Winter is Here!
Winter activities for Winter Break!
This newsletter is packed with engaging lessons and videos about snow and everything to do with winter. Over break we hear parents are always looking for something for the kiddos to do. These activities and lessons will keep the kiddos engaged while learning while they are home. I have attached plenty of resources for you.
I hope everyone has a great holiday season!!
Winter Break- 12/23/24- 1/3/25
🌨️ “I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says 'Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.'” - Lewis Carroll
🧣 Learning About the Season
What Makes Winter, Winter?
- Here's a post from National Geographic that explains what a season is, and describes seasons in different parts of the world. It's a resource for 6th - 12th.
- From Education World, a great list of winter-themed resources, across all subjects and ages (and it's not too overwhelming!)
- Here's a really cool list of science experiments for winter. No cold and snow where you are? No worries. A freezer will suffice :)
Lessons & Activities about Snow & Ice
Here's a great snow day resource to either send home to parents, or just use with students, yourself! It's chock full of easy, engaging activities, from literacy to science.
