Have a Seat Please

These last few days have just been amazing in terms of weather - it's hard to keep the kids motivated and wanting to be indoors when you yourself just want to go out and play. I still like the idea of moving to Arizona to teach...although I imagine that the weather would be so tempting I'd probably never get any work done. Could I move my desk and students outside to teach? Hope so...I'm awaiting a world where we can all play and learn outside, everyday, forever! Until then we can dream and hope...It's fun that kids drain you each day, but they also fill you with the joys and memories of youth.
