A Little Snow is better than none at All!
On yesterday, our Pre-K 1 class was more than excited to see snow finally fall from the sky this winter. Although it was light, and only a little bit of snow, it was better than no snow at all.
The class started the snow day by going outside and attempting to catch tiny snowflakes on their tongues. Many of them assumed it would be the easiest thing to do, but soon found it was much harder. Somehow they tiny tongues kept missing the snowflakes.
Once that fun was over, they all joined together to read the book, The Snowy Day! In the book, the main character, Peter experienced his first snow day. Peter figured the snow would be all gone by the next day, so he decided to keep a snowball in his pocket. By the time Peter got to bed, the snowball had melted and he was sad, but the snow was still around the next day!
Our Pre-K 1 friends loved the book, and all really hoped to have a big snowy day like Peter soon.
To end the snow day, our friends did a craft, creating their own melted snowballs or snowmen! This was a messy blast! Everyone loved it! I'd have to say, this has been one of the best snow days ever.
