I have been thinking a lot about the sun lately because I can't decide if I love the sun or if I dislike the sun. It's great to have a beautiful day but with all of these heat waves, I have come to dread waking up to bright rays shining in my face, heating my room to an uncomfortable degree, and making me want to lie on my couch all day. The sun gives you light outside to run around and play, but it also can drain your energy.

What do YOU think about the summer sun?! Share your thoughts here by posting to our classroom blog!

I love the sun so much! It makes me think of my family and our memories at the beach. I love the beach so much! My mom says I have been to more than 15 different beaches, one of these was in Belgium where I was born.

That is awesome Ella! I think it is so cool that you were born in Belgium. Sounds like you travel a lot and I bet you have lots of great stories to tell! Can't wait to hear them all this year. If you like the beach you will LOVE our room- it is decorated in an ocean theme! Thank you so much for posting on our blog! See you August 30th!

I like it when it's sunny because I like to ride my bike,take my dog Otis for a walk and play outside with my friends and my two sister. Sometimes it's too sunny then it's uncomfortable and it makes my icecream melt.

Gabe,
You have a dog named Otis? That is awesome! What kind of dog do you have? I love dogs, they're my favorite animals. I love eating ice cream outside but you're right, it's no fun when it melts! See you soon!

Aaron,
That's so cool that you play baseball! You will have to give me a list of your game days and times- my husband and I love going to baseball games. He use to play baseball in high school. I love the beach as well! I can't wait to meet you next week!

I like the sun! Sometimes I go out and play with my brother.
I like to go and swim when it’s very hot.
I’m from Sweden and our summertime is shorter and colder.
That’s why I like summertime in York.

Linn,
I agree it is much more fun to go swimming when it is warm out then if it's cold. WOW! You are from Sweden?!That is awesome! I can't wait to hear about your culture and what it's like there. I have been to the Ukraine and that was really cool. I am so excited to meet you...Monday is coming fast!

I enjoyed the weather in San Francisco.
It was warm in the day, and cool at
night. Sometimes it was foggy in the
morning. Florida was hot all the
time.

Virginia- Did you visit San Francisco this summer? I have been there before! When I was in high school we went there on a band trip and it was really cool. I remember it being foggy too. Did you check out the Golden Gate Bridge at all? I will have to see if I can find a few pictures of me there...it was so foggy you couldn't see your hand if you held it infront of your face! I've never been to Florida so you'll have to tell me all about it next week. See you then!

I like the sun because I can play outside I like playing with my neighbors. We play games and go in the sprinkler.
I make sure I put on sunscreen before I go out because I don't like getting burnt.

I like the sun because I love to swim especially at my Grandpa's pool. I am training to be in the triathalon in the Olympics. I also like to put my sprinkler under the trampolene and jump and get wet.

Ah!! So many WONDERFUL blogs! Thank you all for taking the time to blog. Can you believe we will meet tomorrow to start a year of school together?! I am SO excited to have each of you-

Thomas- I know what you mean! I use to work at a camp and when we would play games on the soccer field it would get so hot we would need to stop a lot to get drinks.

Tyler- Very cool! I love that you enjoy so many different sports. If you play for any teams and have a list of games,I'd love to come watch! I really love going to football games in the fall (I use to be a cheerleader for Central High School).

Casey- California?! WOW that is really neat! Do you know what beach you go to or what part of California they live near?

Caleb- I really enjoyed chatting with your mom before back to school night. I love to swim and am a lifeguard over the summers. When we do our biography study we look at several athletes and I am pretty sure one is into triathalons!

Macy- It's funny that you mentioned sunscreen because I went boating yesterday with my husband and our youth group and I was driving the wave runners and tubing wearing my sunglasses all day and guess what...I got such a bad sunglass tan! I hardly ever burn but after yesterday my face looks like a lobster! I hope it gets better before Monday!

Larisa- I love water ice but I am actually not a huge fan of Ritas- only because they put chunks in it. I love food though and was very impressed that you made such a scientific reason for loving the sun! I love science and I think you might be a future scientist...we'll see! :)

See you all tomorrow! :)

I like the sun somtimes but not all the time.It's too hot to go and run around in the sun.There are bugs flying in the air but I can climb the trees.If I stay in the sun for too long my skin gets darker.

I dislike the summer sun because if you look at the sun it could blind someone and it can give you sun burn. but...if you were sunscreen and sunglasses it will help a little.
