Snow Day Memories!

1/25/2018

   Watch the video above that a teacher has made about how she feels about snow days. I found this video so entertaining, what a fun teacher she must be. Snow days are the neatest thing for teachers because it’s one of those things that you don’t lose as you grow up. Teachers and students love snow days the same way. They’re a freebie day, one that you don’t expect and then when they come, they’re totally yours.
   For your blog post this week, I’d like you to write about the best snow day that you can remember. Remember, when you write a retell, it’s all about capturing the day by using descriptive words and bringing the reader into the experience with you. I will start with my example.
   I woke up early, thinking, yes, there’s definitely a chance. I rushed to the window and excitedly pulled back the curtain. “Jacey, wake up!!! SNOW DAY!!!”. She didn’t move so I picked up the iPad and check the website, it was real, a real snow day!” I knew that I would make the most of this day with both Jacey and Vera. We called up our other teacher friends and after a gruelling hour of shovelling, met up with them for a snowy walk downtown. As we all got hot chocolates and coffee at the shop, Vera fell fast asleep in the coffee shop. After taking her picture, I realized, snow days are family days now!

My favorite snow day went a bit like this...

"Ahhh!"
"It's on fire!"
"What do we do?!?"
"The firefighters are coming don't worry!"
I ran to the edge of the burning building, fire was all around and I had no escape. With one final breath, I jumped!

"Eeek!" I shrieked. I looked around. I was in my dark room. The only thing that allowed you to see was the pink flower nightlight. Ginger looked up at me and licked my hand. She curled up on my bed and fell back asleep. I got out of bed and my feet touched the cold wooden door. Trying to touch as little ground as possible, I hopped to the window.
I pulled the curtains open and sunlight streamed through the window.
"Ahh! The sun!" I said and shut the window's curtains again. I blinked for a second and then pulled the curtains open again. The snow was piled up and it looked 3 feet high!
The sun was working its magic and the snow was already melting away, turning into water that wasn't any warmer than the snow.
"Global warming sucks," I muttered. Then I realized that my parents and brother were already outside shoveling snow. I changed out of my P.J's and got my coat, hat and mittens on. I grasped my tiny, red shovel that was perfect for my size and helped shovel the snow. We tossed the snow to the side and my brother and I went inside. My parents started the car and drove off to work.
"Bye!" I called as I opened the glass door so they could hear me.
I hadn't been out there too long so I wasn't too cold, but my brother was freezing. I made some hot chocolate for the two of us.
After we drank it, the two of us curled up in the living room with Ginger, reading and playing with her.

I remember my snow day a little like this....

I’m walking down the stairs tiredly thinking there was school.
“Ugh” Then I look out the window and there is like 3 feet of snow.
I wasn’t informed there was a snow day by my parents. And then I checked their phones until I find an email that says there’s no school!
“Hooray!” I wake up my sister and she’s trying to hide in the covers “Anto it’s a snow day!!” She just ignores me when I say that. I watch some spongebob reruns on the TV for hours and then drink hot cocoa with my family by the fireplace at night. I go to sleep and I’m crossing my fingers that it will snow heavily the next day....

I wake up very early covering my eyes with my blanket to not see the light between the gap in my curtains. “School” I say to myself. I make my bed and get dressed get my school stuff in my bag and I’m good to go. No one was even awake so I thought maybe I mistakened today for a weekend. I go up to my parents bedroom Lola following me. The door creeks and I check my moms phone that was in the closet. There was a notification for a snow day! I partying in my head but I didn’t make a sound until I went to my sisters bedroom and screamed “SNOW DAY!” She goes back to sleeping and I make my way downstairs. I sit down on the couch and play some spongebob. Some hours later everyone woke up I wanted to go outside I don’t know why but I just did. I jumped in a big pile of snow and ran back in. I got treated with a hog chocolate and sat cozy by the fireplace. I go to sleep very relaxed hoping It will be a snow day tomorrow.

A package had Arived and on the top it read in big bold letters Merry Christmas Stephie and Tom!(from my Grandpa and Grandma) Me and my sister started begging my mom to open it and she finally gave in, we opened it and there were 2 Toys R Us gift cards! Can we go, Can WE!? Well, mabey later. After lunch we went to Toys R Us and we each got a toy and pretty much played with them the rest of the day.

