It's time for report cards again!

What is this boy thinking as he goes over his report card? Is he happy with how he prepared for tests and quizzes? Did he do all of his assigned homework? How will his parents respond when they see the report card?

Use as many descriptive words (especially adjectives) as you can in order to construct a wonderful response. Also, think about using a resource like m-w.com to find fantastic words and spell them correctly.

First real snow

Saturday the first substantial snow of the season fell. For some, snow means wonderful things. Snow signals sledding, snowball fights, snowmen, and outdoor frolicking followed by warm dry clothes and a mug of hot chocolate. For others snow means shoveling sidewalks and driveways, driving in hazardous conditions, slipping and falling, and puddles on the floor from melted, tracked-in snow.

What does snow mean for you? What are some of your favorite aspects of snowy days? What are some of your least favorite aspects of powdery precipitation?
