The author of some of my favorite poems to use in my classes. A tremendous loss.

A dog’s first time seeing snow is one of those special joys in life.

Great to be over here on Bluesky so far. Reminds me of the Twitter early days.

I’m going to attempt to use this account as a micro-blog of sorts to talk about teaching (with some nonsense mixed in).

I’m a 35 year old second year teacher in Lansing, and I’m looking forward to documenting the ride!
