At 5:40 A.M., I received a phone call, letting me know that we're having a Snow Day today! It's really more of an Ice Day. We don't have so much snow, but there is a lot of ice on the roads, making traveling treacherous. This was the poem my students read yesterday!
Snow Day
Snow day,Ten-below day,
Bundle-up-and-go day.
Pile three deep
On the old wooden sled,
Snow-crusted jackets,
Cheeks frozen red.
Scrunch, crunch, scrunch,
Boots punch holes in snow.
From three small balls,
Watch a snowman grow.
Cocoa sipping,
Cookie dipping,
One free night
Of homework skipping.
A friend’s toboggan
Is ours to borrow –
Please let there be
No school tomorrow!
