Snow Day

Yesterday was a snow day. We got at least eight inches of snow, all full of moisture and heavy. The snow pile is built up again... that will throw off everyone's predictions for when the pile will totally be gone! The rest of the week is supposed to be warm, so who knows.

A pretty typical day at school. It was a bit crunched since we didn't have class yesterday. We finished our read-aloud book, started a writing assignment in English, worked on a finding the books of the bible challenge, and had recess/MN history. 

And found a dead possum next to my classroom steps outside!!! A parent discovered it first. I thought it was an old hose. Nope it was the tail of a possum. Or some small, black rodent with a thick tail. There's been a critter living under my classroom since this summer. My guess is it wasn't able to get back in it's den with all the snow/slush/ice in the way. Gross.