It all started when I woke up one day (I think it was a Monday) and I just laid motionless in my bed bed thinking UGHHHHHHH. But then I hear something hopeful (not for my ears), my mom yells/whispers "IT'S A SNOW DAY!" at that moment my heart somehow stopped for around 0.4253 seconds. I jumped right out of bed and I knew what I wanted to do... CHOCOLATE SNOW!!! I put on all of my stuff and forced my brother to get all the stuff and come outside. When we come outside we take some snow and put it in a bowl, got some chocolate sauce and put it on the snow in the bowl and let it soak in. When it was finished we ate it and it was AMAZING. Then we got on our swing and swung into 4 feet deep snow and it was so much fun. After, we went inside and got hot chocolate and sat and watched T.V. by the fire. It was so cozy.

I woke up at 8:00 and all I hear are my sister screaming and going crazy because everybody knew what it was today; A SNOW DAY!!!!
I already planned out my whole day but the only thing I really remember was me calling on my friend to go tobogganing and when we got there right as the car stopped, me and my friend hopped out and ran to the hill. On the hill I felt confident so I got a lot of speed and I hit a bump at the bottom so I went flying and I knocked the wind out of myself and after that I celebrated that I was still alive by running down the hill but I rolled an ankle at the bottom so after all that we had to go home but instead we went to Tim Horton's to get hot chocolate.

The End of a very painful snow day ┌(° ͜ʖ͡°)┘.

One morning in America, I woke up, trotted to the balcony to see if we had any snow. I blinked and saw 2 feet of snow piled up in our back lawn. “What?! That was so unexpected!” I said loudly. This was our first snow we had since we moved to America. The trees were all covered with a small layer of white snow, the ground was all sparkly, and there were some squirrels’ foot prints in the snow. It all looked so beautiful. Gazing outside for a while started to hurt my eyes. So I ran to my sister’s room to tell her about the snow: “Hey, were having a snow day!” After a while, my mom woke up. We ate breakfast. It wasn’t our usual cereal. My mom took time making bacon and eggs. It was delicious. I just love that crispy taste of the bacon. After we ate we started putting on our snow gear. “Ugh.” It was really hard to squeeze myself into the snow pants without practice. Finally, my sister and I rushed outside to play in the snow. Instead of being at school and doing work we were drawing snow angles in the snow, making a snowman and having a snowball fight. It felt joyful and happy because I got to miss school and play instead. After a while we went to the club house in our apartment complex to grab some hot cocoa and a few donuts. “Mmm… The hot chocolate smells so good,” I said while eating my donut.

But the snow day was only getting better. In the afternoon my family visited our friends house. There, my sister was doing puzzles while I was playing with my friend. We played my favorite game, Minecraft on the Xbox! After the tasteful dinner my sister was coloring and my friend and I were doing a shooting battle downstairs. I heard my mom calling me upstairs, “We have to go home.” “Dang it!” I thought to myself. When we got back, I drank some milk and went to bed. “That was an awesome snow day,” I said to myself. Then I rolled my blanket to my head and fell asleep feeling happy. I wish we had another snow day like this one.

The best snow day i have ever had was when i stilllived in Prince Edward Island and we had about 15 days off in a row!! The weather was so old that we had to wear snowmobile helmets on if we went out side , if we could get out the doors were filled to the top with snow and i thought we were gong to bee trapped forever but then we opened the door because we had no choose and luckily only the top half of the snow fell in we didn't get any shovels so we had to impervious we used brooms until we got to the garage door and grabe some shovels by then all the kids were inside getting warm and drinking toasty cups of hot chocolate and big fluffy marshmellows. When the day was over every one was very tired and ready for bed at about 7:30pm.
THATS WAS THEBEST SNOW DAY EVER :)

The last time I remember having a snow day was like this.

Uhhhh WAHT time is it I looked at the clock it was 7:30 so I got up and slowly walked down stairs as my legs were akining. I sat on the chair as I was eating my bekfast and looked over to see out the window. OMG THERES SO MUCH SNOW. I ran over and there was 2 feet of snow well that WAHT I thought. Then I told my dad and he said it was a snow day I was very happy but also a little upset at the time because I woke up so early all for nothing. I ran up stairs after bekfast and was soooooooooooooooooooooooosoooooooooooooooooooooooosoooooooooooooooooooooooosoooooooooooooooooooooooosoooooooooooooooooooooooosoooooooooooooooooooooooosoooooooooooooooooooooooosoooooooooooooooooooooooosoooooooooooooooooooooooosoooooooooooooooooooooooosoooooooooooooooooooooooosoooooooooooooooooooooooosoooooooooooooooooooooooosoooooooooooooooooooooooo EXITED. I grabbed my iPad and watch videos for 2 hours.

