It is cold so I put on my hat and coat before I go out. I zip up and pull on my warm boots and grab my school bag. I grab my bag and head out the door into the sharp wind. The wind is strong but I feel snug and warm in my thick coat. I walk fast to the bus stop down the block with my pals. My pals are there in hats and coats too and we talk and joke. We talk and joke till the bus comes near with its bright lights. Then we hop on and ride to school and wave at friends inside. We felt glad to be out in the fresh air with friends near. The day went fast and left us tired but full of good cheer. Mom smiled and said we did well and should rest a bit now. We made plans to do it all again when the sun comes back. Birds sang in the trees and the world felt calm and bright.
