This lesson plan uses the book The Snowy Day to teach 2nd grade students about reading, math, and geography. The students will read the book together and count how many times the word "snow" appears. They will then color a map, marking where they think it snows in blue and where it does not in yellow. By comparing the student maps to pictures of real places with and without snow, the lesson aims to teach students about climates in different areas and how weather can vary by location.
