Winter is coming! And what better way to get excited for snowy weather than by learning about it with your students!

Since we don’t get a lot of snow down here in the South, we’re always fascinated by snowflakes.

The few times we see them are basically national events, at least in our family.

So I thought we’d learn a bit more about how snowflakes form, what makes them special, and toss in some other school subjects while we were at it.

All About Snowflakes is a printable early snowflakes unit study featuring math, language, writing, and science activities for students in grades K-2!

This unit study is a fun, hands-on way to add math, ELA, and science into a winter unit you can do with almost no prep at all!

This resource includes a two-page lesson on how snowflakes form, along with a symmetry practice activity.

Snowy-themed ELA and writing practice is also inside.

There’s also a snowflake-themed addition practice activity.

As well as art activities for early ages!

Answer keys are also included for each activity.

A good way to use this early elementary snow unit is to review the lessons together as a group.

Then you can decide which of the activities you’d like students to complete in class.

The activities are well suited to in-class work. But they can also be used as take-home assignments, particularly if you’re running short on time.

The snowflake math addends activity can be adapted for use at math centers.

With a little prep, you can include the answer key squares on a ring for self-checking!

And the Roll A Snowman art game is a fun activity for small groups!
