This class
of third grade students proudly show off their paintings
after reading the stories about Alaskan Artists in the
Clothesline Stories tote bag. Nine tote bags of books
with various Alaskan themes are provided to each of the
schools that are part of the TLCF Project. Not only do
these tote bags include great literature for our Alaskan
students, they come equiped with materials for hands-on
enrichment activities! These totes are designed for
students to take home for family interaction. As you can
see, they can also be used in the classroom for
literature enrichment.
Being
a dog lover, Suzi couldn't wait to read the
story entitled Andy an Alaskan Tale, by Susan
Welsh-Smith and illustrated by Rie
Munoz.
Across
from the school grounds is the mighty river
Kuskokwim with a lonely boat sitting on the bank
of the freezing river.
After
reading and talking about the variuos books
inside of tote #1, the students begin an
enrichment activity. There are paints provided
for the same activity to take place at
home.
Like
many schools within the Delta Region,
Ackiachak's Elementary school population has
grown so much that they must use portable
building structures to house all of their
classes. These buildings are connected by
boardwalks.
And
here's Chery ... Well her backside for she is
busy showing a class of 4th grade students how
to use the Drawing application in
Appleworks.
One
of the many walkways in the village. Along side
of it is a piped water line. Not every one is on
piped water but hopefully this will
change.
Important!
And like all rural villages, they have a VPO or
a VPSO. Whichever, the Village Police Officer or
the Village Public Safety Officer inforces the
law!
Yes,
they even have their own fire
truck!
What ever
works when it comes to technology in the
bush!
Mardell, this one's
for you!
Just about every
school I visit displays pictures of their elders. What a
wonderful showing of respect!
