First Snow

As an adult I see snow and think of shoveling, driving on icy snow covered roads, and extra stuff (hats, gloves, snow pants, boots). However, children see those first snowflakes fall and there are gasps of excitement and anticipation! The holidays are coming, snowball fights, snowmen, sledding :) We often think of 5th graders as big kids, too big for so many things. They are not too big to be ecstatic about snowflakes :) If only as adults we could look as these simple things through the eyes of a child.
