SNOW DAY CHALLENGE!!!

HIP HIP HOORAY!
WE'VE GOT A SNOW DAY!!!

Here's a quick list of things to do on an unexpected day off:

1. Enjoy copious amounts of sleep.

2. Stay in your pajamas ALL. DAY. LONG.

3. Watch the news at noon. (C'mon, when's the last time you did that on a weekday?? Plus, it'll be fun to watch all the NYC kids trudge into school while you're sitting in your PJs at home!)

4. Grab a shovel and help a neighbor.

5. Read something! Anything! C'mon... READ!

AND HERE'S AN ADDED CHALLENGE FOR YOU, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT:

Construct a SNOW-STUDENT! Start out with a regular snowman, but somehow alter it to make it look like a student-- better yet, make it look like an ENGLISH STUDENT-- he/she could be READING something OR writing something, OR maybe even imitating a well-known literary character!!! (Got a red hat? Make a Holden Snowman!!!) C'mon, try it out and snap a picture with your phone or something-- I'll see what I can come up with on my end and check in later with some results. Feel free to share some ideas... And by the way, it doesn't need to be a huge snowman-- just the basic 3 circle construction with some props to make it literary!

Okay, I'm going to watch the end of the news now and start brainstorming...

ENJOY!!!
