It's SNOWING!!!!!

Pretty much all other events of today left the children's minds when, at about 2:55 one looked out the window and gasped, "It's SNOWING!!" All eyes whipped to the window as their faces filled with joy at the....oh, about three snowflakes that fell to the ground. However, much like Tinkerbell who lives simply because the children believe, the snow continued to fall in slightly larger and larger dustings. By the time it was time to go home, it was falling at it's hardest (which really, just made the yards of the neighborhood look like they'd been given an artful shake of powdered sugar), but hey, these are Oregon kids, and three flakes of snow IS snow, and it shall not be ignored.

I am a teacher though, and while waiting with two of my kiddos for one of their big sisters to come meet them, I caught snowflakes on my glove and pointed out to the kids how you could see the 6-points of the snowflake (like we saw yesterday when we talked about snowflakes!) Ah, teaching moments. Ha!

Before that excitement the day was pretty average. I tested kids on sight words. We read more versions of the "There was an old lady" stories, and then made a chart of which was their favorite.

Then it snowed.

And really, that's the most important part anyway.

Although, I'm sorry to request this snow, but please don't stay because I'm going back to this class tomorrow and I can't have you messing that up. (Snow tells me it's not planning on it....we shall see!)
