❄️ First Grade Fun with Snowflake Bentley! ❄️
Last week, our first graders dove into the story of Snowflake Bentley by Jacqueline Briggs Martin! 📚✨ They learned about Wilson Bentley, the amazing American photographer and meteorologist who was the first to capture the beauty of snowflakes in stunning detail. ❄️📸
