I love that little girl at the end...first boy she's ever kissed and the second will be her Dad...🤗
"What is snow, people?!" That little girl is too cute. And the little snowman kissing girl, too. These kids are great! They deserve a snowman.
I love everything about this! Just look at those precious faces and that marvelous teacher! Steve Hartman is a true journalist who constantly tugs at our heartstrings ❤️
This reporter did such a wonderful job with this story. What a couple of awesome teachers as well!!! This was beautiful!!! ♥️♥️♥️ 🌎🚀🌙
I have great respect for this teacher. I love snow.
It’s something we take for granted growing up in the NE. When I was in 5th grade in NJ a kid in class started yelling & ran to the windows. Turned out he was recently moved from CA & had never seen snow before! ❄️
LOVE this story!!! So glad the kids were finally able to see what snow looks and feels like! This will definitely have an impact on their reading comprehension and overall positive experience of someone sending them a snowman!!♥️☃️
I haven't seen snow until I immigrated in the USA. I was 21 years old when I first touch and tasted snow.
This a feel good story. I love how excited the children are. The sister and teacher are awesome for providing so much joy to the children.
What a great teacher!!!
I grew up in Southern California, I completely relate to these kids. Lol. The most I ever saw was hail, seeing snow for the first time still sticks out in my memory.
You are an amazing teacher, keep up the good work. Those smart little brains will forever remember you.
God bless those kids.
I've taught children at church since 1972. I have done different things with and for the children to give them things they wouldn't usually have or do. It is a blessing to both, the teacher and the children, God bless you!!
So proud of these educators and friends that teach at Southshore!!!
I feel honored to be at this school with all my amazing teachers(Btw at 1:48 is one of my besties he is so nice)!
Amazing teacher!! ❤️🎉👍💖
What a beautiful story.
Wow! That's Teacher of the Year right there!!
There are simple things that we can rejoice for☺️
I was born and raised in the tundra. I cant believe that there parents have not taken a trip north to enjoy the snow. Kids love snow. Big kids do too.
I love Steve Hartman, he's a drink of rain water and his kids are so precious, and that Meryl is a cutie and very smart. May God bless this family and Mr. Hartman while on the road keep him safe .
Thank you Teacher for going far above and way beyond your calling! I would love to of been there to see their faces. When your done with the snowman, consider letting each student, that wants to, taste the snow, 😊 ❤❤❤❤
I teach in Arizona. One of my students told me she wished snow was real instead of make believe. I told her snow was real, I used to live where it snowed all the time. She looked at me like I was something right out of Frozen.
Born and raised in MN and still excited with every snowfall, even when I had to shovel it. So excited for these kids who were given the opportunity to see and touch the snow. That teacher and her sister made it happen. Cool!
The one thing I have spent months fretting over, then it arrived and I spent weeks avoiding it, now itgone and I’m rejoicing over it! We lived down south for almost 3 years so there was no snow and I loved it. When I was left with the heavy burden of packing up everything we owned and coming back north I spent a lot of hours regretting it! When we lived in Hawaii for 5 years I think it was the happiest I’ve ever been! No snow!!
If all teachers caredabout thier studenta like this teacher does the world would be a better place
The kids are so adorable
That little girl with the bow is precious
I approve of this message. I drove a bus at a Rocky Mountain ski resort and almost every week I met people who were seeing snow for the first time in their life. The look in their eyes was just one of awe. It was one of the best parts of the job.
This was a wonderful story I love things like this these children are so cute it was nice to see all these little happy faces it was really nice to see a story like this it really made my day when I saw this
What a great teacher what a great story ☺️
Great effort all around on this story, from the students, teachers, reporter, and news team!
We need more “feel good” news stories. The shame being, good stories are indeed news these days. That teacher is great. Her students are blessed to have her. Love the excitement of the kids. This is how all learning experiences should be
Psychology is less valued but so important in connection
That is a such a wonderful woman for doing this 🥰
This teacher is amazing!!! ❄️☃️
That is a game changer.
