Snow – Winter is Coming
We woke up to 5 inches of snow this morning and wondered if school would be delayed. However, when the grandchildren checked (we live in a three generation household), it was school as usual for them and substitute teaching for me.
The youngsters in the classes I taught were excited by this actual snowfall since we’d only had flurries before here in New Hampshire.
They made tracks on the playground, talked of snowmen they’d make at home, thought of upcoming holidays, mentioned that there would be snow on the ski slopes, and reveled in the excitement of something different in their day.
What types of snow activities does your family participate in throughout the winter? (That’s assuming you live in snow country or a hemisphere that’s experiencing winter.)
- Sledding
- Ice skating
- Skiing
- Snow boarding
- Cross-country skiing
- Making snow ice cream
- Snowshoeing
- Looking for animal tracks in the snow
- Making snowmen
- Drawing snowy pictures
- Making paper snowflakes
- Studying about snowflakes
- Reading beside a fireplace and watching it snow outside
- Baking gingerbread cookies that look like snowmen
