Today was Crazy Chair Day. Ms. Stern would say “Crazy Chairs” and everyone would pick up their stuff and move to another seat or table. The rules were no running and only 6 people could sit at one table. Unfortunately, lots of people were fooling around and talking instead of getting their work done.

Because it was so hot today, we had a no hugging rule. Instead of giving regular hugs, we used our pointer fingers and touched them to the person/people we wanted to hug. It was so hot that we didn’t even have outdoor recess today! Ms. Stern turned on the two ceiling fans and two box fans but unfortunately they didn’t do much to keep us from getting sweaty! We did lots of things to try to stay cool. Ms. Stern sprayed us with cold water throughout the day. During snack, we watched a video on the rug. Ms. Foster let us use her room (because it has air conditioning) for a little while after snack this morning. Ms. Stern read more of The BFG. After that, we came back to the class and had ice pops as a cold treat. We made sure to drink lots of water. After P.E., we went across the hall to Mrs. Caverzasi’s class to do independent reading because she also has an air conditioner. Because hot weather is expected again tomorrow, we’re going to have an early dismissal at 11:00!

Stay cool!
