    Snow
    By Mr. K

    Clip to ScrapBook
       
    I usually do a Snow Day at School later in the winter, especially if we have not had many real snow days. We:

    read comprehension passages dealing with a snow theme
    have a measurement olympics (standing snow boot jump, scarf area/perimeter, marshmallow grab)
    use thermometers to practice reading degrees
    write math facts or spelling in shaving cream on the desks (last year, I covered a big floor area with a paint drop and put blue butcher on top. The kids sat on the floor and wrote their words...easy clean-up)
    we do the snowball fight
    we have a winter picnic...white foods only!
    I read the book Snow Day
    I read Snowflake Bentley, we make snowflakes and talk about symmetry
