Oh my goodness... it's hot. Really hot. Walk outside and instantly sweat hot. Glasses/Sunshades sliding off your face hot. Ishy hot. I really don't like hot weather, though I can be in it as long as there is shade (or a fan, or a pool) but TEACHING in this kind of weather wears me out!!
I mean, the buildings aren't air conditioned and when you put 20 kids and 3 adults into small room and expect them to focus and learn something... that is wishful thinking! My students are beyond wilted, and I have to say, I am no better. I have been reading a lot and having them be still (which is NOT my preference) just so they don't move around and get miserable. They've done a nice job thus far, but we'll see how the next 2.5 weeks turn out!
UGH - I don't like it when it's this hot out! Do you?
You all are still in school?! My husband grew up in Crookston, MN and always says that the weather up in the tindra is not as nice as it is in NY...but that it is way for humid.
