It's flipping hot here (as one of my students would say).
Here's an interesting read about surface temperatures outside: Infared gun finds surface temps
We're entering the second stage of our summer this week. For the past seven weeks, I've either been teaching extended school year classes or on vacation. That's all over now.
It's time to think about next school year. It's only three weeks away. Up this week is preparing for enrollment and working enrollment. I'm dying to get my classroom put together, but since it was used this summer, it's going to be a bit. We weren't the neatest people this summer. But, oh, we had fun.
My kids are thinking about their year ahead. My high schoolers will attend school in a brand new high school. Chesney, who should finally be heading out of elementary and into middle school, gets to move to an intermediate school instead. Our district did some major moving and reconfiguring and there she goes. Next year will be junior high. Where in the heck did my babies go? Did I mention Brady is a senior? In high school?
Now it's not about the summer stretching ahead of us, but the weeks before school starts. We love them so much at my house. Buying school supplies (for everyone... I got the cutest little hanging file storage), finding the perfect first day of school outfit. Buying more contacts, last minute dentist appointments.
We love back to school. Are you thinking about it yet?
