113 Degrees....Welcome to LA's Fall

Fall just began and we kicked it off with 113 degrees in downtown LA and up to 118 in the valley. When I think I am amazed with LA's weather it just keeps on surprising me. Teaching in LA can be a little crazy at times. When it rains we keep the kids inside because I get we are afraid of them melting and today we had to keep them inside because of the heat. Again, I guess we are afraid of them melting. If this is what fall is going to look like I think I am taking a trip to the East Coast where kid's lunches don't melt from heat in the Fall.

Grad School

I just started my grad school classes last week and am throughly enjoying being back in the classroom as a student. I am getting my master's degree in Educational Leadership and Policy and also I will receive my Administrator's Credential. Both professors have had a lot of real life experience in education and have served as principals, worked within their district offices and one of them is currently the superintendent of Ventura County. I already feel that I learned a tremendous amount from them both. So if we decide to move up to Ventura County you will know why. ;-)

Adam is keeping busy with work and trying to enjoy the last few weekends of summer. We spent last Saturday down at the beach playing beach volleyball with our friends.

School starts next Tuesday with my 21 2nd graders!!! I will post pictures of the room soon.
