1-2-3 Come Do Some Snowflake Activities With Me
My kiddos absolutely LOVE snowflakes. The entire month of January, finds us in a flurry of snowflake-themed activities. I'm featuring two of our favorites today.
The snowflake word family craftivity packet, is a quick, easy and super-fun way to practice and review word families.
The activities are great for a whole group, independent center or Daily 5 word work.
Completed projects make a simple, yet awesome winter bulletin board .
Put the two word work posters in the center, then scatter students’ snowflakes on a blue foil background (I use wrapping paper.)
The packet includes:
* 4 large snowflake templates
* 70 snowflake word family cards
* A list of the 70 word families, with 987 word examples!
* A word family sentence worksheet
* A word family bookmark, which students can use to write word family words on the back, plus . . .
* A cover to make a word family booklet
Another snowflake activity that I think your students will enjoy is the 2D snowflake shapes game.
It's a quick, easy and fun snowflake matching game, with several ways to play.
Students can play independently as a center activity, or pick a partner and play a game. They match shape to shape card, shape card to shape card, shape to shape, or shape card to word card.
There's a "color the shape" spinner game as well. I often use these activities as an interesting and fun way to assess.
The featured FREEBIE for today, also has a snowflake theme.
If you're looking for an awesome winter bulletin board or fun writing prompt that your kiddos will get excited about, then this "snow" special family snowflake craft's for you.
It's a quick, easy and fun "homework" assignment, which even PK kiddos can do with the help of their families.
Completed projects make a lovely bulletin board. Suspend a few from the ceiling above the board for that finishing touch. Caption: "Brrrrr-illiant Work!"
Well that's it for today. Thanks for stopping by.
We have huge fluffy flakes gently falling outside my office window right now. PTL I don't have to shovel.
Wishing you a warm and snuggly day!

1-2-3 Count Winter “Stuff” With Me!
Are you looking for some quick and easy readers that also incorporate math skills and have a winter theme?
You’ve come to the right blog! The ever-popular 1-2-3 Come Count With Me booklets, have 3 suitable packets for winter: 1-2-3 Count Snowflakes With Me,
1-2-3 Count Snowmen With Me and finally, 1-2-3- Count Mittens With Me.
Click on the links to view/download the ones you want.
The booklets help students practice a variety of skills and standards, and are a fun way for children to learn or review, write, recognize and read numbers and number words.
- Students read, trace and write the number and number word.
- They see a number of "things" (snowmen, snowflakes, mittens) in a sentence and say it.
- They spy the number in a sequence and circle it.
- They X-out that many ten-frame boxes or use a bingo dot marker or stamp to fill them in.
- They cut and glue the set/group to the matching numbered box.
It only takes one time for students to need assistance and then they can work independently on their books.
Teachers can do one a week or month, depending on your themes or needs of your students.
They are great for Daily 5, something to do when students have finished their work, something to send home to do with parents, great for a sub folder or to send home with struggling students.
All of the packets include:
- At least 1 graphing extension
- Traceable-word wall word/number flashcards
- Covers for the flashcards to make Itty Bitty Books
- A "Plus one more" math skill sheet &
- A certificate of praise.
Thanks for visiting today. Feel free to PIN anything you think might be useful to others.
