• Weather- Last week Thursday we had a snow day. Also Wednesday school was let out early and Friday there was a two hour delay. We had about five inches of wet, heavy snow. When it was coming down it reminded me slightly of lake effect snow from home in Michigan and that got me really excited. On Friday though the snow started to melt and we had beautiful weather for Halloween. Today it’s 70 degrees outside. Katriina and I had a wonderful walk outside today to the Post Office and last week we were snowed in.
• Activities- Last week Friday the school host a masquerade Pow Wow. I think that it’s safe to say that it is one of the craziest cultural experiences that I’ve ever had. It was traditional Lakota drum music that is played at Pow Wows and the dancing was traditional but instead of wearing traditional clothes the participants were dressed in masks and crazy Halloween costumes. It was such a strange blend of the traditional and the holiday. We also had a fair number of trick or treaters for Halloween. It was really fun to see kids from my class dressed in their costumes. It was awesome to be a part of the community in that aspect.
