Week 2 - Let it Snow!

First, if you did not see the district homepage, your kids are "famous"!  Someone sent our blog to the central office and they published an article and some pictures of our book club on the district site.  If you haven't checked it out, you can still view it on the district homepage. Just scroll down through the district news. Thanks to the parent who gave us press!

For 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.  The students noticed that is was a rhyming book, and by the end, they were reading along with me.  For our art project today, we made snowmen who were guaranteed to not melt.  See you all next week.
