Snow Day...


Welcome to winter.  It really decided to snow today. When I left for church it was hardly snowing and I thought maybe the storm wouldn’t come.  I get into RS and there are only 5 sisters in there...others were on their way out. I wondered if I should be leaving too, but I stayed. The snow had picked up and but it still didn’t look toooooo bad. When I left church the snow was falling harder, the wind was blowing and I had to go slow all the way home.  After I got home I decided I should take a picture of how far up my basement window the snow was.



Then 3 and a half hours later here are the pictures I took out the living room....



and the kitchen window view....


No blinds needed in the basement when the wind blows the snow into a drift that fills the whole window. If you miss the snow, just look at these pictures and enjoy it from a distance.

Week 1...

So I have started my second placement in a grade 1/2 split class and I am already tired. This first week went by quickly (I started last Thursday so this was my 6th day in class...) and I now know what lice looks like AND kids that throw up get to go to the office but it is truely nice to have an outdoor rink a block away from your school for skating activities! (Shoulda brought my skates...what was I thinking)

So if anyone has some great poems that would be appropriate for grade 1/2 I'm looking for some. Or a story that could be read aloud, I will need those as well.
