Mattusie and a few other boys were playing soccer with this sealskin ball that Susie Emudluk made. I was amazed at how bouncy it was, and the kids were "having a ball" playing with it. I walked by Mattusie and asked if I could take a picture of them with it, and they very eagerly jumped together with big smiles. I don't Mattusie a whole lot, but we have interacted in the school and on the streets enough for me to know that he is a very special kid. Full of enthusiasm, always has a joke or prank to pull but great sense of humour and very good natured. I look forward to teaching him in the next few years as he approaches secondary age.
I don't actually know the names of the other two boys. Usually I don't know many K-3 aged kids because it tends to be before they learn English. Hope you like the picture.
Theme song for the day: Go to Sleep- Coco Love Alcorn (since that's how I spent most of my day!)
