Today we are anticipating a snow day for tomorrow. The snow definitely has the students all excited. It brings me back to when I was a kid, hoping for a snow day, thrilled at the chance to play outside in the winter fluff. It really is magical.
It's a shame we don't let the students play in the snow at recess. Their time outside becomes more and more limited. Sure a below freezing day may be too much. Rain, I get. But playing in the snow is a magical moment. There is something unique and childlike about twirling in the white flakes, catching one on your tongue and having a good-natured snow fight. What happened to sledding on the plow hills and building forts? With my post yesterday about influenza, I don't think it is any wonder this country girl is encouraging my two older girls to play outside for a bit when we get home. Homework time can wait tonight. Magic cannot.
