No Class December 27th

There will be no Discovery Hour tomorrow, Thursday, December 27 due to the large amount of snow that will be falling.

Some ideas for snow day activities indoors and out:

• In Lieu of Preschool
• Home Made Simple
• Traditional snow day activities:
• Bake or cook a special meal.
• Dress up fancy for a tea party or for dinner.
• Have a book picnic: Spread comfy blankets and pillows on the floor and devour some of your favorite books.
• Hot chocolate after playing out in the snow.
• Make phone calls to family members you don't see often.
• Dance party.
• Do 1 minute clean ups. Put on a timer and see how fast you can dust, mop, or pick up toys. My kids like doing this, we get really loud and silly!
• Spray bottles with colored water to make art in the snow.
• Winter scavenger hunt in the snow.
• Pick a tree outside (one that can be easily seen from a window) to decorate for the birds that stick around for the winter. String popcorn or roll pine-cones in peanut butter and bird seed and decorate a tree or spot. Then come inside and make hot chocolate to enjoy while you sit by the window to see if any birds come.

Enjoy the beautiful snow!

"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather."
John Ruskin

"The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?"
J. B. Priestley
