Anyone have a snow day today? We didn’t but it unexpectedly snowed here for awhile. It was the pretty white powdery snow. This fun digital snow day provides jokes, literature read aloud links, comprehension activities, a movement break, math activities, phonics activities, language activities, a writing activity, and more. With the winter excitement, this themed day will engage your learners and be perfect for online meets and assigning digitally. You could also use this together in person as an activity to complete on a SMART board or interactive board. #snowday #snowthemeday #digitalactivities
