Today we read the story of Wilson Bentley, otherwise known as, "Snowflake Bentley." This man was a scientist and farmer who grew up fascinated by snow and the magic of all things in nature. He wanted to capture the beauty of a single snowflake and share that beauty with others. His entire life was devoted to doing so. Learn about him by visiting the website below.
To celebrate and share in his passion for snow, Mrs. Rebecca Kelly was kind enough to teach us how to create snowflakes of our own. Some of our more experienced students did a wonderful job helping their peers with this craft, which involved a great deal of folding, cutting, and stapling in all the right places. Thank you to our helpers, and especially, to Mrs. Kelly!
