South Dakota, here we come...: Posting from school...
http://boyce.blogspot.com/2008/05/posting-from-school.html
South Dakota, here we come. Living and teaching on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Thursday, May 15, 2008. Where, twenty minutes ago, a bunch of students broke out into an impromptu water fight in the hallway, throwing water balloons and dumping water bottles on top of one another. Our Principal's response: hey, that's okay. In fact, it's a good idea! Tomorrow we'll have a school-wide water fight, in which teachers are also fair game! If this is true, I will not be coming to school tomorrow, in protest.).

South Dakota, here we come. Living and teaching on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Tuesday, May 27, 2008. About two weeks ago I took off from school early- I was only going to have three students that afternoon, anyway- to drive down to Pine Ridge to see Bill Clinton speak. He spoke in Mission yesterday; I've heard rumors that Hillary will be speaking in Kyle later this week. Meanwhile, Obama hasn't made it out of the "big cities" in the east of the state.

South Dakota, here we come...: South Dakota Weather
http://boyce.blogspot.com/2008/04/south-dakota-weather.html
South Dakota, here we come. Living and teaching on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Sunday, April 27, 2008. For the past two weeks, South Dakota has been at its springtime best: every day I walk out of school with my shirtsleeves rolled up; the sun is shining; even the grass, usually dry and brown, is turning green after the snow. Camping weather, finally. So camping turned into cabining. Passing into the rocks. The hike was flat at first. Then it started to get steeper. And steeper. The other side of Harney ...

South Dakota, here we come...: 3 Weeks
http://boyce.blogspot.com/2008/04/3-weeks.html
South Dakota, here we come. Living and teaching on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Sunday, April 27, 2008. I'm realizing I've never really left behind. My roots in South Dakota feel much less permanent, though: within a year or two, all my close friends here will have picked up and moved on, too, to somewhere else. When I come out to visit next year, I imagine it will be strangely un. Like coming home. For the first time in my life I will be visiting an old. 4/28/08, 2:15 PM. Pine Ridge Project Blog.

South Dakota, here we come. Living and teaching on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Wednesday, July 30, 2008. This is the end. Tim Golden asked me a few weeks ago for my end-of-TFA thoughts. This blog has been gathering dust in the corner. You'll have to excuse me: TFA was keeping me busy in Houston all summer, and then, suddenly, things were over. I get the same questions repeatedly. Even the CMAs I talked to yesterday wanted to know: how did I like it? Makes it a little more clear. 8/4/08, 9:08 PM. Pine Rid...

South Dakota, here we come...: A Rant
http://boyce.blogspot.com/2008/05/rant.html
South Dakota, here we come. Living and teaching on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Thursday, May 08, 2008. Usually I mention all of the foibles of school in my running log, because somehow it seems more private and inaccessible. But I've gone this long without being discovered, it seems. With a week and a half of school left, I'm feeling more willing to speak openly. And I need to vent. When running these numbers, I counted only days where I had a student in class: early outs, assemblies, cancellations- thes...

South Dakota, here we come. Living and teaching on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Sunday, October 21, 2007. As if my Saturday was not anachronistic enough, in the evening I stopped over at the Long Valley Fire Hall for a little barn dance, a 45-year Anniversary Party for one of the elementary teachers at school. From Indians to cowboys: I was, on a rare occasion, just about the only male in the house not. Links to this post. The pump where Art gets his water. The trailer next door. A view out from Art's land.
