I had already seen it happen once today, and so when what seemed like a serious snow squall gusted outside my classroom, I ignored the huge flakes blowing sideways and silenced the excited chatter of sixth graders anticipating an early release.
"I predict it will stop snowing and the sun will come out before this class ends," I told them.
They were skeptical as they returned to work, but sure enough, the storm tapered and then halted. Ten minutes later it was blue skies and sunshine. "Ta da!" I spread my arms wide.
"How did you do that?" they demanded. "How did you know?"
"Maybe she can control the weather!" one student suggested.
"Trust me," I said, "if I could? We would have a lot more four day weekends!"
