"And while the snow
is here
this brief moment,
let us take a walk
and see how beautiful
the world is"

Snow by Cynthia Rylant celebrates the beauty of snow... all kinds of snow...the soft snow, the heavy snow, the light snow, and the fat snow.  It also reminds us that snow is beautiful, but it can be brief.  That is how the snow has been for us here in Tennessee so far this winter.  Beautiful, but brief.  We all long for more snow and for the kind of snow that stays around for a while.  But until then, we are running out to greet the snow.  We are looking up into the sky and watching it gently dance through the air.  We are reaching out to catch it.  We are watching it slowly melt into our mittens.  We are walking through the snow and noticing our footprints as we go.   

After reading Snow, we made oil pastel and watercolor resist snowflakes that will help us celebrate the snow all season long!
