The Fort on Mackinac Island

After a long, cold day...some students needed a nap on the bus ride back to school. :)

Shepler's Ferry

Waiting in line at Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry to board the boat. It was a cold and rainy day!!!

A few of the adventurous students who attempted to sit on top of the boat. They made it about half way through the trip and came back down to warm up. Brrrrr!!!

Lighthouse

Checking out the downstairs in the lighthouse before heading up the long, curly staircase to see the very top. I didn't get any pictures up there but as the kids will tell you, it was AMAZING!! 

A short movie about the three major shipwrecks in the Straits. 

Magnets

One of our first days experimenting with magnets, how they attract and repel and also strength and distance with a magnet. I think this is one of the students favorite areas in science this year. :)

Tar Wars

Oops! I found some pictures from the Tar Wars Assembly we had with the 5th grade class. Students learned about the dangers of smoking and other drugs. Each class was able to participate in a competition to create a unique Tar Wars poster and anti-smoking saying. Two winners were picked between our two classes. The winners are......Gus Baldwin and Issac Kroll!!! Congratulations!!

Spring Scale Lab

This week we are working on measurement in math and science. Our spring scale lab took students around the room to measure different objects using grams, ounces and kilograms. They did a great job!
