I wasn't sure what to title this entry, but for some reason that song "Love the one you're with" keeps popping into my head. That great song that preaches making lemonade out of your lemons. The glass is half full song has always been one of my favorites.
This has been a phenomenal winter so far. The last official total snowfall number I heard was 55 inches and we've had more since then. At school the kids have had more inside recess times than outside with the cold and windchill. For the first time ever, the school decided enough is enough. We have the snow, let's embrace it. Love the one you're with. This week is Winter Fest.
Teachers were able to sign up for a number of activities that were ongoing. Snowshoeing has been a huge hit, and the physical education teacher is now talking about getting snowshoes for the school. The kids did sledding while experimenting sliding on various things including Frisbees, their bottoms and cardboard boxes. Some classes did winter animal tracking in the woods. I was lucky enough to go in today and help Noah's class of 5th graders with snow and ice sculpture with the art teacher. The kids made all kinds of animals and colored them with spray bottles of food coloring. We had a light coating of about three inches of snow last night on top of everything else, and the sun was blazing. The kids had an absolute ball.
Winter may get us all down, but it sure can be beautiful and fun..... doo doo doo..... doo doo doo.
