Enjoy The Snow Day

Hello Room 103 Friends -

Mrs. Hoyt just watched a reading of the book, The Night Before A Snow Day and is wondering if some of you went to bed with pajamas on inside out last night to ensure a snow day?! Perhaps you would enjoy this story.  See link.

Mrs. Kerr and Mrs. Hoyt will miss everyone today.  It is a great day to do your retell of  The Mitten!

We hope you enjoy your new book, The Snowy Day.  It was sent home in communication folders yesterday. If you would like to watch it as a read aloud:


We also have learned to communicate some things using sign language, so here is the story presented via ASL! There are many fun activities of things you can do to expand learning with the book.  Here is a link to an article full of suggestions.   Our favorites include making snowy play dough and snowman on a stick!

You can also try these worksheets:
Dressing for the weather
Snowy Day Writing
Beginning Sound Match

We love to know about your adventures!  Will you bake, read, play some games? Be sure to help with the shoveling and clearing the cars!   Whether you get outside for some fun or stay in and play, send some pictures to share.  Perhaps you can write about what you do while at home today.  We will share and celebrate your activities by posting them on our blog!

Remember, tomorrow, Wednesday, December 17 we will have a winter celebration.  We will study the new Grace Lin Book, Big Bed for Little Snow.  Author Lin, was inspired to write and illustrated her book because she enjoyed reading The Snowy Day as a young girl!  We will learn about a Pine Glen connection to the book!

Students are invited to wear Pj's to school. Slippers are welcome too, but we recommend stuffed animals stay at home.  We will not need snow clothes as we will plan to have indoor recess and enjoy our pajama day!
