We don't typically get a "mid-winter break" in my school district. However, it seems like the weather has inadvertently created just such a break.
I had plans this week, ideas to try, things we would accomplish. Instead, I have spent way more time in my pajamas than I thought I would and had a few extra boxes marked off on the to-do list.
There is a real bliss to snow days. I only hope my students are getting the same bliss I am. I have a warm home, plenty of food, water, people around me. I have everything I need.
I most likely won't see my students again until Friday, at the earliest. I have a feeling we will spend a good portion of the day talking about our snow day adventures. It should make for some really good storytelling and maybe some good story writing too.
Betsy, your line, "There is a real bliss to snow days," speaks to me. I just saw photos of Yosemite shared by ABC's senior meteorologist that visually exemplify your quote. If you have a photo of snow in your locale, i would love to showcase it with your quote at my winter gallery, Winter's Embrace.
