Are you a part of this HEAT WAVE???? It has been so H-O-T here in Cincy! We have spent a lot of our time at the gym and pool with our fabulous friends. All this heat makes me think about how unbearable it is in our classroom because I teach in an older building with NO AIR! That means when outside it is a mere 90, inside it's in the 100s. :( I try to beat the heat with several fans, but then I feel like I am screaming at my firsties.
One little trick I learned from my fellow curious teacher Karen, has only two ingredients.
1. water 2. spray bottle
Interested?
I fill a spray bottle with cold water and when my firsties come in from recess, I give them two (sometimes three)
squirts mists in the face. Be sure your spray bottle is on the right setting prior to misting your little ones. I will tell you the kids L-O-V-E this and the faces you will see are hilarious! Now, you are probably thinking, "What if someone doesn't want a mist?" Well.... all they have to do is place their little firstie hands over their face and walk on by.
So, how do you beat the heat in your classroom?
I wanted to do this with my little Gert because she is such a hot kid! Your students always seem to enjoy it so much. But my girls found a new use for it...cleaning the glass screen door. Have at it, girls!! One less thing for me to clean :)
