Ben and I have been learning about snow and snowflakes in our Olympics unit today. Of course, after we learned more about snowflakes we had to make some paper snowflakes. We each made several and most of them are hanging in the kitchen bay window. But we each chose our favorite, glued them to construction paper and hung them up on the wall. Of course, Ben had to have black construction paper so they his snowflake would look like a Snowflake Bentley photo :).
We watched several tutorials on how to cut snowflakes. You’ll find our favorite here.
Some of the books we read today include:
Snowflake Bentley by Jacqueline Briggs Martin
My Brother Loved Snowflakes by Mary Bahr Fritts
The Little Book of Snowflakes by Kenneth Libbrecht
