I can't wait to see pictures from the even in August  =)   My last few days here will consist of proctoring the state tests to my elementary girls and packing up my life from the last two months.  I can't believe how hard it is to pack up even though I'm super excited to get home and see my family and friends.  Unfortantley I will not get to send off with the big bang party I was hoping to have with the kids before I left.  We did have some really bad student behavior last week and the students have lost most of their privleges until some confessions are made.  I am still making a treat for them but its a little more somber than I was hoping for.  Oh well onto the boring days of sitting and reading while the kids test away, since I'm not allowed to help them anymore.  Anyone who knows me is saying "WHAT", I love to read so of course thats not boring.  I'll post again soon, can't wait to fly home Saturday night!!
