Seasons

 

<><>



Most of the rain has finally passed - and we are finally over our boil water alert.  The kids are very disappointed they can no longer have "office parties" at the water coolers, but we are excited to be rid of little paper cups stuck into every nook and cranny in the classroom.  With the rain gone, we can also see the sunshine and get to view amazing sunsets daily.  Viewing is very convenient since the sun is setting around 7:00 in the evening.  Sunrises, however, cannot be seen during the school week because they aren't happening until 8:30.  Our sunshine hours get noticeably smaller every day and the sun sets a little farther in the south each day.  The seasons are changing quickly.  A month ago it was summer, and now snow is falling on all the mountaintops.  I feel like we can watch as winter quickly creeps in to make Alaska home for a while.
