Sea Week

Spending the night in a schoolroom, we awoke Wednesday with a day full of presentations ahead of us. It was Sea Week in Nanwalek, when the school has a week full of ocean-themed lessons. Andrew and I were due to present physical oceanography lessons to all of the grade levels, K-12. The school has the students divided into four age groups: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. All of the students were very polite and interested in what we had to tell them. In fact, I can’t say enough about how special everyone is in Nanwalek. The entire village is always super helpful and just the nicest people in the world. You can’t pass someone without them smiling and saying hello and asking if you need help transporting your gear. After the school day ended, we returned to Homer to spend the night and prepare for our next day of work.
