Wow, that's quite a relief. I met all but 2 of my students during my first day of teaching and I got all of my pre-teaching jitters out. I spent each period talking about our class rules while having them work through different classroom procedures with me, and there weren't any behavior issues at all! I also shared stories about eating disgusting halibut tacos for breakfast because of my brother Riley and the time my friend John put the wrong type of detergent in the dishwasher. I'm going to use a lot of stories from Washington in my teaching to let the students get to know me, and to (hopefully) keep me from getting homesick. I'll stop talking about the first day though, because I know all of my teacher friends back in Washington are thinking, "Shut up! I don't start for 2 weeks!" Muwhahahahaha!
Time to start the real planning though, all the math those students can handle. YES! Here's the pictures I took from Anchorage. My box came today! Woo!
Frontier-style shopping. Notice how I'm acting like the cart is a deer.
Close up of $600 worth of food and supplies. Only $140 shipping for over 250 lbs.
A very beautiful bull moose hanging out in somebody's backyard. I was about 10 feet away when I took the picture. Wooh!
A cow moose with twin calves! Hanging out along the highway of Eagle River, just outside of Anchorage.
Glaciers and mountains during the flight to Nome.
My last view of Mt. Rainier for a while.

Hello Jess:
I hope your feeling better. This is a nice blog and I love the pictures you've posted on this site. So there are actually trees there? Or was it around Anchorage where the moose were hanging out amongst the Pine trees and brush? Have a good day!
