Our kindergarten class was the first to bust outside, screaming and catching snowflakes on their tongues. When the 3rd and 4th grade class saw the commotion from their window, they came next and added to the commotion on the playground. The 1st and 2nd grade teacher relented and brought her class outside. Everyone screaming, running, making snow angels, catching snow on their tongues. It’s not that the children had never seen snow before. The glee came because snow just never gets the chance to take us by surprise anymore.
Our forecast today read “windy and quite sunny:” however, the skies outside felt quite differently. Our area is generally put into panic mode at the forecast of any amount of snow. And snow is frequently in the forecast yet never appears. This morning, just after the school day began, snow made a rare surprise occurrence.

Snow is so magical! And every child needs to experience its magic. So glad you interrupted your day so your Ks could experience it.
