I love September. I could easily stop there, but allow me to indulge you for a moment. The air is different -- fresh, crisp, cool, with just enough warmth to not need a sweatshirt yet. It's my daughter's birthday month -- so she will expect a countdown to her special day for weeks in advance, but it's done with love and equal anticipation. Football is officially in full swing -- enough said! As a football wife, fortunately, I love the sport, so I welcome the Friday night lights and constant college games airing on our TV like a revolving door. Hearing the crowds and sports anchors in the background has become second nature ;)
On a school note, I am loving September because we are beginning to dive deeper into Science! YES! The students have been anxiously awaiting to get to lab activities and we finally made it! Our first lab focused on water cohesion and surface tension. They worked well together in their groups at lab stations and everyone was able to play a valuable role. Personally, I believe there is more learning occurring when "doing" science rather than just reading about it, so I hope our team can keep up the good work and enjoy the privilege of doing more activities throughout the year.
I hope you and your families enjoy the long weekend and have an opportunity to rest, play, and enjoy time together!
