Snow days

Its the end of the 4th week of January and we finally had our first full week of school since Christmas! Not long after our first dusting of snow, we got a doozie of a snowstorm. Two days after MLK Jr holiday, it snowed ALL DAY LONG! During the day as it was still snowing, we went outside to play in the snow. We finally built a big tall snowman and my favorite part was throwing myself into the 7" deep snow! Luckily we got so much snow, that school was cancelled the rest of the week; even one of our snow make-up days on Saturday was cancelled! Also, the snow doesn't melt that fast at our house, so we got to play in it, even when the weather got warm outside. It was so warm by the end of the weekend, we walked down the greenway and stopped under the bridge to play in the sand - not even wearing coats!
At school this week, I took in a bag of items for an All About Me presentation. I presented pictures of my family, me when I was a baby, me playing with my favorite thing to do (building Duple blocks at the moment) and I showed the class one of my favorite toys (my orca whale) and my favorite food (honey-nut cheerios). Aside from almost missing the bus one morning, it was a great week back at school although I kind of wish that I didn't have to go to school to learn. I think people should be born knowing everything so they don't have to learn!
