First Day


Today was the first day of school on Mackinac Island. I'm starting this year with eight students - two sixth graders, and six fifth graders. I had all of these students last year as fourth and fifth graders, so hopefully we'll hit the ground running and have an amazing year. 

I still can't believe this is my thirty-second first day of school! It just doesn't seem like I started teaching that long ago. This first day certainly was one for the record books because we had no power!


A squirrel knocked out the electricity for over 2,800 people in Mackinac and Chippewa counties, including ALL of Mackinac Island. Luckily, two full walls in my classroom are windows, so my students and I just rolled with it.
