We didn’t have school today (it was already planned to be off for the end of the quarter), but some other schools in the area were called off or had a delayed start due to the cold and snow. Annnnnnd, it’s going to be so cold tomorrow and Wednesday that they have ALREADY called off school! Yup. It’s going to be THAT cold.
Tomorrow the high for the day is -5, but with wind gusts between 20 to 40 miles per hour, which will make the temperature plummet.
Then on Wednesday, the high for the day is -14. With just as bad wind… that means it will feel like -50.
Yup. That’s cold. So, I guess it’s probably for the best that we don’t have kids walking to school!
New this year, however, is that the kids have “homework” to do on these days off of school. 🙂 They have to do things like… build a fort, play a board game, name 10 thinks you see outside, write a story about a snowman, do jumping jacks for 1 min. It should be a fun couple days off of school!
And, of course, with their laptops, teachers could still assign things to their class while they are at home. Have a fun couple of days. We are off today, too, because of snow that hasn’t started, but is supposed to fall through the morning. It was a hard call, I’m sure, because it might not materialize, but if it does, it will have been the right call.
