Blizzard Books and Movies
As the East Coast braces for a blizzard, I was thinking about some of my favorite wintry tales for young people. Of course, Snow Day comes to mind, as well as Little House in the Big Woods. The Twistrose Key is a 2013 release about a frozen realm. I just picked it up, so I don't know yet if it belongs in the same category as the first two.
Last February, as we braced for a blizzard, I wrote about my favorite winter movies. I've reposted it below if you're looking to curl up with a dvd tonight.
February 8, 2013
A group of childhood friends and I get together every year for a grown-ups only, no-kids Christmas dinner. Two years ago, a heated debate broke out over the best movie of all time. Today, as we brace for the impending blizzard, I was wondering, what are the best winter movies of all time? Excluding Christmas movies, (it is February, after all) here are some of my top contenders:
Groundhog Day
Miracle
The Shining
Dumb and Dumber (just for the fun of it)
While You Were Sleeping
Beautiful Girls
Mystery, Alaska
and one you can watch with the kiddies:
Big Miracle
Happy blizzard reading and stay safe,
Christine

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
