SNOW!

We just had a big snowstorm so I planned this hoping to excite everyone about the snow!

BOOKS:




The Snowy Day, by Ezra Jack Keats-
This classic Caldecott winner captures the sheer joy of waking up after a snowfall.



Snow On Snow On Snow, by Cheryl Chapman
A young boy wakes up underneath blankets on blankets and blankets.  He ventures outside with his dog Clancy and enjoys the snow on snow on snow.  Help him find Clancy who's disappeared.



All You Need for a Snowman, by Alice Schertle.
It starts with just one snowflake but soon you have enough to build the perfect snowman!  Enjoy finding all that you need and then all that you need for the snowman's friend!



Shhhhh! Everybody's Sleeping, by Julie Markes
After all the fun in the snow it's time to rest.  This picture book takes a whimsical look at the different people in the community and how they sleep.

Five snowmen all in a row (put five fingers up)
With a big black hat and a pretty red bow (tap head and make bow around neck)
Out came the sun and it stayed all day(raise both arms for the sun)
One of the snowmen melted away (put one of the fingers down)

Four snowmen all in a row (put four fingers up)
With a big black hat and a pretty red bow (tap head and make bow around neck)
Out came the sun and it stayed all day (raise both arms for the sun)
One of the snowmen melted away (put one of the fingers down)

Countdown to One.....
