Moving In

A new student joined my class today, from Alaska.  I thought he'd be a little timid, but when I asked him to tell us little about himself, he came to the front of the room and proceeded to talk for 15 minutes, then answered questions.  We learned all about the geography of Juneau, the glacier, the islands close by, bear hunting, and wolves.  There aren't any moose in Juneau.  He also played on his middle school's championship football team, but they only played three games, because they couldn't find any other teams close by.  His name is DeVaun, which is French.  He has two sisters at our school.  I talked to one of the other teachers and apparently the sister in fourth grade couldn't quit talking all morning.  These kids are just happy to be in a big city where they have plenty of people to talk to.
