Let it snow, Let snow, Let it snow!



Hello to all you frozen students, staff and parents!

I never thought when we were all wishing for snow before Winter Break that SO MUCH snow would fall.  I hope all of you are drinking your Snowman Soup and enjoying the snowy weather.

Here are some pictures from my house.

I have feeding the birds.  The Lesser Goldfinches are only 4" big and need to eat a lot to stay warm.  A whole flock of them has been keeping me busy at the bird feeder.

Then, you see my Miss Bee Garden sculpture. Her angel wings are  more frosty than usual.

My daughter built this 'snow cat' the other night. It is a special one that guards you from bad spirits.  Read more about them in the picture book, A Promise is A Promise by Robert Munsch.

Have a great time this break and enjoy the snow and being with your family and friends.  
Ms. Green

PS. Don't forget to comment!  Tell me about your snow adventures.

Never let anything stop you from learning!

I just watched a Hallmark Hall of Fame program about a teacher, Mr. Bruce Cohen, who has Tourette's Syndrome.  He makes many odd noises and has many unusual movements that he can not control.  People made fun of him at school and in the community.  He did not let it stand in his way to be successful.  In fact, he said his disability taught him how to be a better teacher and person.  Tourette's taught him to keep going and never give up.

What gets in your way to being successful? 
Do you have a positive attitude or a negative one?  
What works for you?
Who is an inspiration for you?
