Snow Day Memories

1/26/2017

   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!

-A few years ago- I woke up earlier than usual and I walked downstairs and did my daily routine, when I was all ready for school I looked outside at all the snow and said "I can't wait 'till after school!". when everyone else woke up my mom said "Oh I forgot to tell you, it's a snow day" Me and ben were both really excited, so we put on our snow pants, gloves, hats, boots and coats and jumped into the snow! it was a pa day the day before. and I had lot's of fun!

As I woke up extremely lazily I realized it was school today. I look out my window. I see snow. Lots of snow. A few inches at least. I use all my energy I can muster to get to my parents room. My parents are watching TV. My mom smiles at me and tells me it is a snow day. I go to my sisters room and wake her up and tell her it is a snow day. When she heard the news she raced down stairs at top speed. I told my mom and dad that me and Charlotte were going in the back yard to go play in the snow. We brought 3 buckets outside. When we got to the backyard to start are parents were sitting at the kitchen table watching us happily. Me and my sister planed are fort and decided to make a fort by stacking are Homedepot buckets full of snow on top of each other. After a long time of collaboration and elbow grease we were half done. The walls were a meter long and 3 Homedepot buckets high. Our mom and dad realized we were very cold and made a us come inside for a break. We all ate eggs and cheese sandwiches, hash browns, big mugs of hot chocolate and piping hot cookies. After lunch my parents started to watch a movie and asked if me and Charlotte wanted to watch but we were determined to finished. It felt like forever but we finally finished. As we admired are work we rushed inside half frozen. We found are parents taking pictures of our work. As we ate dinner we talked about what we accomplished and enjoyed today. After dinner we crowded in are parents bed and watched viral videos (which are hilarious). After that we say good night and go to bed. This was my most memorable snow day.

I woke up with a slight spring in my step, anticipating an amazing day. My quiet gait against the cold wood floor sent a shiver up, echoing throughout my half awake body. I knocked on my sister's door with and overflowing attempt to wake her up. Within a few minutes my entire family was awake, (just not my Dad) huddled around the TV waiting for the moment they finally realise they don't need to change if it is or if it isn't a snow day 3 times a minute. The very second I digested the news that it's a snow day I bellowed out a few deafening notes and hurdled into the snow before you could shake a stick at me (and frankly, I'm quite glad because if they could, that means they have a stick on hand!) I heard the sliding door crash behind me and saw my sister emerge into the abyss I call snow days. I had made an amazing snowball to throw at this time, although I believe she saw it coming and backed up so it only grazed her jacket. Then we made the best family of mini snowmen ever and had piping hot hot chocolate (can you repeat a word twice?) That was my favorite snow day!

One day when I was in grade two there was so much snow outside it was crazy! At the end of the school day when got home my parents turned the weather network on and it said that it would be a snow day for all schools in Halton the next day. That night I went and had a sleepover at my grandmas house. The next morning when I woke up the high of the snow had not changed I went down stairs and my grandma told me the snow day was canceled and everyone was meant to go to school that day! I didn't go to school neither did a lot of people in my class apparently there were only about five people in my class that day. That day I had so much fun and no work to do though I could have been at school I considered that day a snow day. It kind of was one. I don't exactly remember what happened that day but I remember that it was AWESOME!

I can't remember which day it was...

But I remember the story. It was a dark and cold night. This was when I still wore my fire truck Pjs. Which was a long time ago. So let's tune in. Dark and cold nights at last, it was always like that now. But today, me and Hudson couldn't stop talking about the day his cousins got more than a week off school due to snow! This was so long ago, he lived In his old house...so we were told to come home with his family. And we tried to make a tunnel in his backyard, under the snow, although there wasn't that much snow on the ground. But those were the good times. And we would play almost every night. So anyway, I went home had dinner, sat by the tree and went to bed. I lay there till I slept, although for a while I had big troubles in sleeping. But eventually I found myself sleeping, while the magic of flying pigs and alive cartoons dazzled over my mind, not even thinking about snow. And, like every morning, I woke up! And it was 8:30! That's late for school! I asked my mom, " are we late for school?"
"Nope! Snow day!" She replied. THre energy rushed over me, and felt the urge to keep running around my parents room. Even bough my brothers were still sleeping. But who cared? I'm young and it's a snow day! And that's where the fun stopped.
"Or wait........no snow day. School is still on. It's in the website!"
Way to spoil the fun, Mom.
But we were still late. So why even bother go? 5 minutes late with three kids who haven't gotten ready or eaten? I say heck no!!! And so did my mom!!! No school for us that day. Even bough there was school that day, I still considered it one. Because I then on the next day heard, only about 3 people from each class showed up. Probolably not even! Not even most of the teachers showed up!

FAVORITE SNOW DAY!!!!

