Miss Johnson's 2nd-grade classroom, Fall 2018 ... “Miss Johnson, Amanda is making faces at me!” “Shhh, teacher is busy right now, Billy. I’m pretty sure I saw something move behind that tree across the street.” “Squirrels like trees, teacher!” “Of course they do, … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the cabin fever edition
Come Heller high water … End, winter. Just end. Seriously, I have a bad, bad case of cabin fever, which is odd because I have neither a cabin or a temperature. This is the time of year when I wonder what the original settlers of Michigan saw in the place. Who would … [Read more...]
