We started out by reading the book "Snowmen at Christmas"-- there is also "Snowmen at Night". I love having my kids write short stories about what snowmen really do at night! I use it on my bulletin board every year!
In math we had ourselves a little review over measuring the nearest 1/2 inch. Most of my kids had forgotten how to use a ruler! So it was a good review! We ended by having a little snowball fight. My kids were so excited to toss the paper balls around the room-- I may have even thrown a few myself :) You can find that activity here in my store. I also have an activity called "Snow Much Measurement" if you'd rather work on measuring the 1/4 inch! My kids just weren't ready for that yet!
Lastly, we worked on making some snowflakes using borax and hot water-- the recipe is down below. Hope it's useful!
Thanks for stopping by!
