S is for Snow

Our week started the weekend before as we went on vacation to Big Bear and played in the SNOW!!! We talked that week about precipitation and all its forms but we focused on the most beautiful - snow. We used snowflake stamps to create a winter picture, and we made paper snowflakes.

Our book was A Snowy Day by Jack Ezra Keats. This book in all its simplicity was a huge hit! We loved reading about all the snowy adventures this little boy in the red snowsuit enjoyed. It was probably extra special since we had just enjoyed so many of these same snow adventures in Big Bear. We read other snow books including one that talked about building a snowman so our snack that day included marshmallows and peanut butter so they could build their own snowmen. It was just a few mini marshmallows and I didn't even get pictures as it was pretty much just a peanut butter mess, but it was yummy fun.

Our field trip this week is another S - Skirball Museum and Cultural Center
