Yesterday was our first day of school. Besides a few meetings in brutally hot rooms, I did manage to get some work done in my classroom. I wish I had more time to be fully prepared but I’m happy with the progress I made.
Thankfully we have a few days off before school gets into full swing. My suggestion to students is to slowly transition back to your normal sleeping habits. Otherwise you’ll be up all night before school and when your alarm sounds you won’t be a happy camper at all. It happens to me every year. I’m used to sleeping late and bam! the alarm sounds at 5. UGH!!!
I finished off the summer with some light reading: Baseball Brainteasers. Elizabeth, you and your dad would probably enjoy challenging each other’s rules knowledge with this one. I’ll bring it to school eventually. If any of my new students are interested in borrowing this book, I always have a library of books in the back of my room (mostly baseball and history) that you can borrow at any time.

Enjoy the rest of your vacation and be safe with the bad weather we are possibly going to get the next day or so.
