I adore my students - both of them*; they are joyful, positive and hardworking. Every day I am grateful I get to work with them.
And now that it's after Christmas, I can share what each of them made to give to their mother. These two hand-sewed each and every stitch in their project. They worked so hard, and were so proud of their finished snowmen.
* All of the elementary classrooms on Mackinac Island are splits. Usually, I have a combined fifth and sixth grade class of anywhere from four to 10 students. (My largest class ever was 19.) This year there are no sixth graders, so I have a class of two fifth graders. That will make for an interesting year, next year, on the high school end of our school. This year we will graduate 11 students, and with no new seventh grades entering that end of the school next year, our high school population will drop, significantly, for the next few years.
Funny the different issues. My DD's HS has 6500 students 9-12. This year they have 1500 in virtual for the entire year and the rest of us are 'Safe Start'. My graduating class was 168.
