Homework for each day of snow is play outside! Run, build snowmen, have snowball fights, walk in the snow, look at your footprints, listen to the world around you, and generally just have fun!!
Choose 1 activity for each “snow day” we have. Cut out your choice and glue it to the top of a sheet of notebook paper. Then complete. 1. Take a picture of you playing in the snow or draw a picture of something you did in the snow and glue it to the top of a sheet of notebook paper. Write about it. Tell me everything I need to know. Be sure to include capital letters, periods, and good adjectives. Make sure your handwriting is very neat! 2. Get a ruler or tape measure. Pick 4 different places in your yard to measure the depth of the snow. Show it in centimeters and inches. Were all 4 places the same? Why do you think? 3. Think about SNOW and states of matter….As snow falls, it goes through all 3 states of matter….. What are they? 4. Do you like snow? Why or why not? Write your opinion of snow. Make sure to include your opinion, give reasons & examples, and a good closing. This week we completed our book reviews and recorded them using the iPads to create digital book reviews. Be sure to ask us if we recommended our book or not!
