It snowed for the better part of the day today. Big fat flakes. Keep in mind I live in Houston, TX. And that the forecast for next week call for the mid 70's.
The kids couldn't believe it! They were so amazed by every aspect of it and I really made me think about how much us northerners (or Yankees as some would say) take those little wonders of the season for granted.
They couldn't wrap their little brains around how it was piling up and collecting on the ground, the roofs, and GOLLY GEE even the tops of cars!!!!! I think when it snows down here (which is rare in the 1st place) it doesn't stick. Today it did, at least for a bit.
It was fun. The parents flipped out though. By the end of the day I was down to 10 kids. Everyone else got pulled out by parents and taken home. Can you imagine if that were to happen everytime it snowed 1 to 2 inches in MI? We'd never have any students!

I can't believe you guys got that much snow! You will have to start reading a lot of books of HOW to play in snow and what to wear when it's cold out. Have you shown them pictures of Michigan when it's snowy? My kids' behavior changes 100% when there is snow on the ground. Since it comes and goes so often, they never get used to the fact that it has snowed so they are 100% terrible in the classroom. Not to mention they all come to school without jackets on and the district's policy is "inside recess when the temperature is below 34." If that was the case in MI, the kids wouldn't have recess in April!
