3 Name: Number: Looking for Winter What are the Clues? Listen Look Touch Smell In the winter I like to 3

4 Looking For Winter: Snowflake Write 6 adjectives that describe snowflakes and then use each word in a complete sentence. Adjectives Write each adjective in a complete sentence

5 Snowflake Senses Directions: Use your senses to describe a snowflake. Snowflake Draw Your Own Snowflake smell: feel: color: look: Use the words you wrote to write a describing snowflakes. 5

6 Name: Number: Adding Snowflakes Wintery Word Problems Read the word problems. Write the number sentence in the snowflakes below each problem. Solve. 1. Two snowflakes land on your tongue. Six snowflakes land on your eyelashes. How many snowflakes do you have in all? + = 2. Jeff ate 7 snowflakes. Gabriela ate 4 snowflakes. How many more cookies did Jeff eat? + = 3. You catch 12 snowflakes in a jar and eat them. Jeremy eats 9 snowflakes. How many snowflakes do you eat all together? + = 6

7 4. The snowstorm was fierce. Six snowflakes landed on Marco s window. Eight snowflakes landed on Marco s ledge. How many snowflakes landed in all? + = 5. Six slimy snowflakes melted on the sidewalk. Sixteen soft snowflakes melted on the stairs. How many total snowflakes melted? + = 6. Elizabeth kicked four snowflakes. Her sister kicked 15 snowflakes. How many snowflakes did they kick all together? + = 7. Jeff ate 7 snowflakes. Gabriela ate 4 snowflakes. How many more snowflakes did Jeff eat? + = 7

8 Snowflake Science Snow is more than frozen rain. One snowflake is made up of over 180 billion molecules of water. 180 billion molecules is a lot of molecules. If 180 billion dollars were stretched end-to-end, they would go around the earth over six times. That is a long way. Snowflakes form when the temperature in clouds drop to 32 degrees and water vapor freezes. At 32 degrees, the vapor turns to ice crystals. It does not turn to water first. When the water vapor freezes into crystals, the crystals attach to each other and snowflakes are made. That is the trick for snowflakes. Vapor, or gas, straight to ice! Put another way, snowflakes begin as water vapor. The vapor is like the steam from a hot cup of cocoa. It attaches to specks of dust. It freezes. The frozen drops, or crystals, grab onto each other. When they become heavy enough, they fall to the ground as snowflakes. Most snowflakes are six-sided because of the way the crystals fit together. Snowflakes fit into six categories. Stellar Plates Sectored Plates Stellar Dendrites Capped Columns Hollow Columns Needles The six categories can be divided into two classifications: plates and columns. Plates Columns 8

11 Name: Number: Read Along Research Mittens: Mittens cover your whole hands. They are warmer than gloves. Mittens have a large section for your four fingers. They have a smaller section for your thumb. Gloves have five sections. This is one section for each finger. The way mittens are made, with only two sections, make them warmer than gloves. Mittens allow your body heat to keep your fingers warm. When your fingers touch each other, they stay warm. Your body is heating itself. Mittens protect your fingers from cold by holding in the heat your body makes. Mittens appear in writing as long ago as 440 BC. That is over two thousand years ago. Soldiers, knights and even queens and kings, wore mittens. Knights wore mittens made of metal. Sometimes they wore gloves under their mittens. Queens wore mittens made of fine fabric and fur. Other people wore mittens made of animal skin or fabric. Mittens are made of different materials. The material used to make mittens depends on what mittens will be used for. Think about it. If it is really cold, you need wool or fur or some other warm material. If it is raining, you need a material that will keep you dry. People who study history are called historians. Historians say mittens probably come from Northern Europe. It is very cold there during the winter. From there they spread south. Now mittens are found all over the world. Even here in the United States. 11

