Winter Wonderland

Here is a picture of the winter wonderland outside of the window at my work. It inspired a fun activity for my kids. They were working on spelling, so after the jumping, the writing repetitions, the vocab, and the general filling out of worksheets I handed each one a large marker. Then we preceded to bundle up (let me rephrase that), the kids bundled up. Off we treked to the great outdoors...cold outdoors. They used their markers to practice writing their spelling words in the snow. They loved it and it gave me a great chance to see if they really did learn the words without having it right there to copy. It also gave me a chance to enjoy the beauty of the snow and gorgeous weather we were having.

More pictures to come when I have a chance to be at home more than a few hours where sleeping isn't the #1 priority.
