=A Picture in Time: Getting to Know Each Other= What do you see out the window of your school? Do you have a lot of snow? Is it cold? How are the students in your school dressed? What are your students doing outside at this time of year? Below please add the 3 pictures that you have taken on December 10th (or any other day if you joined us late). Above the pictures include the name of your school and a short description of what the weather was like the day you took the pictures.

__3 Snapshots We Are Asking For__

 * 1) Outside of your school (perhaps including some defining element such as a type of tree, etc),
 * 2) Showing how the students are dressed,
 * 3) Students participating in some activity.

St. Johns School
Today is snowy, windy and the temperature is - 3 degrees Celsius. We all thought that school was going to be closed because there was lots of ice and snow. There is a lot of water, there is maybe 4 cm of water. This morning was very wet because it was raining a lot during the night. We like ice skating when there's a lot of ice. Lots of the younger kids put on warm clothes and the older kids put just a coat and a hat. The roads in front of our school are very slushy. (Kelly and Lyna)

As you can tell by our photos, today was a wet and rainy day. It was plus 7 and it was extremely windy. I had to grab the students as they were getting off the bus to pose for a photo before they came inside. You can also see that the back yard was nothing but water and slush. The students had to stay inside for recess. We decided to do a special Art project because it was so wet outside. I hope you enjoy our pictures.

=**Golden Valley School**= Val d'Or, Quebec



Today is a bright, beautiful, cold day in Val d'Or. The temperature today is - 24 degrees Celcius. The wind chill made it feel even colder than that. Most of the students wore snow suits, hats, mittens, scarves and warm boots. Some of the older students didn't wear their snow pants.

There is a lot of snow on the ground. We decided to climb the snow mountain in the parking lot of our school. We have an ice rink right outside our gym. It isn't quite ready for skating yet, but we thought we'd go and test out the ice.

Today was Hat Day at school. Everyone was supposed to wear a hat that they had made, bought, or found. Ms. Bagshaw's class went to visit our book buddies in Ms. Gigi's class and see their hats.

Today was a VERY snowy day. We got over 25 cm of snow. The ride to school was slow and long. A few of us didn't arrive until 10 am. Our bus got stuck in a snow bank at the beginning of the route. The good news is that it wasn't very cold and we all enjoyed playing in the snow at recess. Our teacher said we looked like snowballs when we came in from outside.

At recess some of the students also played on the new playground equipment we got in the fall. One of our favourites is the Super Nova. We love to spin around on it and now we have snow to cushion our fall.

After recess we came inside and went to the gym where another Cycle 3 class was presenting a 3 R (reuse, reduce and recycle) exposition. It was quite interesting and they really knew their stuff.

Today it is cloudy and 15ºC. Now we are in Baltimore but we will move to New York in April (we move a lot – about every 2 months). At recess, we like to play with hoola-hoops. We are really good at hoola-hoops. Our playground is in between the office trailers. (Laila and Samara)

On December 10th- we could not take our picture...we had a SNOW DAY!!!! Here are pictures of us on December 11th, 2009. We also had Ricky with us when we took our pictures.
