Almost Back to School

Summer isn't over yet; we still have until the autumnal equinox, a few more weeks, for summer to be truly complete.  Despite that, we start back to school in only a few short days.  I hope that everyone takes advantage of that time to enjoy carefree days and sunshine.  I, myself, couldn't stay away from the beach yesterday and relished the feel of the cold water (but not impossibly cold) of the north Atlantic Ocean.

I have been working in our classroom to get things ready for everyone.  There are still a few finishing touches that need to be done, but for the most part, I think that things are coming together nicely.  I am excited to start off another new year and am looking forward to the many ideas we'll discover and explore together. 

The Tri-Town Council sends me an "Asset Tip of the Week" which I just finished watching.  "Kid President" makes motivating and smile-worthy short videos to get everyone excited about teaching and learning.  Try this one found on YouTube:

Have a happy and healthy Labor Day weekend.
