Suggested Activities to go with the book:
In the book, snow plows are used to clear the streets. Show your child
how the letters 'ow' can make two different sounds when at the end of
words, as in snow and plow. You can use the ow family worksheets for
this:
words that rhyme with snow, and
words that rhyme with plow.
Make a Snow picture. Use dark blue construction paper and white liquid
shoe polish (the kind in the bottle with the foam applicator). Let them
paint snow flakes by pressing the foam applicator onto the construction
paper.
Memory Verse: Psalm 147:16
Several different modes of transportation are discussed in Snow
Day. Discuss with your child all of the different forms of transportation.
Make a transportation
book. You can print and color this one, or you could cut out pictures
from magazines and make your own.
Read the book, Snow is Falling, with your child. This book explains
how all snowflakes are different and how snow is beneficial. If possible,
go outside while it is snowing and catch some snowflakes on a cold sheet
of dark construction paper. Examine the snowflakes closely to see how
they are different from each other.
Show your child how to cut a snowflake. Decorate a room with snowflakes!
Make
Sno Cones.
