Hot is the word this summer.
How to stay cool?
Eat dinner in the pool!

What a great way to spend time with neighbors.
The kids and I ate our pizza in the pool.
The other adults did not. Crazy.
They had no idea what they were missing.

Even Gloria had some time in the pool
to cool down, riding on a raft
with a good friend.

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.
Thank heaven for pools. I read in the pool and sometimes even write.
Good for you!!
Looks like a good idea to me, and Gloria seems to approve.
I thought so, too. And so did Gloria.
Kids always know best 🙂💙
They do!
Pizza in the pool? Sounds like perfection! 😜❤️😜
It was!
Yum! 😋
😍
Sounds like a great idea to me!
The best! 😀
I would!
Hooray!
It looks like Gloria had a good time.
She did!
I love it! How would we survive summer without pools?
Exactly, especially when there is no AC.
Then you definitely need to eat dinner in that pool!😊
True!
Yum! And hurrah that Gloria is not too scared of water!
Yes!! Best to you, Will.
If I had a pool like that, I would be eating dinner in it too. Gloria looks happy to be on the raft too.
Best wishes, Pete.
She was very happy. It’s the stairs that make the difference, and make dinner work.
Great pictures. I don’t even own a suit anymore, Jennie–you look cool and comfy.
Thanks, Jacqui! I was!
What fun!! Even better that Gloria got to join in!
Definitely! Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Jennie!
Brilliant! Great photo of you and the kids in the pool, Jennie!
Thanks so much, Wynne!
Somehow, I just knew Gloria was gonna find her way into that pool as well, Jennie. I vote for pizza in the pool any day!
You know her well, Bruce! Pizza in the pool is definitely the way to beat the heat!
I love you the way you bring such delight to others in the world around you!
That’s so nice. Thank you!
Gloria needs a bathing suit in this weather. That black has got to be a steamer.
John, you make a good point. I need to go bathing suit shopping for her. It’s on my list!
I also think the Children would love to make her an outfit when they come back to school. Maybe a Halloween costume or Thanksgiving or even a holiday frock.
You’re on a roll! She has a Halloween shirt, and since I don’t introduce her till early October, I think the shirt is enough. But, after that, the children could definitely make her something for the holidays, and then for winter. Stay tuned!
😊
What fun! I’d be right there in three more weeks with the Dr.’s permission!
Yes!!!
Pizza and swimming—two of my favorites.
Looks refreshing. I haven’t had pizza in a long time. I think I’ll go against doc’s orders and have some. I wonder if the Y will allow me to eat it in their pool. Hmmmm…
this sounds like such a great day!
Wonderful idea.👏
Good that u guys are eating in the pool. Can imagine how hot it must be Jennie ❤️
so glad Gloria had pool time too – and stay cool – all of you!
Thanks, Yvette! Will do.
Stay cool, Jennie. We’ve got a hosepipe ban now.
What is a hosepipe ban? Like a ban on watering?
No, it’s a ban on using hosepipes for watering. We haven’t had any rain for over a month.
Ah!
I love it! And if I were there I’d join you! 🥰
I know you would! 😀
🥰
That’s a great way to cool off!
It is! 😀
Eating in the pool sounds like a grand idea to me.
The best!
