So last night our low was -12. Got to school this morning and the heat is not working. It works in one room in the whole building. My classroom was a balmy 42 degrees when I came in. I don't recall what the optimal learning temperature is but there have been studies done on it. I am sure that 50 degrees isn't it. I told the kids it is hard to think and learn when all you can think is "I'm COLD!". It is also hard to teach when all you can think is "I'm COLD!". Our high today was 29 degrees. It isn't worth it! Seriously! Freezing. I could hardly wait to come home for a big cup of HOT COCOA! When you are wearing your coat, hat, and gloves.. in the classroom... That is a problem.
