Scholars listen to a read-aloud of fiction and nonfiction books, The Snowy Day, written and illustrated by Ezra Jack Keats, and Snow Is Falling, written by Franklyn Branley and illustrated by Holly Keller, then take part in four creative activities. Learners create a cut-paper collage, experiment to see how salt affects ice, make a snowflake crystal, and pretend they're animals waking up from hibernation to eat homemade ice cream.
