A Hot First Day

Great first day, except for the heat. The sweat started as I carried a new fan (bought at Target yesterday for $24.99, my 3rd classroom fan I've purchased for my room... ironically, I hate fans while teaching) and didn't stop until I left the school. Felt like I was going to pass out at times. This is probably the most intensive day for teachers -- all focus is on you, and you're talking all the time -- and I earned that sweat.

Seems like a lot of great kids.

We brought the post-first day happy hour (& pizza) to Ledo's Pizza, the location of the former favorite Rocky Run. Love the new place. The serves are great.

Putting finishing touches on summer reading quizzes now... hope tomorrow it gets a little cooler.
