Christmas break is over, it's time to hit the ground running and get things done! That's what it felt like when we got back from break, anyway. All of the teachers came into the village on the 31st of December to enjoy the New Year beginning in our quaint little village. There were fireworks on the river, which were beautiful to watch, but by this time we were all so exhausted from all of our traveling that we went straight to bed afterwards!
School started up again on the third of the year which means we were able to see all of our students' bright shining faces again. Most of them had a great break. Unfortunately for them, the quarter wasn't over yet, so we picked up on work right away, trying to get as much done before the quarter was over.
It was also the warmest week in a long time. We got more snow, although it was more like rain than snow. However, it was very fun to play in. We took the snow machines out and slid behind it in tote boxes. It was a lot of fun, but it was a lot of work too. You had to hold on really tight, and it my back is still a little bit sore from it. We had a great time playing all evening.
Another fun thing that we did was lessons on how to drive snow machines. They are super easy to drive and a lot of fun as well. I didn't drive for very long, or go very fast, but I can tel why people like them so much. Another teacher was also learning to drive her brand new snow machine. Her machine is a two up, so it was a little different than the one I was driving, but ultimately the same idea. We both had a good time.
A few days later we went outside and built a snowman, a couch, and the bottom part of an igloo. It was so much fun! The part of the igloo that we did build is very solid and keeps the inside quite warm. The couch was for the babies, but I took advantage of the nice comfortable seat in the snow. We also buried one of the other teacher's in the snow. The babies sure had a lot of fun with that one! They threw the snow right in his face! They had a very good time playing in the snow. We taught one of them how to have a snowball fight. Oh, he sure loved that new game!
