After practicum at Gillam School, I drove to Dauphin, unpacked the truck, packed my backpack, took the bus to Winnipeg, and flew to Gods Lake Narrows, MB to start my new job as science/math teacher at Gods Lake First Nation School.
Gods Lake Narrows is a community about 550 km NE of Winnipeg located on a granite constriction in the middle of Gods Lake. It is a remote community with daily flights from/to Winnipeg and Thompson and a winter road to Thompson.
Gods Lake School is a K-9 school, with about 350 students and 20 teachers. It used to be a K-12 school with Frontier School Division, but became locally controlled around 1994. The school is situated on a granite rise overlooking the east side of the narrows.

My room is the science room. The science room is in the middle of the school. It is a large room with vaulted ceilings. There is lots of counter space, one side with sinks. We now have one tap working, although several sinks are hooked up. This spring, I have put in an interactive white board and computer lab in the room. It is slowly becoming a real science room.
