If you’re a WordPress.com blogger, did you notice that you can get snow falling on your blog?
On your Dashboard, go to Appearance > Extras and click the “Show snow falling on my blog” box. Then remember to click the “Update Extras” button.
Unfortunately, the snow will expire on January 4th. I wish they’d let us keep it all winter long…

Here are some of the books I've enjoyed through library loan or coveted online, but haven't yet saved up the money to buy.
Almost all of the book covers featured on this site link to Amazon.com, where you can read descriptions and reviews—and where I earn a small commission if you actually buy a book. But if you have access to a good library system, you should be able to read the books for free.
Are you looking for a good writing book? Check out these favorites from my overflowing bookshelves. You may use the Amazon.com links below (and help support this blog!) or ask your local librarian.

Hello! That is cool that you can put the snow on your blog! We have snow on our class blog, The Ripple Effect. It looks really good. Too bad that it expires though because I really love snow.

Hi! It’s Ryan from Mrs. Braidwood’s class. It’s not on mine because on Edublogs you have to pay for it. Mrs. Braidwood has it on the class blog, though!

Hello,
Your so lucky you guys can put snow onto your blog! I wish I could. My teacher, Mrs. Braidwood, can do that. 😦 I really like snow except for when it gets into my boots and clothes!

Hey, did you know that the snow follows your mouse left and right?

Katelyn got a version of it on Blogger, too!

Okay, after some looking into stuff, we found that on blogger, you can:
have falling leaves, flowers, balloons, and of course snow.
Also you can have floating script.
I’ll do a post on it on my blogger blog; look for it!

That’s cool that blogger lets you do all those things! I’ll watch for your post…

Hi I am Eli from Mrs.Braidwood’s class. I wish it would snow more where we live but it only snowed for three days so far. My sister and I had lots of fun. We went sledding, and had snowball fights, and made snowman. Does it snow where you live?

Hi, Eli!
Where we live, it snows a bit, but there usually isn’t enough for snowmen or sledding. Mostly our winters are a combination of mud and ice, but we get a decent snow once or twice a year — and a few times, we’ve even had big enough drifts to make a snow cave. That was fun!
