The Snowy Day

This week our whole class reading has focused on the book The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats.  It is a classic story about a boy enjoying his day in the snow.  On Monday I read the story but did not show all of the pictures.  Boys and girls visualized what those pictures would look like and drew what they imagined.  On Tuesday we learned that sometimes the long o sound is made by the letters "ow" like in the word snow.  On Wednesday we made a connection with Peter.  "Peter likes to ______ in the snow.  I like to ______ in the snow."  On Thursday we will learn about inferring...how readers use clues in the story to help them understand what is happening.  Peter had put a snow ball in his pocket.  We will write about what happened to it.  On Friday we will write our opinion of winter weather...do we like it snowy or sunny best?!
