In a delightful twist, third-grade teacher Emily Johnson has created a viral sensation with her comedic parody of Adele’s hit song “Hello,” reimagined as “Snow.” Released just in time for Winter Storm Jonas, this video captures the essence of what snow days mean to educators. As the East Coast braces for snow, parents are left grappling with childcare challenges while teachers, on the other hand, are reveling in the prospect of a surprise day off.
While snow days can bring a sense of dread for parents—due to disrupted work schedules and the Herculean task of keeping kids entertained indoors—it’s important to remember the sheer joy it brings to teachers. After months of managing energetic classrooms full of restless students, a snow day offers a much-needed break.
In her parody, Johnson perfectly mimics the moodiness of Adele’s original track while showcasing her own impressive vocal talent. Set in her third-grade classroom, she reminisces about the pure delight of snow days from her childhood, now viewing them through the lens of a teacher. Her lyrics humorously outline the bliss of spending a day in pajamas, binge-watching Netflix, and enjoying a rare moment of peace.
Opening with a heartfelt plea for snow, Johnson sings, “Snow, it’s me/ I know we just got out for Christmas/ But I’m ready for some more time/ To myself, you see/ So if you could come a day or two or maybe 23.” She captures the chaotic reality of teaching during the winter months, revealing the challenges of keeping young students engaged indoors. “If it has to be so cold/ The least that it can do is snow/ If I have to keep my students inside/ One more time, for recess, I’m gonna lose my mind.”
I can relate to her sentiment. On a recent snow day, I found myself trapped indoors, mediating disputes over toys and attempting to bake without covering the kitchen in flour. It was an exhausting experience. This made me appreciate the incredible patience of teachers like Johnson who work tirelessly to keep our kids engaged, learning, and happy during the long winter months.
Let’s not forget the unsung heroes of our children’s education—after all, it’s not easy to manage a classroom full of antsy kids! This hilarious video makes me want to send a thoughtful gift, like a tray of cookies or a coffee shop gift card, to my kids’ wonderful teachers as a token of appreciation for their hard work throughout the challenging winter season.
Teachers, we salute you!
