The Snowy Day {FREEBIE}

The Snowy Day Ezra Jack Keats is one of my favorite books to read. It is a sweet, simple story about a little boy who wakes up to the ground covered in snow. It talks about what he does during the snowy day. It is a great way to get kids thinking about what they would do on a snowy day. It is also a great book to do a lesson on cause and effect. I created these FREE activities for you to use in your classroom.

I created this anchor chart that can be laminated, saved and rewritten every year. There are 4 different events from the story and students determine what the effect of those events are.

I also made a little emergent reader about snowy day activities where students can read, answer yes/no questions, and color. On one of the pages, I asked if you could go swimming on a snowy day. I assumed the answer would be no. One sweet pumpkin raised her hand and said, “My mom takes me swimming every Saturday, even when it snow.” Oh, right, the INDOOR pool. Now, I doubt she actually went on a snowy day because it has only snowed one time this year.

Finally, there is a sheet where students can do a text to self connection. What did Peter do on a Snowy Day? What can students do on a Snowy Day? You can find everything you need to teach this lesson FREE HERE.
