This week we enjoyed an Ezra Jack Keats classic: The Snowy Day. A story where a boy discovers and enjoys the wonders of a snowy day.
We read a lot about snowflakes this week. The Story of Snow was a great one! It talks about the uniqueness of each snowflake, how they are formed, and has wonderful close up photos and illustrations of snow crystals. The kids loved this!
We made our own snowflakes with coffee filters. We had so much fun and they thought it was absolutely magical!
In this snowflake of Benjamin’s, he commented that it looked like Peter’s (the boy’s name in the story) snowsuit. He was right! I love when they make those observations – I never would’ve noticed.
We talked about Psalms 90:12 and how only God knows how many days we have here on earth, so we must make the most out of each day, enjoy the wonderful gifts He has provided, and live our lives in a way that is pleasing to Him.
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
We made forts and had an indoor snowball fight with socks.
I made snow dough and we made our own tracks in the snow with Legos, animals, and sticks
