This is the second time we have Rowed this book. Lily and Aj love this story and the illustrations. Christmas time is a great time of year to read and complete activities related to the story.

We talked about where the story takes place. The kids guessed it was in New Hampshire. We also reviewed the New England States and they colored a worksheet.

The kids completed copy work about Christmas and they each copied a line from the story we read. Then Lily and Aj each wrote an Acrostic poem.  They also made collages from their new vocab words.

Fine Arts-(Pen and ink Drawing) 

We used a pen and ink to draw pictures of a forest. 

Mathematics- (subtraction)
Lily and Aj completed subtraction worksheets.

Science- (Weather, Field trip)

We went to the weather museum in North Conway,  NH. We learned about wind power, solar power and temperature. Lily and Aj also pretended to be a weather person on television reporting the weather.

Fine Arts- (Making Snow Flakes)

The kids used flour tortillas and scissors to make snow flakes. Then we baked them in the oven and added cinnamon and sugar, They ate them with a bowl of ice cream.

Physical Activities- The kids skied, sled and played outside.

Book station this month- We read many holiday books and books about winter.
