Let it snow! Join us for lots of snow fun! In this class, we will read the book The Snowflake Mistake by Lou Treleaven. We will start the class getting to know the learners. The teacher will read the book aloud and will elicit class participation. Learners will have the opportunity to read onomatopoeia (sound words) found in the book. During and after the read aloud, the teacher will discuss the book with the students and ask for their opinions about the read aloud. After the read aloud, the teacher will guide the students in the process of making paper snowflakes. Students will be given a few minutes to decorate their snowflakes. At the end of class students will share their snowflakes with the rest of the learners and with the teacher. If time allows, students will watch the video Where Do Snowflakes Come From? on YouTube.

Even though I live in Florida that has a very tropical climate, I love snow! I have had the opportunity to play in the snow several times and it is my very favorite thing to do. I have taught science for over 15 years. Every winter, I teach my students how snow forms. It is one of my favorite topics to teach.Reviews
