Tuesday=Snow Day (Yay! I can get a few more things accomplished)
Wednesday= Snow Day (Ok I'm ready to be back. No more projects to work on)
Thursday= Snow Day (There is nothing left to do at home)
Friday = Snow Day (When in the world was the last time we had a whole week of Snow Days?)
In the mean time I am sitting here thinking about all that my students have lost because Christmas break went from 2 weeks to 3. I am looking to having to do testing when we get back as well. Anyone else in this boat? After doing some research and seeing that Ohio School's have "Blizzard Bags" that students can complete for Day 6-8 of calamity days so schools do not have to make up those days. What a great idea though. I mean not the using them as extra make up days but sending work to students while they have snow days.
So on Wednesday I created a packet of work for my students. It included Reading, Writing, Spelling and Math. It is all extra practice and work that they can do at home without much help. I offered extra credit for anyone that completes the work since I cannot require it due to not having school. This is a great way for the students to get back into the routine of school and come Monday when we go back they will be a step ahead of everyone else. This packet was emailed to all parents that I could email. I only have about 8 that I could not get the packet to. In the future I will send home the packet at the beginning of December and ask parents to hold it for the first snow day.
Check out what I sent home in my "Blizzard Work."
