WE DID:
As always, we based our activities off the Katy and the Big Snow lapbook over at Homeschool Share.
First, we mined our memories and wrote what we know about Katy. Then we used our imaginations to create our own characters!
The depth of the snow is a big deal in Katy, so we cut pieces of string that were as long as the snow was deep. Then we measured a bunch of various things in the house.

| We used Scrabble tiles to create words. |

| Our gluten-free, corn-free, snow-like sand was the perfect complement to our study! |
