The Heat is ON!

Well, those cool June days have ended and the HEAT has come with a vengeance!  It reached 96 today and, of course, I hated it!!
I had class last weekend, Poetry, and it went well.  Yesterday, Monday, my parents took off of work to help me clean out my classroom.  It still hasn't hit me yet.  I don't think it will until the day I start preparing my next classroom at another school.  It is definitely weird to see my bright, colorful room look so plain and drab.  I am so anxious to know where I will end up next school year.  I am holding out for the district to hire 29 literacy teacher positions because then all of the people will leave their current positions and I'll have a better idea of what is available.  Right now nothing is available except for some title I P.I. west-end schools that require an interview, so we'll see. 
Bean and Pope came over last night, and my parents treated all of us to Panda Express.  We enjoyed the warm summer eve eating in the backyard.  I had to go back to my classroom to organize the 6th grade books today, and had both kids with me.  It took WAY longer than I thought, so I was frustrated.  I took the kids to The Fountains afterward and we had lunch at Counter Burger with Lori & Megan and then played in the water and on the playground.   I love summer vacay with my kiddos.  I hope that I feel the same way this year teaching summer school.
