Winter has Arrived

It was the first snow-covered day
I awoke to find snow deep on my drive
I wanted to make a snow angel
For winter had arrived

The fields were white
The road was slick with ice
The trees hung with the heavy snow
It looked so fresh and nice

For winter had arrived

The world was transformed 
Into a winter wonderland
Everything covered with a thick blanket of white
Branches draped with a snowy pearl stand

For winter had arrived

There was a quiet whisper

Across the town

As the lacy fluffy flakes

Collected in the sky and fell down

For winter had arrived

Our first snowfall came today - thus, motivation for our next blog post!  It was so much fun watching my students play (they were playing, laughing and imagining) during recess.  They are the "big" kids and often don't engage in the type of play I observed today during our recess time.  

So, with joy in my heart, I sat at my computer and revised my Writer's Workshop lesson for Thursday and prepared the next blog post prompt.  Something that brought out so many smiles, giggles, and pure happiness; MUST be written about!
