Today is a snow day.
Well, it used to be called a snow day.
Now it’s called an eLearning day.
Like the mixed precipitation that left Greenville covered in a blanket of snow, sleet and freezing rain, our students are getting a mix of Google Slides work and Google Live meets to keep them thinking and learning on this frozen day.
And, just so you know, my teacher friends are building in time in the day for them to get out, go sledding, build a snowman, have a snowball fight, and enjoy the wintry wonder of snow in the south.
For one of my students, my new student from Colombia, this is the first time he has ever seen snow!
Think about that.
Beauty and wonder for sure.
As I look out my window at the snow covered ground, I remember how my mom used to cover my tennis shoes with Bunny Bread bags that she saved from the bread she bought at the day old store at the Bunny Bread bakery in Taylors.
I’m smiling.
And my heart is warmed.
As my students are thinking and learning (and playing, of course), I’m thinking and learning, too.
I’m working on my story for my writer’s workshop at SC State.
A compadre asked me to revise a stream of consciousness piece I wrote about a woman with bruised, bleeding, broken feet.
Here it is.
I hope you look closely and listen carefully to it…and see and hear my heart.