I woke up to the sound of wind and misery outside, I crawled out of bed (quite literally) and tore open the blinds to see nothing, nothing but a white sheet of snow pouring down on the front lawn filling the tree branches and grass with wet packing snow, I slid down stairs and jumped to a start and screamed "WAKE UP" I got no response but moaning and groaning saying "go back to sleep". So I went back up stairs and started banging on my piano at full volume playing radioactive "That lovely but go back to bed" my mom groaned from under the sheets. In a long two hour I was finally getting my snow pants on and rolling around in the snow tackling leaf bags to the ground then punching them. Then we had to snow-blow the driveway onto the curb, after that me and my mom and day made the coolest snowfort ever. Afterwords we went inside and had hot chocolate, that night we watched a movie and I went to bed at ten. Then I thought to my self "today was a fun family day" and then fell asleep.

I don't really have my best snow day when I had a snow day you will usually see me sitting down and playing video games so if I would have to explain my best snow day It would just be me sitting relaxing and video games. That is all my snow days And I guess its the best one since there is only one way of snow day I have.

the snow that I would remember 5 years later started. Then it all started my favourite snow day memories. It was up to my waist ( up to my knees now) I grabbed my little shovel and started to help my dad shovel (more like making a bigger mess). My dad suggested that I play in the snow instead so I started shovelling the grass. I had a big pile when I heard my dad talking he said something about a dog. Witch gave me an Idea A SNOW DOG! I started forming the dogs body out of my pile of snow. then I made I snow ball and started to roll it in to the snow, until it was big enough for the head ( it took ALONG time ). I got my dad to help put the head on the body I made the ears and nose. then my dad got a dog bowl that he had from his wedding ( some wedding present ). We put some rocks in it for the snow dog. After my dad remembered that we had a rope that would work for a leash. It was the funest snow day ever! ( I do know funest isn't a word)

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...

It was a regular day. After I came back home after school, I did my homework. Then my parents and I had a dinner together. When I prepared to go to bed, my mom said, "It's snowing outside!" I ran to the window and opened the curtain, even it was night but it seemed a day because the snow is falling down and everywhere covered with white. The snow were almost 20 cm. What was a big snow. I was so excited, and I didn’t even went to bed. We decided to clear snow. After we finished clearing it, we didn't feel tired but excited. We knew our neighbors were cleareds the now as well. What’s an amazing snow night!

I jumped out of my bed and pulled the curtains. The window was covered with snow, white and clean, sparkling in the sunlight. I ran downstairs and peeked outside. The streets was covered with blankets of white snow, all the roads were hidden, not a single landmark was seen, the snow was still coming down in big heavy flakes, it had piled up to a few inches. My mom told me it was a snow day! So I called my sister and we played outside in the snow, the chilly wind blowed to our faces, we dived in millions of shimmering crystals, the snow feels cold, but somewhat warm.

I don't really remember any great snow days because my brother and I are always the ones who have to clean all the snow but my favorite snow day was when I forgot to do my homework the day before and I got more time for it thanks to the snow day

My favorite snow day was when I was in grade four. I remember it like yesterday. It was on a sunday and it was in febuary and it was a superbowl game the Denver Broncos vs the New England Patriots we had so may people in our house and the New England Patriots won! It was snowing like crazy I remember all of my friends that night put their pj's inside out and licked a spoon and put it under our pillow's that is how you tell mother nature"please we want a snow day." And when I woke up I ran straight to the window! AND YOU COULD BARLEY JUST SEE THE ROAD!! I ran into my brothers room to see him already awake on his phone to check if school was canceled AND IT WAS! My mom and dad were already awake down stairs with break fast ready for Oliver and I. After that we put on our snow clothes got all of our friends and played in the moutians of snow ALL DAY. We even had a snowball fight at nine. That was the best snow day I have ever had.

I woke up to the coldness of the air outside. I get out of bed, and head down stairs. I knew it snowed last night but, I did not know how much. I walk slowly towards the window. I look out to see white. All white. It was snow! And there was quite a lot of it to. When my rest of my family came down, my mom said it was a snow day! I was so excited. I was planning to go outside and play in the snow, but first I was going back up to bed and sleep in my soft and cosy bed. Man, I was tired.

Oh, the love of snowdays.

Like every morning I try to stay in my warm bed for as long as possible, but that snow day I accidentally fell asleep. I woke up and texted my mom to say that I would be late for school and she responded with "no school, snow day" at that moment it was too cold for me to do anything so I just went onto my bed and watched netflix, and I eventually fell asleep. That was a great day thanks to snow!

