What an appropriate topic for a snow day! So far we have been out of school 2 days this week due to snow. Today I want to share an activity that we completed last week. Last week we read the book Snow Globe Family. It is such a great book about a little family that lives in a snow globe. This little family is waiting for the snow globe to be shaken so it can have a snow storm. When reading this book we focus on sequencing story events.
As a fun activity we write about "If I lived in a Snow Globe I would..." After the students finished up their writing I took their pictures pretending they were throwing a snow ball. I then glued them on the back of Chinet clear plates like the ones you see below:
We painted the back of the plates to look like we were in a snow globe. I used hot glue to secure them onto the construction paper. The students drew a base and secured their writing to the paper. Here is what they turned out like:
This week we finally got our very own snow:
My kids were so happy to finally be able to go use those snow boots they got in December for Christmas. They were out in the snow by 7:00 a.m. our first snow day. I sure have enjoyed the "catch up" time we have had, but I am definitely ready to see my students again! Happy Snow Day until next time!!!