We had spent a fun week at Disney world at the parks last year and it was the night before we had to leave to catch the airplane and I remember my dad saying we have to wake up at 4 in the morning to leave. That's when I went to bed and had a long night sleep and weirdly woke up at 7 thinking people were still asleep so I went to go tell them and walked into the other room at the hotel but as soon as I walked in they said " LILAH IT'S A SNOW DAY AND WE GET TO STAY ONE MORE DAY". My dad said" it's true the plane got stuck at the buffalo airport and could not take off" I was so happy. We came up with a plan to go to one of the four parks (EPCOT). When we went to the Disney ticket counter to buy tickets, we told her we had a 'snow day', and she gave us all our tickets for free. She also gave us unlimited fast passes for the day. She told us to "ENJOY OUR SPECIAL DAY". WE WENT ON ROLLER COASTERS TILL 5 AND DECIDED TO GO OUT FOR DINNER AS A TREAT. WE GOT BACK TO OUR HOTEL ROOMS AND MADE SURE EVERYTHING WAS STILL PACKED which it was and watched TV then went to bed.The next morning we had to leave Disney world and Orlando and go back home.

Beep! Beep! I woke up early in the morning to the sound of my alarm. i shut it off and looked ta the clock. It was 7:30. My mom came into my room and told me the terrible news.
"It is a snow day today," she said. Oh no! That means no school. Now I can't see my friends! This is outrageous, I thought.
"I hate snow days!" I said as I got out of bed.
"Why?" my mom asked.
"Because then I can't see my friends," I replied. I washed up and came downstairs in my pyjamas.
"Can I have some hot chocolate?" my sister asked. She was sitting at the dining table with my dad. Sunlight streamed thorugh the windows.
"Sure," replied my mom.
" I don't like snow days. I don't like snow. It is cold and wet," I said as I sat down at the table.
"You can just stay inside all day if you want. You don't have to go outside," said my dad.
"Ok!" All day I stayed inside and did some crafts, and played some games and watched some TV.

I still don't like snow days!

I might not be able to remember but I'll give it a try......

It was Tuesday, I woke. up it was 8: 50!!! I had to get ready. I called my parents. No answer. I looked in there bedroom and they were asleep. I yelled "WAKE UP!" I wiggled them around. they woke up. I said "IT IS TIME FOR SCHOOL!" "GET UP!" they woke up in fright. They were moving and saying that is wasn't school today. They said "IT IS A SNOW DAY!" I was relieved and scared I had wanted to go to school so badly and instead it was a snow day.

................3 Hours later.

I want to play! Oh by the way this was when I was 6. I wanted to have a play date with someone. I asked her to text Ava Cikoja to see if she was free. We had turned out having a sleepover instead of a playdate. And that was really all to it......"Bye Bye!" I know it is the worst but snow days just are not fun.

Hello Mr.Steltman

My favourite snow day was in Grade 3. This is how it planned out to be. I woke up I ran to check my first window I saw big piles of snow! I thought to myself SNOW DAY SNOW DAY SNOW DAY! I was the first kid up, I walked quietly down the stairs as if I had marshmallows on my feet. I went to my mom and I said “I see snow I see snow.”

My mom had been watching the news and told me that the schools were closed. “Aww but YES because I like Mr. Steltman as a teacher.”

Then my mom texted Jared’s mom and she said they were going tobogganing at Harman Gate park near our old house. Then my mom told me to go wake up Claire and dad. We got dressed in our warmest clothes and toboggans . Then my mom said we got to shovel the driveway because there were humungous mounds of snow. So we shovelled for about an hour and then it was time to go to Harman Gate Park. I was so thrilled that I was going to see Jared because he was one of my best friends. We were lucky the snow plow person cleared the roads. Then we were there we got out of the car. We grabbed our toboggans we ran as fast as the speed of light to the hill. We put our toboggans down on the ground and then we pretended we were skeleton/luge athletes. We went ZOOMING fast down the hill! It was fun because we jumped over a ramp. We tobogganed until we got the gold medal. Then we packed up and drove over to Jared’s house for hot chocolate and marshmallows. The hot chocolate was so hot it was like the sun on my mouth. Plus we also played video games. That was my favourite snow day ever...so far... lol sorry it is from last year but lol

The best snow day that I had ever had was about 1 year ago.When I woke up in the morning I looked out the window and I thought it had to be a snow day because there was so much snow.So I went down to ask my Mom if she could check on the school website if it was a snow day and once she checked she said it was a snow day I was so happy.I then got on all of my snow clothes and went outside to make a snow fort in the snow it was the biggest snow fort I have ever made. Then when I got to cold I went inside to make some hot chocolate and watch a movie.

