THE SNOWY DAY

The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats is an award-winning classic winter read aloud that's perfect for Kindergarten and First Grade. Every winter I read The Snowy Day to my Kindergarten class, and we use these corresponding activities and craft to make the book come alive!

THE SNOWY DAY BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

The Snowy Day describes the adventures of  Peter on his snowy day. Peter is excited to wake up to a snow-filled world! He puts on his snow clothes and heads outside. He participates in many snowy activities, like making tracks, watching a snowball fight, and building a snowman. He even takes a snowball back into the house to play with later. Can you guess what happens to the snowball?

This book activities unit will enrich your guided reading curriculum as students develop their literacy experience and reading comprehension skills, while doing activities that are fun and engaging!

Students in Kindergarten and First Grade will work on essential literacy skills such as story elements, character traits, making inferences, problem and solution, making text to self connections, story retell, writing activities, recognizing cause and effect, reading comprehension, and MORE.
