I love winter and the snow. I love to down hill ski, and take advantage of the squeaky sound that cold snow makes as your skis glide over it.
My elementary classes are preparing to cross country ski in our fields outside our building. This will be a new experience for many of them. Don't have skis? Want to go sledding but...no sleds? Use trays or garbage bags! No garbage bags? Make
snow angels, snowmen, and sculptures!
Enjoy the winter snow! Get someone else to plow your driveway!
