Sweet Snow Days
Posted by Amy on 04 Feb 2009 | Posted in: Holiday and Seasonal, Inspiration and Motivation, Life After School
Ah, the unexpected day off! These are the days that students live for. As a teacher I secretly loved snow days too. Even though it meant reworking the weekly lesson plans and returning to overexcited students, I enjoyed having that one treasured day to do whatever I wanted. The chance to sleep in, the opportunity to catch up on daytime TV, or (dare I say it) the chance to clean the house in solitude–it felt amazing!
Please tell me that I am not alone! Surely there are other snow-day lovers out there! Tell me how you like to spend an unexpected day off from school. Or has it been so long since you’ve had one that you don’t remember?

I LOVE snow days! Even though we have to make the time up, it’s better than dealing with cranky students! The winter months are hard for them. They want to run and play for hours, and so working all day inside (including the dreaded inside recess) doesn’t help them get the wiggles out! Besides, I like end of the year workdays/extra days with the kids to get some of that extra cleaning done for the next batch of students. Who doesn’t like to stay home where it’s warm? Three cheers for snow days!
The only thing is as teachers were have to stay till late June . Snow days are ok but if we have more than 3, the days go on in June.
