Whats Happenin' at
School?
 
Richard Olsen's Classes
In Richard's high school Language Arts class the
students are completing their reading of the book, "The White Dawn" by James
Houston. It is an Eskimo saga which tells a story about the first contact with
western civilization in N.E. Canada.
His group of junior high students are reading
short stories in Language Arts. They just completed "Dog Song," a
story about an Eskimo boy who is tested by a bad storm and learns to
trust his dog team to take him back to his village.
In Wood Shop, the high school students are working
on individual projects. The junior high students have been carving
spoons.
Nick's Bilingual
Classes
Nick's high school students are learning the
Yup'ik names of the settlements in the Southwest Alaska Region. These
include the villages of the Yukon River from Anvik to Alakanak, the
coastal villages from Unalakleet to Kongiganak, the Kuskokwim River
villages, the villages on the "Tundra," and those in the Bristol Bay
area.
They also made a plan of a new village called "Nuuksuk." They
first drew a map and showed how the village would look, then they discussed
the kinds of
rules they would have in the
village.
The other subjects covered this quarter were:
types of clothing, animals we trap, and tools. The students first
learned the Yup'ik names of the objects, then used the vocabulary in
sentences. They also did activities pertaining to basic listening,
speaking, reading and writing in Yup'ik.
The class also went out fishing for fall chum and
cohos for the school lunch program. The students enjoyed fishing with
Vernon Evan, Nick Duny, Victor Shorty and myself. They went on two
fishing trips, then put the fish in the walkin freezer.
Nick's elementary students are working on a Yupik
clothing unit and other units that are the same as the high
school.
Guy's Classes
Guy Sandlin is a grade 7-12 teacher. He teaches
three math classes, science, human biology and health, and a
geography class.
His three math classes are 7th grade arithmetic,
8th grade arithmetic, and pre-algebra. The 7th grade students are
learning to write numbers in scientific notation and to convert them
back to standard form. The 8th graders are learning about rounding
off numbers and using rounded numbers to do mental math in
everyday-type situations. The pre-algebra class (high school
students) is studying decimal expressions both in arithmetic and
algebraic settings.
Guy's science class, which is made up of the 7th
and 8th grade students, is studying tectonic plates and the theory of
continental drift.
The human biology and health class, which is made
up of high school students, is learning about social health. They are
presently studying how to be a good friend and how to establish
lasting and productive friendships.
The 7th and 8th grade geography class is producing "pictures" of
four scenes observed in the village. They are reproducing, from memory, the
scene and a
discription of the areas.
They are also observing how it relates to other parts of the village
as far as infastructure, topography and economy are
concerned.
