Thank You, Weather
Well, I must say that the weather was very cooperative today, as this was the day that we started talking about Fall. (Are seasons capitalized? I always forget.) You kind of hate to start off your fall/Fall unit by saying things like, "Wipe the sweat from your brows, children - we're going to talk about Fall now." In general, it's hard to convince them that this is the season when the temperature drops and we start wearing jackets when there is no evidence of this whatsoever.
However, today was a pleasant high-of-77-degrees day, which was perfect. So, not only did some come in long sleeves and sweaters, it even rained last night. To top it all off, we even got to add a "cloudy" day to our long, long list of "sunny and hot" weather days. Which was a rare day indeed.
Thanks, weather.
