It is part of our daily routine in homeroom to stamp reading logs in order to ensure that students are filling them out daily even though they are due weekly. So, at the end of November I bought a blue ink pad to go with my snowflake stamp. "We're going to use this every day until we have a snow day," I declared.
"What if we never have one?" somebody asked.
"Then I'll be stamping blue snowflakes in June!" I answered.
This morning on our first day back after the eleven day blizzard break, I held up the box with all the stamps in it. "What'll it be?" I asked. "Those snowflakes were pretty effective! Want some more?"
Ten students looked at me silently. I couldn't tell if they were tired or snow-shocked. "I'll tell you what," I said. "Why don't you choose? When I come around you can pick a snowflake or a yellow jacket, our school mascot."
It was snowflakes all around, friends.
