Snowman Literature and Writing
We completed this as a shared writing activity. I left blanks for the students to review sight words. The students wrote on individual marker boards and had a chance to fill in the missing words.
We have connected our writing to lots of my favorite winter literature! I even have a snowman that glows in the dark. I turn it on when we read "Snowmen at Night."
Here is a sample of some of our "expository" writing. We are experts who know "how to" give instructions for others to follow!
how to make a sandwich
how to have a snowball fight
how to make a snow angel
how to make hot cocoa
We don't need this one often in Texas, but today was one of those days...how to stay warm on a freezing cold day!

Go to http://growingkinders.blogspot.com/ to see a picture. Look under Kathleen's post about "snowmen." I think the kinder teachers at my school got this idea from her! It's so adorable!

Winter directional art
Winter Directional Art
This is one of my favorites! I decided to use some extra pictures of my boys! I just didn't have the heart to cut off Solomon's double chin, and yes you can probably see that Christian has crumbs all over his face! But I still think these are so adorable! I added the coffee filter to give it some extra flair. The original project is actually "Eskimo" from the TLC "People" book. I usually make these with the students and then let them write about their favorite things to do in winter. We have also done a research project on Eskimo life. Not sure what we'll do after we make them this year, but I'll take pictures of whatever we do!
