3 months in the north

 Hello all

A magnificent day here in Kangirsuk--about 0 degrees with no wind, a blue, blue sky and amazing sunshine!!  Just the kind of weather that is perfect for sight seeing and walking!    The news from the clinic is not so good, in 12 short days we have gone from one diagnosis of covid to  63.  Word on the street is that the school will close until January, and we will be sent home--stay tuned.

The principal has a terrific dog that has been giving me therapy to help me get through this--we enjoy long walks together.  Yesterday, this sweet little black puppy followed us.  He was so cute--but obviously abandoned--a lot of that here.  Many local people want to start an SPCA group to deal with the many homeless dogs and cats.    Construction people come, feed the babies and then they leave.  These poor animals just disappear into the hinterland.

For the past few days, I have found some really neat art projects, so I have been "arting" up a storm.  I hope I get to use some of these ideas.  I had a terrific collection of Halloween art, and some great videos, but only I got to see them.  The art projects are taped to my  window so that others can enjoy them!!

Hoping you all have an amazing Halloween weekend!!  I used to love Halloween in China.  I would have a horrid mask, hide behind the computer station, and then, without  any word, I would jump up and roar at the students--they were always so surprised!  I won't get to do that here!!

We are not allowed to even go the homes of the kids to give out treats!!    I  bought over $100  worth of candy for the occasion since it is so big here--I gave it to the principal and asked her to deal with it.

I have a new student in China.  Some of you will remember my friend, Tall Chen--I will start his 5 year old later this evening.  We are exactly 12 hours behind Fuzhou, so I don't have the issue of the wild hours.  I also have kept Ryan, and I meet him Friday morning and Saturday night.  It is really fun keeping up with them and all of the good people over there.


What a cutie!!


Ulysses after our 2 hour walk--got to love that cushion--Let's stay home!!!

Yes, "arting it up"

    Looks so beautiful up there! I sure hope you get to use your artwork in some way for the students. Hopefully you won’t be sent home as those little ones will miss a big opportunity learning from you. Stay healthy!

End of the first week back

 Greetings all...... I can hardly believe it is the end of the first week back--although it is the second full week including travel.   The students were a little tired and out of sorts on Monday morning,  showing me the attituded--we got through that one by 11:30, and things are back on track....holiday is over, queen Helene, queen of mean is back!!! Weather has been interesting.  Monday evening was a blizzard, and what a storm!  100k  plus winds howling and snow blowing.  By Tuesday morning, it was over, so classes were not cancelled (awe!) We got the big wind on Wednesday as well, but we still went in. Temperatures hovering between minus 20 and  minus 50.  It is so cold, the water pump at the water plant is frozen. That means no water--so what we have is what we have! The school had a parade today to bring awareness of the importance of sobriety.  Each student made a poster, and this afternoon we paraded around the village ( minus 40).  The firetruck led the way, with kids and their

Week 2, Ivujivik

 Greetings all Well, I have survived the transition--was a little bumpy with one child, but I think we are well on our way to working together.  I must say the students here are really lovely, polite, and hard working.  The school is working on respect.  Everytime someone does something nice, that class gets a kind of sticker.  Which ever class collects the most stickers within a 2 week time frame, gets a prize--like a pizza lunch.  While my class was in gym, 3 secondary students showed up at the door and asked if they could help--I put them to work.  They left, with their stickers--and no sooner had they gone when 3 more turned up!!  I gave them more jobs, and they left with their stickers!!  Quite different from the last 2 years. At 3:45, we were all invited to the gym.  The purpose was to celebrate the super admin leaders.  The staff prepared beautiful snacks, and food, and they also had purchased to lovely tee shirts saying super admin, which we all signed.  Now that is a first for

 Hello friends....... Not much to report this week.  It has been darn cold.  The thermometer reads minus 29, 30 or whatever, but the wind chill pumps it up to over minus 50.  The school closed Thursday afternoon because of the cold.  The school bus couldn't run,  Honda ATV's wouldn't start, and snow mobile treads were freezing. This makes for treacherous walking as the roads are hard packed snow, turned to ice.  One must stick to the sides, where there is some snow for boots to grip on to.  At Christmas, I bought a pair of boots in Montreal, with retractable spikes--they work pretty well, but it is still slippery.  I use my walking sticks, and I don't move quickly!!  I walk everywhere, including to the coop, Saturday mornings for groceries, so I am well aware of the walking hazards.  It was interesting walking there today, about 2 k.  A very nice, big orange truck stopped to pick me up--the guy said hello, I'm the fire chief, I said, hello, I'm the grade 3 Engli
