Staying Cool In The Pool

Since it has been so hot this summer, we have been trying to find activities that are fun and keep us cool. There is a great pool not to far away in the town I used to teach in (we used to have community schools instead of the one large school we have now). It is great because I know a lot of the people and they love to see Logan and Madison. We went there twice this summer and had a great time. They have a kiddie pool and a large pool and Logan likes both, so it is always a fun day.

I had a great first week of school, but it really kicked my butt. Hopefully I will settle into the school routine soon. I am going to spend a lot of time today catching up on things at home that I didn't get done this week because I was wiped out. I have an interesting class this year with a few challenges but nothing that I can't handle. I love being back with all of my wonderful co-workers. On our first day back it was like a family reunion, with everyone catching up on what went on over the summer. We always got great news yesterday that our school district was rated EXCELLENT. In Ohio we have a school rating system and based on student achievement and other factors, so this was wonderful news for our district. We all work very hard each year to reach this status. I can't wait to see what this school year has in store.

NOTE- The first two pictures were taken when Logan I went on our first visit and it was a beautiful sunny day. The second two pictures were taken on out second visit with Madison, it was cloudy and ended up storming.
