“I’ve never seen snow before. What’s it like? Sincerely, Jozefa”

How would you describe snow to somebody who has never seen snow in real life before?

Song: Winter Hokey Pokey

You put your mittens in, you take your mittens out
You put your mittens in and you shake them all about
You do the winter pokey and you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about

Other verses:
You put your boots in, you take your boots out
You put your hat in, you put your hat out
You put your coat in, you put your coat out

Brown squirrel, brown squirrel swoosh your bushy tail
Brown squirrel, brown squirrel swoosh your bushy tail
Wrinkle up your funny nose
Hold a nut between your toes
Brown squirrel, brown squirrel swoosh your bushy tail!
Brown squirrel, brown squirrel swoosh your bushy tail!

Hot cocoa

In a mug
When I’m feeling cold, I love to drink it up.

Glug, glug, glug

Scarf Songs:

Snowflake, Snowflake

Snowflake, snowflake dance around
Snowflake, snowflake touch the ground
Snowflake landing on my nose
Snowflake landing on my toes
Snowflake, snowflake dance around
Snowflake, snowflake touch the ground.

Way Up High in the Winter Sky

Way up high in the Winter sky (raise hands above head)
Two little snowflakes caught my eye. (point up)
Down they fell without a sound, (flutter hands down to the ground)
It was snowing all around! (turn in circle with hands fluttering)

Goodbye song: Goodbye friends

Goodbye friends,
Goodbye friends,
Goodbye friends,
It’s time to say goodbye.
