We've been in school since August 26th, so Labor Day Weekend felt a little anti-climatic. I will be happy to see the hot weather go, and welcome the cooler days of Autumn. As it is, the mornings and evenings have been cooler even if the days have been very warm, or downright hot. I'm thankful to work in a school with air conditioning! I remember the hot classrooms in my old school in the Bronx, and it was not pleasant. The heat made the students lilt, and it was hard to motivate for learning.
Now, I look forward to going to work, knowing that I'll be comfortable as I work with students and help the literacy coach set up new systems for making intervention tools available to teachers (which is something I'm excited about and is a whole other blog post!)
So, hi-ho, off to work I go in this un-back-to-school-like weather.
