The Snowy Day

Step into a world of quiet wonder with the timeless winter classic, "The Snowy Day" by Ezra Jack Keats!

Join little Peter as he puts on his bright red snowsuit and steps out into a city transformed by a fresh snowfall. From crunching footsteps and making "smiling" snowmen to the magic of a cold snowball tucked away in a pocket for later, this Caldecott Medal winner perfectly captures the silent, sparkling joy of a child’s first snow day.

In this video, children will learn about:

• Sensory Exploration: Describing the sights, sounds, and textures of a winter landscape.

• Cause and Effect: Understanding what happens to a snowball when it’s brought inside (a perfect intro to science!).

• Independence & Discovery: Following Peter’s solo journey as he navigates his neighborhood and his own imagination.

This read-aloud is a beloved staple for preschool and elementary classrooms. It’s the perfect companion for a lesson on the changing seasons, a "winter wonders" unit, or a cozy afternoon storytime by the fire!
