"Snow, Snow Go Away. Don't come back another day!" This song can be heard throughout my house right now! Although we have been snowed/iced in, learning has not stopped. As a family, we have utilized the online programs and increased our family reading. In addition to that, snow presents so many lessons and opportunities for learning! (So does shoveling driveways and sidewalks!)
NO SCHOOL MONDAY
