How to Get a Snow Day

Today’s post is not about foreign languages, but it is a topic of most urgent educational concern.  In fact, I’m sure that this is an international issue in cold-weather climates around the globe:  SNOW DAYS!

Tomorrow is the crazy, unproductive last school day before winter break.  The National Weather Service is calling for 6-10 inches of the white stuff to blanket Southeastern Michigan beginning around 4:00 a.m.  Snow Day?  Dare I dream?

Do you know how to get a snow day?  Here are all the tricks I know:

1. Wear your pajamas inside out and backwards.
2. Sleep with a spoon under your pillow.
3. Flush ice cubes down the toilet.
4. Do the Snow Dance.
5. Do all of your homework . . . or lesson plans.

Do you know any other Snow Day superstitions?  Please share them in a comment so I can increase my odds of sleeping in tomorrow!

Merci, gracias, danke, arigato . . . a world of thanks from a language teacher ready for an early Winter Break :-)
