The Beauty of Snowflakes

The start of the week was very snowy. It was a perfect time to talk about snowflakes. We read some books and learned that snowflakes have 6 branches and no two snowflakes are alike. Pattern blocks were used to create our own ideas of the beautiful white fluff that falls from the sky.

Here are our thoughts:
I made a spinning snowflake. I like my spinning snowflake. -Ryder

It's fitting that we are ending the week just as it began with gently falling snow. It certainly is going to be a white Christmas! Have a great weekend everyone.