12 Instructions for Helping Hand Paragraph on Mittens: Write a paragraph on the non-fiction passage you just read. Use the Helping Hand format for your non-fiction writing. Copy your paragraph onto the mitten. Decorate your mitten. The Helping Hand Paragraph A Template for Grades K-3 Helping Hand Paragraph 1. Finger one: I am the main sentence. I am the come and see what I wrote sentence! 2. Finger two: I support finger one AND I m the idea for the first sentence in the second paragraph. I answer: who, what, when, where and/or why. 3. Finger 3: I m detail about sentence one AND I m the idea for the first sentence of the third paragraph. I answer, who, what, when, where and/or why. 4. Finger 4: The great and powerful Pinky. I m the circling in of the last bit of detail! 5. Thumbs up for a squasher final sentence! I sum up the paragraph, smushing it in for home! 12

16 Extension Activity If you are ever in a snowstorm Put a piece of black construction paper into the freezer. Leave it there for about one half hour. Take it out. Bring it outside. Let snowflakes fall on your frozen paper. Examine them with a magnifying glass. Diagram what you see! 16

17 Name: Number: Use the numbers in the snowman to create a number sentence in the snow clouds. 17

20 Snowflake Science Snow is not frozen rain. It is water vapor that turns to ice. Water vapor is like the steam from a hot cup of cocoa. Sometimes there is a lot of moisture in the air. When this moisture is in the form of vapor, and hits super cold clouds, it freezes. The cloud temperature perfect for snowflakes to form is 32 degrees. This is the freezing point. The vapor rises naturally. It gets tossed around in the super cold clouds. It freezes before it turns to liquid. This is important. It must freeze before it turns to liquid to make snow. The vapor freezes around specks of dust. The dust is very small. It cannot be seen by the naked eye. The frozen vapor and dust make ice crystals. The ice crystals attach to each other. When enough attach together, they get heavy and fall as snow. Most snowflakes are six-sided. This happens because of the way the crystals fit together. Snowflakes fit into six categories. They are listed below. Stellar Plates Sectored Plates Stellar Dendrites Capped Columns Hollow Columns Needles The six categories can be divided into two classifications: plates and columns. Plates Columns 20

21 Name: Number: Read Along Research Mittens: Mittens cover your whole hands. They are different than gloves. They are warmer than gloves. Mittens have two sections each. Gloves have five sections each. Mittens do not separate your fingers. This helps your fingers stay warm. They stay warm by heating each other. This is called body heat. Mittens allow your body heat to keep your fingers warm. When your fingers touch each other, they stay warm. Your body is heating itself. Mittens have been around a long time. They were used as long ago as 440 BC. That is over two thousand years ago. All types of people wore mittens. Knights wore mittens. Soldiers wore mittens. Kings and queens wore mittens. Even regular people wore mittens. Sometimes, knights wore mittens made of metal. They also wore gloves under their mittens. Queens wore mittens made of fine fabric and fur. Other people wore mittens made of animal skin or fabric. Mittens are made of different things. What is used to make mittens depends on what mittens will be used for. Think about it. For cold, you need wool or fur or some other warm material. For rain, you need a material that will keep you dry. You need different material for different uses. Do you have mittens? What do you use them for? 21

22 A Flurry of Math an Interactive Flurry of Fun! Copy one snowman from page 23 for each of your students. Sequentially number the snowmen. Put a math problem on the front of each snowman and the same math problem solved on the back of the same snowman. Make sure your problems align with ones you are currently studying in math. When your students are out of the classroom tape one snowman to each desk. To play, have students put their names on a piece of paper. On your signal, have students stand (and tuck in their chairs if they are not attached). When you say Flurry! they float like a snowflake in a snow flurry to another desk, write the math problem (on the snowman before them) onto their paper and solve. When you say: check, have them correct their work, redoing mistakes. Continue until students have completed the desired number of problems. Students love this kind of practice. a. I do this game with standards test practice as well changing the snowstorm to some other seasonal reason to scramble up! 22
