Snow Day! In Florida?!

I feel like it's been forever since I have had a sec to blog.....I am soooo behind on reading blogs, but this last minute Christmas crunch is consuming me...lol.  So much left to do, not ever enough time! 

Thank the Lord Friday is almost here:)

My kiddos are getting anxious and a little giddy for Christmas break BUT we have kept up the academics and structure to keep my little elves in check;)  I have promised them that we will have a "snow day" next week.  I'm planning on doing some stuff from last year and adding a few new things....all things SNOW:)

I asked for a show of hands yesterday and there are at least 8 of my kiddos who have NEVER seen snow:(

So sad:(  

Our snow day will start with this:

This is the start of a cute anchor chart....

MY DAUGHTER MADE IT.....SHE'S HOME, SHE'S HOME!!!! 

I'M SO HAPPY!!!!

ok.....focus.........

The kiddos will be brainstorming some adjectives to help them prepare for a snowman writing activity.

Once this guy is filled out, they are going to write about 

"The day their snowman came to life"

After they write their narrative, they draw with chalk and love this:) 

While they are writing, they are gonna be snacking on this:

I made these last year and they were a huge hit!

It is a snowman in a bag snack:)  Super fun!

You can get the recipe from Gourmet Mom on the Go Here.

I found these cute napkins and cups at Dollar Tree!  They fit right in 

with the theme of the day:)

My daughter and I are gonna have a little craft day and make up a big batch of 

Snow Playdoh!

You can read more about that here and get the recipe to make it:)

Of course there will be lots of snowy read alouds:)  You can never get enough of those:)  

My kids love to be read to! 

During Math Workshop and Daily 5 we will also be doing "snow" activities:

We might even squeeze in a snowball (paper) fight;)

I also want to make some super cute snowman ornaments that Lisa from Fourth and Ten made:)

Pop over to her blog to take a peek:)

Now I'm off to Pinterest to see if I can find some more ideas:)))

If ya have any suggestions, pop me a comment:)
