We created a special snowflake unit in January and used this reource as part of that unit. Students loved the story Snowflake Bentley and it was nice to have a seasonal mentor sentence to go along with our special activities.

I love all the mentor sentences and vivid vocabulary packets. Although this book was a bit difficult for my class, they still enjoyed it! It just took us a bit longer to complete the packet.

So glad Jivey made a resource for this book for the upper grades! Such a robust reading and writing curriculum that you can't possibly fit it all in in a week! My students loved the story of Snowflake Bentley!

Loved these activities and the students absolutely loved the Snowflake Bentley book. Some of the language in the book is advanced and the book is on the longer side but it was a great winter activity for my class.

My students LOVE all of our mentor sentences, this one did not disappoint. This product tied into our Snowflake Bentley unit extremely well. Students try to guess the mentor sentence while I'm reading the mentor text. Will use this product each time I teach the Snowflake Bentley unit.
