• We drank hot chocolate with marshmallows for snack.

​Songs We Sang

• We sang "Snow Happy" (sung to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It")

If you're happy that it snowed, (clap your hands)
If you're happy that it snowed, (clap your hands)
If it's fluffy and it's white, such a lovely, snowy sight!
If you're happy that it snowed, (clap your hands)
 

• We sang "What To Wear?" (sung to the tune of "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain)

 
I'll be wearing (two warm mittens) when it snows. (clap, clap)
I'll be wearing (two warm mittens) when it snows. 
I'll be wearing (two warm mittens) when it snows. 
I'll be wearing (two warm mittens) when it snows
I'll be wearing (two warm mittens) when it snows. (clap, clap)
