Blog #2...not too shabby! 
 
We are working on creating a unit on weather, storms and seasons for second grade.  It is a ton of work, but also super exciting.  I spend a lot of time looking for materials to use, which means lots of time on 2 of my fave websites: amazon and teacherspayteachers :)
 
I found this book, The Story of Snow by Mark Cassino.  It is a great non-fiction read about how snowflakes are formed.  It has great pictures and just the right amount of words.  Its tough to read non-fiction books aloud when they are super long.  I see the eyes of my kiddos glazing over.  This one is very good and I learned a lot of new info too!
 
My only boo-hoo is that I don't know if I will get to do this with my kiddos since we will be in the midst of language proficiency testing :(  BOO!!  At any rate, I thought it was pretty cool.
