SNOW IN SCHOOLTIME by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: ALL SATURDAY THE SKY WAS CLEAR
Last Line: TO SEE HOW MUCH STAYS ON THE GROUND.
Subject(s): CHILDREN; DECEMBER; SCHOOLS; SNOW; TEACHING & TEACHERS; CHILDHOOD; STUDENTS;

ALL Saturday the sky was clear,
But now again that Monday's here
It snows; and through the window glass
We see the flying snowflakes pass.

The teacher never seems to know
The fun it is to have the snow;
She thinks that we can sit and think,
And write long words with pen and ink,

And listen well to three times three,
And be as quiet as can be,
And never once peep out around
To see how much stays on the ground.
