Let It Snow!

Hello Everyone!!
Happy New Year!!!  My wish for you in this coming year is that you find some joy in every day!  I get so much joy creating hands on curriculum for young learners which will engage their hands and minds!! Today I want to share a little unit that uses snow and snowmen for inspiration.  My apologies to my Australian and other friends who are in the middle of summer right now, but maybe you can save this for another time in your year! :) This little unit is loaded with 80 pages of ELA, Math, and Science activities--whole group and independent, including my new favorite way to reinforce retelling!! Story Spoons!!! Take a look at some of what is included!


Lots of math games



Mystery Picture with addition and subtraction
Written Expression and hands on visual opportunities


Retelling practice
Mini Posters for Retelling

Story Spoons- Use for whole group
and Independent Retelling






 



Snowglobe Fun!!!





Tic Tac Snow!! Use jumbo marshmallows!

If you are at all interested in any of these and so much more, 
Yes! It's free!! (***as is everything I post!! Just let me know if you can use any of this or if there is something else you want to see!***)

Well, only a couple more days of winter break fun!! Stay tuned for my next little unit "Hot Hot Hot Chocolate!!"

Thanks for stopping by our frosty little 
Window on Wonder!!
Joyfully!

Snow Globes

Hello Everyone!  Do you know anyone who collects snowglobes?  Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live inside a snowglobe?  We read a wonderful story today called "Snowglobe Family" by Jane O'Conner.  The author portrays a family living inside a snowglobe.  The family wishes someone would come and shake the snowglobe so they could have a blizzard and maybe have some snowhills so they could go sledding!  Sweet story!
We decided to make our own paper snowglobes and use what we know about adjectives to describe what we would put into a snowglobe.  After creating the paper part and finishing the writing, I laminated the work to make the projects look like "real" snowglobes!  The kids worked very hard on these and really came up with some interesting things to put in their snowglobes!!  Way to go VIK's!

I love how these turned out!  Come by and see them hung up in the classroom!
Joyfully!
