Day 58

We got walloped by what my dear old uncle calls "an unexpected low-pressure system" today. As my car slid into work behind a large snow plow, I was reminded of the book KATY AND THE BIG SNOW from my own childhood.  I dug it out and shared it with my students who braved today's snow and ice. I distinctly remember studying the little town while I sat in Mrs. Bush's 1st grade room.

I loved the illustrations and would spend hours tracing Katy's path, dreaming of what it would be like to live in that town. I was thrilled that some of my students were equally impressed and we spent part of the day discussing snow plows, sleet, snow, ice and the fact that this book (and I) are from the 1900s!
