Hi All,
We hope the New Year is finding you well! We have been getting more snow than usual this month here at the Night Light Stories household. Having a 4 year old and 2 year old to bundle up to get outside takes some time and patience. Once we get out there though, it is worth it! There is a lot to do like snow angels, snow ball fights, snow forts, snow men and sledding. So many choices, so little time!
In other Night Light news, we were thrilled to have a local newspaper, the Loudoun Independent, do a story about us. You can click here to find the article about Night Light Stories.

JUST ADD IMAGINATION
Try these activities to keep your imagination glowing after hearing the story.1. Gather different size balls such as a golf ball, tennis ball, kick ball, soccer ball, football or any other type you can find around the house. Race two different balls down an incline at the same time to see which one reaches the bottom first.
2. Fill an ice cube tray with water and color the water with food coloring. You can use as many colors as you like. Freeze the ice cubes. Take them out and use them to paint a watercolor picture.
COMPREHENSION CHALLENGE
1. Why was the boy so excited to go sledding?

Miss Mel,
ReplyDeleteI just got a chance to listen to this story and love it! We actually went sledding recently as a class and they had such a great time. There were a few collisions, but that's all part of the fun! Thanks for another great story!
