Why Summer Isn’t That Great!

June 20, 2014 By Rachel

There isn’t anything super exciting going on in my life right now, which is why I haven’t been blogging.
I could list a million and one reasons why summer is Amazing!
Instead I will give you 5 reasons why summer isn’t that great!
And yes they are all ecards…because ecards are funny!
1.
Seriously!  
It’s like every other day! 
And razors aren’t cheap!
2.
Oh the southern humidity! 
I’m to the point where I don’t even fix my hair.
Pony tail it is!
3.
Yep…it’s hot!
Nope…I don’t need your Facebook status to tell me that!
Let me drive around for 10 minutes looking for a shady spot to park!
4.
Speaking of heat…
Why is this the first place to start sweating?!
Is it only me?
5.
Why?! Why?!
It’s almost the end of June!!
Summer….slow down!!
Hope you have an amazing weekend!
This cutie is coming to visit!

      I was thinking about getting one of those "NoNos" they advertise. Start following you. I am in SC too.

      BOOB SWEAT!!!! HAAAAAA HAAAAA! That's funny! I hate the heat (and I used to live in Palm Springs—-HOW???) so summer isn't my favorite time of the year, but as a teacher I HAVE to love summer 'cause, you know, NO SCHOOL!
      Have a fun summer! (boob sweat and all!)

      Ha! I love your take on this. Even after one of the harshest winters of the past few years {tons of people complaining about the cold on daily}, I can't help but be bothered by extreme heat! However, I won't be complaining on FB!

      OMG #1 and #4 sums up my feelings about summer! Even more this year because it is my first summer in NC where (in my opinion) it has been hot since April and I have been shaving since then to wear shorts to be cool.

      OMG, the boob sweat one just made me laugh out loud! Love it! I'm not a fan of heat and humidity, either…give me snow and sleet any day!

I only have about 10 minutes before I lose them! 🤪
And I don’t know about you but my lessons are typically longer…so I try to mix it up every 10 minutes with a Think-Pair-Share or some kind of movement

5️⃣ Think-Pair-Share - Combines the think time with turn & talk 
6️⃣ Repetition - repeat important information to help it stick

    Coming back from break is a lot easier than the fi Coming back from break is a lot easier than the first day of school!
Less teacher talk 🗣
More student talk 👥
1️⃣ Give your students time to catch up with each other. Even adults like to chit chat about what we did during break!
2️⃣ Review procedures by playing a fun game. Charades is a great way to act out procedures to see if other students can guess what they’re doing!
3️⃣ The halfway point of the school year is a great time for students to set goals!
What’s your favorite thing to do after a break?!
