I always like this book as a kid, but I wasn't sure if the kids at my storytime would enjoy it. But they did get engaged in the story! I had them walk with their toes in and out and then drag their feet like peter, then we talked about how snow melts when peter saves his snowball--and it worked out great. ( )

1.朝男の子が起きると外は一面の雪.
外に出て銀世界を楽しみ、帰宅後一日の冒険を母に話し眠りにつきます。
太陽で雪が溶かされてしまったと思ったらそれは夢、まだ雪は積もっていました。
子供のころ雪が積もるとうれしくて、外に飛び出し遊んだことが思い出されます。

2.The snow was still everywhere.

This is a fun story because everyone loves a snowy day. This would be a good book to read in the winter.

The book is about a boy named Peter, who wakes up one day and it is snowing outside. He goes out and plays. He does different things in the snow. Eventually, the snow melts later on. Then he goes to bed and wakes up with snow again.

This book is a great read aloud with great pictures. A little boy, Peter, wake one morning and spends the day in the snow. This would be great for a cold school day, weather it was snowing or not, because then the students could be wishful for snow. ( )

Peter wakes up one morning and everything is covered in snow as far as he can see. He puts on his snowsuit and heads out to explore. He makes tracks in the snow, climbs snow mountains, builds snowmen, and carves snow angels.

But when he wakes up the snow it still there. http://www.ezra-jack-keats.org/ is a great resourse for Keats' foundation.

A snow day. Little Peter goes out in his red snow suit to play in the snow. A little adventure that only snow can bring. ( )

This was a great book about a little boy who goes out one day and plays in the snow. He makes his own snowball, but as the day goes on, the snowball unfortunately melts.

The Snowy Day is a story about a boy named Peter who wakes up one morning to snow. Peter has a fun filled day playing in the snow. He walks around in the snow, makes snow angels, and slides down hills. He made a snow ball and put it in his pocket. When he wakes up in the morning the snow ball melted and he had a dream that all of the snow melted away. When he looks out the window he is happy to see that the snow is still outside. This is a great story for intermediate readers and the illustrations are beautiful!! ( )

This is a multicultural narrative book. It is about a boy named Peter and his adventures during a snowy day. When the day is over he goes to sleep and dreams the sun has melted all the snow, but he awakes to see snow still falling from the puffy white clouds. Have kids write about what they do when it snows.

The story is realistic and children could relate to Peter and his account of his snow day.

This book is about a young boy named Peter; he wakes up one day to find that it has snowed everywhere. As children love to do, he goes out in the snow to play, he makes foot print tracks in the snow, a snowman, a snow angel, and he just stays busy playing in the snow. He finally goes inside he goes to bed and dreams that the sun comes out and melts the snow, but when he wakes up the snow is still there.

I enjoyed reading this book, although it was just simple written it was fun. It made me remember when I was young and played in the snow, it brought back memories of me staying out too long in the snow and being really cold. This story is for sure a contemporary realistic fiction type, because all children can relate to this story of the time they went out to play in the snow, and can put themselves in the place of Peter in the story. The illustrations were nice, they were just plain and simple but fit nicely with the story, and they were double-paged pictures and took up the whole page, so it was also a very nice picture book.

A fun project for my class would be to have a foot printing session, where each student would have a chance to step in paint and then step on paper for making their very own foot print tracks like Peter did in the snow, so they could relate to the story. Another fun activity would be for the students to build their choice of a snowman or an angel using cotton on poster board, this too would give the class the opportunity of being involved, just without being in the cold snow.

"The Snowy Day" is about a boy named Peter enjoying a snowy day. He spent the whole day outside building a snowman, making snow angels, and sliding down hills. He even tried to put a snowball in his pocket and keep it but of course it melted. This is a fun story because every child loves a snow day.

'The Snowy Day' by Ezra Jack Keats is a story about a boy's adventures on a snowy day. Peter wakes up to a snow day and gets dressed for a day full of adventure. He makes snow angels and rides a sled down a hill. At the end of the day Peter makes a snowball and puts it in his pocket before going home for the night. His mom helps get him ready for bed and gives him a warm bath. Peter checks his pocket before bed and can't find the snowball as it has melted. The next day Peter wakes up and it is snowing again, he is very excited. This book is great for young students and teaching the seasons.

The Snowy Day has been one of my favorite books since I was a little kid. If you have ever played in the snow you know what it feels like to be Peter in the story. He does what every child wants to do in the snow on a snowy day.

I think this is a great book! Can be used anytime, perfect for winter. African American character. In Spanish or English. Good literature.

Genre: Realistic fiction because describes a situation that can be completely accurate while using fictional characters. Media: Collage ( )

Age: Primary
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Media: Ink and pen

This story falls into the realistic fiction genre becasue the events within the story could actually occur. We see Peter playing in the snow and the snowball he shoves in his pocket for later has melted by the end of the day. Students can connect to their own experiences with weather. ( )

Peter wakes up to find snow has covered everything during the night. After breakfast he walks through the snow, playing and pretending. As the day ends his adventure come to a close. Peter stuffs his pocket full of snow in attempts to keep a part of his day. Before bed, he checks his pocket to find the snow is gone. Peter goes to bed sad, but awakens to the discovery of a new snow.

The pictures in this Caldecott winner will capture readers’ attention. I loved the way the pictures look painted. The snowy Day is an all-time favorite and believable in its tone. I can see my children doing the same things as Peter on a snowy day.

I would read this story to my class to educate students on the differences of the four seasons. It would be an excellent book to read on the first day of winter. I would use this book as a tool to get students to think ahead during reading. I would stop reading the story at the point where Peter puts the snowball in his pocket. I would ask my students what they think will happen to the snow and I would ask them why they thought the snowball melted.

This story was about a young boy named Peter who loved Winter. He found many ways to play in the snow and even took a snowball home with him. When it was time for bed, he noticed that the snowball had melted and was sad. When Peter went to bed that night, he had a dream that the sun had taken away something that he loved more then anything..... snow.... But when he woke up he found out that it was just a bad dream, and new snow had fallen.

I really enjoyed this story. What amazes me is I remember reading this story as a child, and loved it then. I also loved reading this story, because it told of my favorite season winter. I, like Peter, love to play in the snow, and can find many uses on how to play in the snow.

Some activities that you might do with children would be make snowmen out of a child's footprints. When they are finished they can decorate the snowmen with construction paper, yarn, ect. Another activity that you might do with the children would be dressing in winter clothing, such as snow boots, hats, and scarfs and pretend that it is snowing outside and go play in the pretend snow. Children can also have snow-cones as a snack. ( )

“The Snowy Day” written by Ezra Jack Keats is a great story to read to elementary students during the winter. The young boy in the story, Peter, woke up one morning and the ground was covered with snow; Peter was so excited to see the beautiful snow. Throughout the day, Peter went on various adventures and explored outside. After a long day of playing in the snow, Peter went to sleep and dreamed about snow.
