GEOGRAPHY:    Molly's address is listed as 467 Oak St, Jefferson, IL.     I suggest instructing your child to color the Illinois state map and indicate where Molly lives.  Then have them color in IL on the US map and indicate where on the map (if you live in the US) you live and where Molly lives.

Snowflake Bentley Briggs Martin, Jacqueline

http://belladia.typepad.com/bella_dia/2007/12/advent-day-1-sn.html

Teaching Ideas:
Using a camera and microscope, students could study and catalog different snowflake formations. (Teachers could check with local high school teachers about borrowing equipment for the project.) Students could also do research to learn more about Wilson Bentley using the web site below. The contrast between the narrative of the story and the more factual sidebars provides an opportunity to study writing styles. Pair this book with Snowflakes in Photographs by W.A. Bentley, a book of Bentley's snowflake photographs. web site: www.snowflakebentley.com/http://mercury.educ.kent.edu/database/eureka/detail_book.cfm?BooksID=519
