Grief Is Like a Snowflake Discussion Card Extension Activity. Story written by Julia cook

  This resource is a quick and easy companion to the book Grief is Like a Snowflake by Julia Cook. It is a collection of discussion cards to use with your students after reading the story. Just print and use with no prep and no other work involved. We’re all short on time and having a handy no prep list of meaningful discussion questions to accompany story time with such a sensitive topic is always a great time saver. You will be able to focus your attention on the child(ren) and not WHAT you are going to do for the lesson. There is no lesson plan to read through, or other work to be done. I like to place the cards in a pile and have volunteers come to the front of the reading rug and choose a card. Having them read the card to the class is a great way to continuously promote literacy skill and practice.

  Hopefully this can become a springboard for meaningful conversations about death and grief.

This product only has discussion cards.   

  Laminating and putting them on a ring to store with the book is a great way to stay organized and save space! Turn them into a booklet for even more fun! (Kids love booklets!)

With Love,
