I know that I have commented on the weather in other submissions to this blog. Today is November 1st, and the high today reached 18 degrees Celsius. It was a beautiful day with sunshine and some cloud.
Certainly usual for this time of year. The fall this year has been remarkable. Similar to this summer, absolutely amazing! There is no denying that the environment does affect our mood. I think I noticed people in general to be more pleasant this past summer and th emood of the students at school this fall has been better. Is this due to the weather? Perhaps indeed it does play a role. The classroom environment is one that maximizes the potential for learning. If your classroom is organized and fairly clean and you have colour posters attached to walls and you play recorded music or arrange activities that allow the space to be utilized safely, wow, what a great place to learn! We do get better results when we feel good and the weather establishes and encourages a better mood. So, get outside and make music, walk, see and feel the warmth of a beautiful fall day. When you return inside, you may be a slight bit better as the residue of the outside environment stays alive inside your mind, your heart, your soul!
Bye for now, going outside to listen to the sounds of fall.
