Another reason I am fond of snow days is because I can have a lazy day. On most snow days I spend all day long in my pajamas. I also can lay in bed for most of the day. Just

The story Winter Thunder was inspired by the winter storm of 1949. There was also a mega-storm to hit Nebraska in 1888. It was called the schoolchildren's blizzard. It was called this because thousands of school children died when an unexpected blizzard had struck while the children tried to get back from school in the blizzard. On winter thunder while the school children were trying to get home, they got stuck in the snow so they had to try to get back home without a bus.…
Imagine a place where everywhere you look, you see beauty, everywhere you smell is crisp fresh air. Everywhere surrounding you are ginormous mountains with snow slowly melting and one huge blue body of water. There are trees all over the place, and everywhere you look you see nature and all of God’s creations. This fascinating place is Lake Tahoe, in Nevada. Lake Tahoe is absolutely one of the most gorgeous places I have ever been.…
At the beginning of my Christmas break, I was sitting by a smoky, hot fire with some hot coco with marshmallows in it with a warm blanket on a cold day. On the second day of break, I was riding my four wheeler drifting on the icy roads trying to go get more wood for my family's fire at my grandma and grandpa's house .But when I got there and there was a big puff of smoke in the back and it smelled like a fire so I ran back there, but it was just my grandma and grandpa making a fire so they could roast marshmallows so I joined and roasted marshmallows with them then I got my wood and rode back home.…
Twelve schools in the county are thinking about changing to a year-round school schedule, I agree with them wanting the change it because it is a lot more beneficial to the students. The year round school schedule benefits students by (1)having more breaks, (2)less missed school, (3)and not forgetting crucial information during the long summer break. A benefit to the year round school schedule is that the students get more breaks. Since the students get more breaks, they have more opportunities for vacation. More vacations allow students to have more fun, and since they will be having more fun they will be happier students.…
It was a sunny 56 degree day here in Beaver Creek, Colorado and I was ready to make my snowboarding debut. I woke up with a spark of energy and I was ready to go up to the lift, but first I had to go and get my purple and black snowboard. After I had my snowboard in hand I walked outside. While I was making my way up to the lift, my stomach was flipping 100mph and I saw all of the kids struggling to get on the lift. I was praying to God that I would not fail while trying to get on the lift.…

There are many advantages to coming to school later than usual. But all advantages come with disadvantages. With my experience in school I strongly agree about coming to school later and ending the day later. Coming to school later would have kids paying attention more rather them sleeping.…

I believe that we should have school year round. Many people disagree, but once they hear some of the good things about it they may agree with me. One good thing about year round school is the learning. For example, the students do not forget what they learned over a long summer break. Students also can retain more learning.…
The Highs and Lows in Life The crisp, cold mornings- the ones where you have to wear five layers of clothes to stay partially warm; those are the days I live for. Actually, I have lived for days like those since I was three. There has never been anything more relaxing than being surrounded by nature, on the beautiful Earth God created for us. Anytime I get the chance to be in the serenity of the woods, I am there.…
Year round schools are better to in my opinion. You have your free time and still work throughout the year. Schools continue to operate 180 days per year. They stretch out the 180 days over the entire year and take shorter breaks between each term. Year round school can be a problem for some people.…
Snow globes are made of clear glass, a transparent sphere with a scenic view and a plastic toy inside the globe. The sphere likewise encases the water in the globe; the water fills in as the medium through, where the snow falls. The globe must be shaken to actuate the snow so the white particles can fall gradually to reach the base. When the snowflakes/object falls, it experiences two external forces which are; the gravitational force and the aerodynamic (air resistance) drag of the object, which gradually brings the object down. Furthermore, the drag force affects the object because of the shape and the viscosity of the fluid.…
A 4-day Week May Be the Solution How does a three day weekend sound? As a student, a three day weekend sounds awesome! With budget cuts, schools have been desperately trying to find a solution and a four-day school week may just be it. Installing a four-day week would mean a Monday or Friday off of school for students and a great deal of other benefits. Not only would this idea provide financial benefits with transportation, school lunches, and staff costs, but also it could potentially increase attendance.…
