Our school superintendent told me that in districts with poverty, a snow day doesn’t mean the same to those kids or their parents. Many parents can’t afford to take the day off. Kids who depend of free breakfast and lunch don’t get fed and they are left at home alone all day because they don’t have other options. I too love snow days but I understand why they aren’t the best option for all.
I totally get that! I think it’s hard in general, regardless of financial status, to have snow days or virtual days or any of them. Many of my friends that don’t work from home have to scramble and figure out how to be there for their kids or find someone who can watch them because things just aren’t set up for helping parents navigate things like this.
Apparently our school has a policy that they can do 5 of the virtual days. I guess after that is just a day off? I think it should be the other way around.
That coloring book looks so fun! Thanks, Sarah!
Yay! Let me know if you grab it for yourself!

As a retired teacher and principal I say BRING BACK SNOW DAYS!!!!!
I'm also an educator who believes homework in elementary school - I could write a book about it.
Sorry your kiddos are logged in UGH

Our school district doesn’t do remote learning on snow days, and I’m so grateful! Totally agree with you on this one.
I'm so jealous!! I actually don't know what they did pre-Covid but I wonder if they just had regular snow days.
(I love the AirEssentials line from Spanx. Their track stripe dress became my staple for travel commuting — so comfy and the material is dreamy!)
Oooh okay maybe I do need more things... I saw they have pants and I want them.
