Never a boring day at student teaching! My area has been getting some crazy rainstorms lately that have caused some serious flooding that is unusual for us! So much rain I haven't seen the sun since Saturday, hard to believe but it's true! I think it's that darn tropical storm Lee that is dumping all this rain on poor Pennsylvania. We were notified about 10am-ish that we would be dismissing our elementary students at 1:15p because of the road conditions. My fourth day student teaching and we already have an early dismissal, in September no less! It was great because I was able to observe how a teacher deals with the unexpected, change of plans, crazy kids kinda day. After I got home, things are only getting worse in terms of the weather and road conditions. I'm so happy our district decided to dismiss our students early because there were two districts not so far from us who didn't and their students were kept there after school late into the evening until police allowed for evacuation of the students. The pictures of the flooding are insane! I've never seen anything like it in this area. The saddest thing about this however, Hershey (which is 10 minutes from me) is completely under...the scariest/most disappointing is that Zoo America (Hershey Park's Zoo) neglected to evacuate the animals before the flooding and I've seen a picture of two bison that are in flood waters up to their noses...reports said the zoo had to euthanize two bison, but they look as though they are drowning!
well, as for right now, we have a two-hour delay tomorrow morning...but who knows maybe we will be using our first snow day! Imagine that, a snow day in septemeber...
I tried to do some of the homework that I have for seminar....but I'm wayyyy to distracted tonight and can't concentrate...maybe I'll just read.
Night!
