In week two we read two timely books on snow. We read a book called Snow Day by Lester Laminack and The Snowball by Jennifer Armstrong. The first book was about students watching a ton of snow fall outside their window while planning all the fun stuff they were going to do on their snow day. They were going to go sledding, build a fort, make snow angels, and have a snowball fight. When they woke up the next morning, they already heard kids outside their window. Thinking the neighborhood kids got a jump on them, they looked out the window and realized the kids had on their backpacks, and all the snow from the night before had melted. They stumbled around the house trying to get out the door and not be late, especially since their dad was the teacher.
The second book was about a rogue snowball that picked up things and people in its path. We talked about what would happen if we got snow this week, and I had them do their "happy snow day dance" if school is called off (see pic below). For our art project today, we made snowmen who were guaranteed to not melt. Some of the pics are a little blurry. My second grade photographer daughter took them, but she works cheap:)
We have a long break before I see all of your children again. Our next session is January 21. So, I hope everyone has a peaceful holiday season.
