I knew it was going to be a good day when I drove into school today and saw a beautiful “hoar frost”. I learned this lovely new term from Diane. I just knew it as a frost on the trees that was beautiful, but found out that it has an actual name. ;) It was dark when I got to school this morning, but the trees were beautiful.
To continue the good day, my school was fortunate to have the Minnesota Twins winter caravan make a stop at it. Current players Ben Revere, Glen Perkins, Trevor Plouffe, announcer John Gordon, and MN legend Tony Oliva came to visit. The students got to ask them questions, they made banners to hang up, and we got some pictures taken.
Here is our principal and two secretaries with the crew.

Trevor Plouffe signed a card for the boys….. (they were so excited when I brought it home)
Here they are answering some of the students’ questions…..
It was exciting and even though they weren’t some of the “big” and well - known players it was neat, fun to be a part of, and great for the kids.

Here are some more pictures of the “hoar frost” as the day went on and got brighter. This is what I get to look at out of my classroom window. I’m obviously a little bias, but think that I have the best view. Earlier this fall one of my students saw a buck, it was huge, and I yelled at her to stay focused and pay attention…..she points outside and there it was on the outskirts of the trees. The whole class went crazy and ran to the window.
