Maybe...
Last week when there was talk of snow, I honestly was sad. This may seem weird and maybe it's because I don't have any children of my own, but when they said it might snow over Thanksgiving Break, I was a little disappointed. There's something about experiencing the first winter snow with the class. I stop whatever we are doing and we go over to the window and just take it all in. And after about thirty seconds to a minute, we are back to our learning...but standing there watching the snowflakes come down with them is just another bonding experience I get to have with the class. And knowing that there's a small chance for flurries tomorrow, I look forward to standing there again with a new group of second graders.

We always run outside and take it all in. We then come inside and write all about the snow using descriptive words. When I taught 5th grade the kids were so surprised that a teacher would just drop everything and let the kids run outside and catch snow flakes with their tongues. I remember the great descriptive words they used to describe the snow.
I love experiencing the first snow of the season with my 1st graders. (And I do have kids of my own)
This is something I do with my class. Fifth graders love to have those "little kid" moments. It is one of my favorite things to do with them as well. This post made me smile.
