Snow Activities , plus a FREE file!

 Well, here in Arkansas, we have had a lot of snow.  I think the last I looked, we had about 7 inches fall in a day and a half!  Since I knew that the snow was coming, I was able to conduct some science lessons about snow and how a snowflake is formed. 

First, we read some books about snow and how it forms  Here are the ones I read to my 2nd graders. 

Next, we talked about the different types of snowflakes.  The Story of Snow describes dendrites, plates, and columns.  I used Hollie Griffith's The Story of Snow Read Aloud Activities & Comprehension for Winter with STEM.  She has a couple of STEM activities along with comprehension activities that my students love!

My students also LOVE directed drawing activities.  I like to use Art for Kids Hub on YouTube.  My students have completed several different pictures from this Youtuber.  I have taught my students how to use Google Classroom, so that I can just add, and they complete this when are finished with their work or, at the end of the day.  They always turn out AMAZING!

I also use my Snow Writing and Comprehension Activity Pack with my students. This pack can easily be used with any book about snow and includes specific templates for the books Sneezy the Snowman, The Snowy Day, and Snowmen at Night.
