England, we are feeling your heatwave pain. We’re at 100, which is rare, and many of us don’t have air conditioning, like you. We have a pool, thank goodness, but it has been too hot to go outside and take a dip. Tonight we went in at 8:00 PM.

Two more days of heat to go! I hope our Fourth of July festivities don’t get cancelled. Many are already delayed until later in the day. Happy 250th, America. Stay cool.

About Jennie
I have been teaching preschool for over forty years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about.
I was a live guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show. I am highlighted in the seventh edition of Jim Trelease's million-copy bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital, and the Massachusetts State House in Boston.
Stay cool, Jennie. Happy fourth!
I have heard that some places have cancelled their fireworks due to early drought.
