I've been trying to think of things that I like and could teach her, but crochet seemed too difficult. I think this will be perfect, though. It'll give her a chance to practice letter-writing, AND learn about the world, which I think is important. So many people here are either afraid of stepping out of this little bubble we live in and/or just content with it.

:D I hope she likes it! Though they see other races all the time (and have racially mixed kids in the school), kids that go to tribal school seem to live in a Choctaw-only world. I think it'd be good for her to learn about what else is out there and maybe even pique her interest in SEEING it for herself!

We only meet 1 hour a week, but I hope I'll have lots to write about soon! I am thinking that maybe I'll teach her to do something I like and maybe she can teach me something, too. Even if it's something like *gulp* basketball. O_O;

Haha, hopefully it won't be something like basketball ;) and you'll have fun! :D
