Is it snowing?

It isn't snowing yet!  I brought in a cattail one day and as the days went on the students started to notice that it was getting fluffy.  I took the kids outside and explained that the inside of the cattail had many seeds and when the wind would blow it, the seeds would spread and someday, some seeds would sprout into more cattail plants if the conditions were right.  On this windy morning, I swatted the cattail against the building and the seeds started to fly.  You can see the kids trying to catch them.  They thought it was great!  It was a fun way to learn about seed dispersal.
