It has been a very snowy winter this year. We have lots of snow here at Rideau Heights, but that doesn't stop us! The children have really enjoyed climbing all the snow "mountains" and making snow angels all around our yard. We use shovels to clear a path for our smaller friends. When we are unable to use our yard the children like to bring snow inside to build little snowmen and tiny igloos. 

The Mitten Song by Marie Louise Allen

"Thumbs in the thumb-place,
Fingers all together!"
This is the song
We sing in mitten-weather.
When it is cold,
It doesn't matter whether
Mittens are wool,
Or made of finest leather.
This is the song
We sing in mitten-weather:
"Thumbs in the thumb-place,
Fingers all together!"
