Review: Perfect for 2nd Graders!!! - I just read this to my 2nd grade class and they were completely ENGAGED!! This book takes you through the process of how snowflakes are formed and the difference in formations. I had no idea they grow above clouds and stop forming once they get below clouds! My students were very fascinated with the text boxes with the actual size of the snowflakes, then seeing the magnified picture of them in the pictures. Best part? There is a terrific science experiment at the end of the book that’s ZERO PREP and SOOOO much fun!! All you need is dark colored cardboard (or card stock) and magnify glasses. It happened to be snowing the day we read this. We went outside to catch snowflakes on the card stock and look at them through the magnify glasses! They had the best time doing this!!!! They were able to identify the different types of snowflakes that they had learned about in the book, and count the arms. This is the perfect book for integrating several subjects for 2nd grade! Other related book recommendation: My students were also interested in whether the pictures in the book were real pictures or illustrations…. They’re real. This led to a teachable moment and an introduction into our next book. I teach in Vermont and we’re reading “Snowflake Bentley” next. He’s a famous photographer from Vermont who is known for being the first person to capture snowflakes up close on camera.
Review: Great book for K-6th graders - This is an outstanding book!! As a kindergarten teacher in Texas one has to be creative and engaging to teach our littles about snow. We don’t get to see it often! This book does an amazing job explaining how snow begins as a speak and then grows into a crystal. The text is simple enough for kindergarteners to grasp but could also engaging for students through elementary school. The images are wonderful and the simple sketches help tremendously. I can’t wait to share this one with my students when we return from Christmas break! It will make a great addition to our snow/polar animals unit.
