Winter Storms

This was the worst winter we have had in a long time. Many feet of snow fell, leaving our houses buried. Because our town had heavy snow in December,the school district had to schedule three extra days of school in June. The last month of school was warm;summer had finally arrived.Students wanted to be outside whenever possible.During the last week of school,our homeroom teacher allowed us to study in the courtyard outside our classroom.