The best snow day I ever had was back when I was in grade 1. I woke miserable because I thought that I would have to go to school but then my dad said"It's a snow day today!". I thought to myself" This is awesome!" I ran downstairs and I made myself some hot chocolate. My parents left leaving me and my brother at home by ourselves. Wen I finished my hot chocolate I put on snow pants and a coat then I ran outside and jumped into the snow. As soon as I felt thee air temperature outside(by then I already jumped) I immediately regretted the decision. My face landed in the snow and it was so cold. I just sat there for about a minute before I got up and walked back inside. That was my best snow day.

The best snow day that I can remember is not a snow day exactly it just a day that had a lot of snow. It's a pa day. So when I woke up I knew it was a pa day so I was so exited that I didn't have to go to school. When the snow plow driver comes down are street we live in the corner so all the snow goes to are house and its so tall and STEEP! I love building tunnels, sliding/rolling of the top of the huge hill and sledding off the hill! Then I built the biggest snowman I ever made it was AWESOME it sadly melted over time. Are neighbors had some company over they built the biggest snowman I ever seen in the universe it was at least 7 times as wide as me and 2 times my height! I was amazed! That was the only pa day/ snow day that I can remember. It was the best one ever. Ya me and my friend also Had a SNOW BALL FIGHT! It was amazing!

I remember my snow day like this...

It was Thursday morning I was very tired and I rushed downstairs to get ready for school. Later that morning my parents came down and said did you remember its a snow day. "ohhhhh ಠ_ಠ" I said. Later that day I had a lot of fun anyways and I went bowling (but when we stepped out the door there was three feet of snow (we were covered in snow).

Just another day of school... yay!
Waking up: I set my alarm very early so then I can press snooze, thats just how I role, if you want to argue talk to the hand. And then in the morning when my alarm goes off I wake up, and I press snooze. Now because I work very slow in the morning I just wake up, I walk downstairs... OH wait, thats not how it really goes, heres how it really goes. My brother wakes me up at 5:00 am telling me that its a snow day, but since we haven't had a snow day about two years ago and he is now older and mature, but he would still do that. And it wouldn't be like Christmas day, me going downstairs, having a great breakfast, playing in the snow... no its not like that. After my brother tells me its a snow day I go back to bed very happily... and I go to bed for the rest of the day, and I sleep, well duh.
Mr.Steltman and students thats my perfects snow day, sleeping! THank you!

And then my alarm goes off, you don't want to go over that with me.

One snowy day...

In the morning I woke up and went to the living room and asked "what time is it?". They said its 9:00 0'clock I said "WHATTTTTTTT we are late for school and then my parents said it is a snow day. So then my family played outside, had snowball fights, made snow forts and it was so much fun! Then later that day we went for a family walk. We walked a few blocks and it was amazing because we walked through a winter wonderland, there was so much snow! Then when it was the evening we watched a family movie then went to bed. It was tiring playing in the snow all day long. Those are the reasons why this was the best snow day ever!

Sooooo.... I honestly can't remember the last snow day that I've had. I know, I know, I have the most terrible memory but come on, I was basically in first grade. So just to improvise, I'm gonna make up a story!!! I hope you like it!!! <3

I was having a nice dream about me playing with dogos when,
RING, RING, RING, RING!!!!!! I woke up in a hurry and annoyed, waited for my parents to get it. I got mad when in two minutes when my parents still hadn't gotten the phone so I stomped into my parents room, where the phone is, and was surprised when they weren't there. I looked at the phone and saw it was my Mum calling me from her work. I answered the phone and was surprised to here my Mum say
"It's a SNOW DAY!!!"
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS" I replied with excitement.
When I got off the phone I looked at the time
"11:30!!!!!????" I screamed, waking up my sister
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING CIARAN" my sister yelled with discussed.
" It's a SNOW DAY" I exclaimed to my sister
She seemed even more excited than I was.
"I had a huge science test today" She said with excitement.
I went downstairs to get some breakfast, I was starving from sleeping so long. I made some waffles while my sister made a banana smoothie. I scarfed down my waffles and went down to the basement to watch some T.V. I did some homework while watching when BAM (the good thing about making up my own story, is I can put anything in it) the door bell rang just like in my dream. I went to the door and saw nothing though the window in the door. (just like in my dream) I opened the door to see just about the CUTEST DOG I'VE EVER SEEN!!! Weirdly enough it was the same dog in my dream!! MY DREAM HAD CAME TRUE!!!!! It was a cute puppy Dalmatian!! I played with it all day and trained it and pet it, fed it, went on a walk with it and more!!! Are family decided to keep it and care for it forever!! <3<3<3<3

That was my story of the BEST SNOWDAY EVER!!! I wonder when the next snow day will be?!
