Neige in Lege day 2
The sun came up blood red this morning. 
Against my better judgement, I pulled over and attempted to get a shot of it.
Another day of no school buses and therefore just a fraction of my students.
Todays emergency lesson: take the following four words:
that
it
is
not
Using only those words compose an English version of the following French passage:
"Ce qui existe, existe. Ce qui n'existe pas, n'existe pas. Est-ce que c'est ca? C'est ca."
alternative lesson using same material:
punctuate the following passage so that it makes sense. The words are already in their proper order. (clue: there are four sentences total including one question)
that that is is that that is not is not is that it it is
acknowledgment: this idea comes from the film "Charlie" starring Cliff Robertson
Patrique, the custdodian who was sweeping snow with a broom yesterday, today had to close the entrance to the school media center. I saw him kicking at the ice on the sidewalk with his boots today...
He suggested that I take a look
at the beach so ...
on the way home I visited the bassin at Andernos. The mercury continues to hover at or near freezing...
the snow is barely melting.
Nobody can remember anything like it, ever.

Your pictures are crazy-beautiful, magic. How lucky to be there during this rare meteorlogical event! Loves to your rosy-cheeked kiddos. Missy
Gorgeous! Glad you took pictures! Thanks!
It was totally random good luck that when I went to take these pics it was high tide... I never now when the tides are in or out... anyway, luck happens... ain't it grand!
In visiting with Cecile yesterday, I mentioned the snow in Lege. She said her children were really upset -- missing the only snow anyone from Lege ever remembers. What exacerbates the disappointment is the almost complete lack of snow this year (we had a little before Xmas)in our fair city. January has been almost a complete bust, snow-wise (or any other precip). Skiing/boarding has been uninspired for the past 3 weeks.
