Welcome back to a new week! A big New England storm drops more than twenty inches and hands our family a perfect snow day. We share why screens don’t belong on days like this, how the chickens handled the blizzard, and a broader rethink of what real learning looks like.

• storm totals and first impressions
• managing a chicken run in deep snow
• the joy and community spark of snow days
• why mandatory online classes miss the mark
• natural learning through play, work and weather
• a critique of coercive schooling norms
• encouragement to choose sleds over screens
• recognition of southern ice damage and empathy

Enjoy the snow day, parents, everyone out there. Enjoy the snow for those down in the south that are dealing with uh the travesty that is the the the thunder ice, we'll be praying for you.
