In Snow Day, by Betsy Maestro, the story tells what happens after a big snowstorm. It tells how the roads are cleared in a city and in a town. Here in West Virginia, some of our snowstorms are so big that school is closed for up to 5 days in a row. A whole week! My students wrote about their favorite thing to do on a snow day.
On a snow day I like to go ice skating with my family.  We go  sled riding, and watch TV. We like to drink hot cocoa.
