A Unit on Winter

I have been keeping busy, putting together new and fun units for the kids. Since it has been so hot here these past few days,I decided to skip over planning the Fall unit and move directly to Winter, hoping it would cool me down. It did not happen.

Here is the unit. I am sure some things will be changed and some will be added, as usual.