Beep beep! I woke up to the sound of my alarm beeping in my face. I turned it off and felt relieved. I walked into my bathroom and did the usual. I walked down stairs ready for the fresh smell of food but when I went in I was surprised no one was in there and got disappointed of the smell of no food. I marched to my parents room. I woke up my mom and said why didn't you make breakfast - I am hungry! I said ''Don't you know it`s a snow day!" Mom said ''no why would I?'' didn't your father tell you it's a snow day tomorrow last night" -No - Well then, Ameer, it's a snow day'!' "Okay, mom”, I said then I ran out my parents’ room screaming “Yeahhhhhhhh”with happiness and belly flopped straight onto my bed with a big BLAP and went back to sleep. When I woke up like at 12:30 pm I went down stairs and found a plate of pancakes drizzled with syrup. I got a fork and dove at the food with my fork. The pancakes were as fluffy as a cloud and very sweet and delicious. After the scrumches pancakes I went to the bathroom and did more of my duties. At around 2:00 me and my brother went outside and played in the snow me and my brother firing snow balls one by one at each other pelting each other hitting each other in the coat and sevral shots straight to the head with snow with fresh snowballs form the morning. After my roll about with my brother we got undressed and went to the kitchen were my mother brewed up two fresh cups of hot chocolate After me and my brother finished our cups of hot chocolate.Me and my brother were very board so we traveled down stairs and played some Wii we played tennis the thrill of swinging a controller in the air is such a rush. My favorite part are when you hit the ball and you hit it so hard it turns on fire and goes rocketing towards your opponents side it's so awesome you get so happy and get to brag about it the rest of the day. For dinner me and my mom cooked some chicken soup it was very tasty it felt like it has the right proportion of salt to pepper.
after dinner I went upstairs to watch TV a ran to the couch and jumped on and grabbing the remote making sure I could choose the channel, I ended up watching a bit of Spongebob Squarepants I think it was the episode where Patrick got a job at the Crusty krab I found this episode pretty amusing Spongebob is one of my favorite shows to this day. After that I had more bathroom duties and changed into my pajamas and plopped into my bed and went to sleep.

I woke up that morning from a fitful sleep. The house was stone silent. Immediately, I knew something was amiss. The house was never silent. I never woke up on my own. I threw a glance at my clock, my fatigued brain taking a while to process the information it extended. 9:30. I wracked my brain, trying to remember if I'd forgotten anything. Did I have a dance competition today? No. Was it a weekend? No. It wasn't a P.A. Day or a holiday. I lay in bed, trying to comprehend just what exactly was going on. Then I noticed the third wrong thing. Something I couldn't place my finger on until just now. The house wasn't silent. The world was. I sat bolt upright and threw open my window so vehemently that it sent a rattle shuddering up the wall. The sight that presented itself to me was so alluring I wanted to jump outside and let it swallow me, bathing me in the white light that blanketed the world. The tree branches were plump with snow, scattering white crystals with even the slightest breeze. The snow that swathed the ground was powder, looking as though it would slip through my fingers like liquid silk. I flung the quilt off my body and slammed the door open. "Mom, I'm going outside!" I called.
"You haven't even had breakfast yet!" She yelled back.
"I'll do that later!" I said. Besides, I already had half my winter gear on. I plummeted out the door and flew across ground, feet barely making contact with the frozen earth. I pounded on the neighbor's doors ignoring the fact that half of them were probably still sleeping. But the kids weren't. We streamed out of the houses like a little army, my brother included. The snowball fight we had then could have broken a world record. Snow flew through the air like missiles, each one rarely hitting it's mark. Screams rang out and laughter abounded. When I came inside three hours later, my cheeks were flushed with cold, excitement and excursion. My hair hung in matted clumps around my face. Despite that fact my pajamas were damp with perspiration, I enjoyed the mug of mint hot chocolate waiting for me. It slid down my throat, creamy and warm, coming to settle in my stomach where I could feel it spreading, extending it's limbs through out my body, leaving not an inch of me cold. This was the best snow day ever.

One day, it was a snow day. I was just sitting there, eating my breakfast. My dad was on his phone (as usual. I honestly don't know why they are so interesting.) He reached over the table and asked, "Hey Lin Xin, do you know what this is?" I took his phone from his hand. I read the thing. I read it twice. I read it a third time just to be sure. IT WAS A SNOW DAY! I was excited because I never had a snow day before. I showed my sister. "We get a snow day?" she asked. "Yeah," I replied. After my mom went to work, my sister and I just stayed at home, not sure what to do. Finally, my dad said that he was going to go outside and shovel snow. My sister and I went too. Well, we didn't even really shovel the snow. That is, my dad shoveled the snow and my sister and I just watched. We unsuccessfully tried to get the snow off the car. There was a whole lot of snow. Anyway, after my dad was done, there were huge piles of snow so, my sister and I had a snowball fight. Now that was fun. After we were done having the snowball fight, the three of us went inside and ate lunch. Then, we had to play piano. :( My sister and I argued over who would go first. In the end, I did. :( After I was done, it was my sister's turn :) So, yeah. That is pretty much what happened that day. My first snow day.

When I woke up, I realized it was a school day. Apparently, I was mistaken which felt pretty awkward. I then looked through my window, and saw a ton of blank snow emerging from the skies. I then went on my computer, and I was doing my own optional homework. Later on, I asked my brother we could play ping pong? - He replied it with a “yes”. We then went to the basement, got our requiring ping pong equipments, and carried on. We both got a tie score, and played a free for all round.

This was one of my best snow days that I remember enjoying. This was the short summary of my best snow days and I will write a full - version of my best snow day summary later on.

Going to be revealed at February 15th at your current classroom!
