A Homeschool Snow Day

This morning started with a bunch of excited children.  The snow was piling up on top of what we already had on the ground and it was coming down fast!  Freeland rushed through his morning jobs so that he could go out for a little bit before we started school.  The next thing I knew he had made a big pile of snow beside our little animal shed and was sliding off of the roof into the pile of snow!

Today was a red-letter day for Annika because she completed the Learning to Read curriculum she has been working on since the beginning of the school year!  We now move on to a more advanced reader for the remainder of the year.  We can officially say we have another reader in the house!  Yay Annika!

Poor Casper does not love long division very much, can you tell?  Of course the pressure was on because he was in a hurry to get outside to play in the snow!

Freeland finished his work in record time.  A little too fast perhaps.  Poor boy had to erase and re-write some of his Language Arts answers since they were not neatly written!

And what was Miss Eliana doing while the others were doing school work?  Working, of course! Here she is cleaning the chalkboard wall.

They were in and out all day.  I have wiped up many a puddle today (mostly with my socks).  Of course there were tears because of hands that were too cold, and there were bumps and bruises (no kidding, with sledding off of the shed roof), but it was a fun day.  The only thing that would have made it better is if Daddy had gotten snowed in with us!  You think we could hope for that tomorrow?
