Happy New Year friends! I hope you’re well rested from break and glad to be back! For our first Literacy Snack for the new year, we’re reading a snowy read aloud, The Snowy Day, by Eara Jack Keats.

It’s a wonderful book that captures the adventures of a little boy on a snowy day in the city. My favorite part of the book is when he puts the snowball in his pocket and comes to find it has melted away. I just knew we needed to have snowballs for our snack this week.

Ingredients

Powdered donut holes – I did 4 per student

That’s it, just donut holes but oh boy, we had a fantastic time talking all about snowballs and playing in the snow etc to go along with our snowy read aloud.  There were some pretty great stories considering we just came back from break.

Today's read-aloud is Bear Snores On. One by one, a whole host of different animals and birds find their way out of the cold and into Bear’s cave to warm up. But even after the tea has been brewed and the corn has been popped, Bear just snores on!
See what happens when he finally wakes up and finds his cave full of uninvited guests — all of them having a party without him! This is a great book to read to go along with your hibernation unit.
