Catching Snowflakes!

This morning was absolutely fantastic, and it was completely accidental!

We were discussing snow, snowflakes, and how to catch a snowflake.  Grade Two students remembered how we caught snowflakes last year, and also that we had to wait over a week for it to snow.  We decided that as soon as it snowed again, we would head outside to catch (and study) snowflakes.  And then it happened...

It started snowing! Big, heavy, wet, snowflakes fell from the sky today AND they fell straight down because there was no wind!!! It felt like a miracle!

We headed outside with our black paper and magnifying glasses and caught snowflakes. We caught, we looked, we caught them on our tongue.  We had a fantastic day!
