Snow

Welcome back!
This week we will begin our unit on SNOW. Here are the theme concepts for this unit:
  • When it is very cold, sometimes it snows instead of raining
  • Snow comes from the clouds
  • Every snowflake is different
  • Animals and people need protection from the cold and the snow
  • Some animals hibernate during the winter months
  • Tools and machines keep us safe when it snows such as shovels and snowplows
  • There are many ways to enjoy the snow
  • When the temperature gets warmer, the snow melts