She gets my vote for teacher of the yr.
Hey CBS, your weekly reminder that you are terrible people until Steve Hartman has his own show.
Bless their beautiful hearts thanks 👍
I like news like this 😃
So that’s why there was a news reporter at school that day, interesting
I love it. Absolutely amazing.
What s cool teacher
Dream comes true...yey!
we still have snow here in minnesota in april
That was real dope!! She get a A+ for me.
I knew this was gonna be dumb and it was and I love it.
Genius tbh … on another level of this psychology
Snow merely looks good in pictures. However, in real life, they are terrible hassle and inconvenience.
💕
Hi all I tell you what she is great teacher . ☺️
I didn’t see snow until my 2nd year of college.
Can it be? Kids without masks in the classroom?! Florida is based!

Im a second generation Floridian and NEVER SEEN SNOW. When I was a kid they would do fake snow in down town Tampa.
Here in NH we call it a 4 letter word that starts with s but we don't call it snow. We get way too much of an it to like it. Florida can have it all if we can have their sun!

To Live, or Not to Live, That Is the Question “To be, or not to be, that is the question,” mused Prince Hamlet in the so-called “nunnery scene” of William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. Every year, around the world, some 800,000 people answer this question negatively and take their own lives. Even worse, suicide is one of the leading causes of death among young people. Why do people, especially young ones, take their own lives? Is it possible to strengthen their desire to live? The authors of the Talmud wrote, “For two and a half years, the House of Shammai and the House of Hillel disputed. One side said, ‘It is better for man not to be born than to be born,’ and the other side said, ‘It is better for man to be born than not to be born.’ They concluded, ‘It is better for man not to be born than to be born, but now that he is born, let him look into his actions’” (Eruvin 13b). Indeed, if an alien were to land on Earth and look at us, it would probably say, “The pathetic humans bump into each other, ridicule and humiliate one another, and do everything they can to ruin each other’s lives. No wonder they are so depressed. Why did nature create such miserable beings?” Suicide is the extreme consequence of a series of problems that afflict people to the point where they decide to end it all. But even before these problems become too much to handle, they make us ask about the meaning of life. After all, if life is only about survival through ordeals, then it is indeed better not to be born than to be born. The thing is that when we begin to ask questions about life, or as the sages wrote, “look into our actions,” we begin to grow. Pain leads to spiritual development that lifts us to realms we would not have dreamed existed, and we would not have searched for them were we not forced by pain. The key to these new realms lies in fostering positive connections among people, in emerging from the mindset of alienation and narcissism we have so devoutly nurtured until now, to find that when we sympathize with others, we gain rather than lose. We win new perspectives and new ideas, new wisdom and knowledge, and new friends. By changing our attitude to others, we change our world. Moreover, by choosing who we bond with, we shape and reshape our world with every new acquaintance. In this way, no world is too harsh to live in, since we can always change the people we connect to, and in so doing, change our world. Also, there is no end to the insights and knowledge we can gain since there are always more connections to make than we can establish in our lifetime. And best of all, when we connect with other people, we attune ourselves to our surrounding reality, which is already connected and would have worked in perfect harmony if we, humans, did not disrupt it. The more we develop positive connections, which aim to support and nurture rather than depress and oppress one another, the more we expand our perception of reality. We find that the reality we have known until now was only a “corridor” to a deeper and more expansive perception. If we want people not to take their own lives, we must give them a reason to live. When people understand what life is for, they will have a purpose to go through life’s trials and tribulations. As Nietzsche wrote, “He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” Therefore, our task today is to reshape our connections in order to reshape our world. The world reflects our attitude toward others. If we jointly transform our attitude toward others from abusive and aggressive to considerate and caring, the lives of all of us will change, as well, from a losing battle to a smooth and pleasant ride. It is really up to us.
