Snowmen at Night

Last week, we read the story, "Snowmen at Night" by Caralyn Buehner.

Whenever we read a story, we always try to think about the story and how we can relate to a story.

First we asked, "What did the snowmen do at night?". Then, we brainstormed and thought of other things our snowmen might like to do at night. Here were a few of our ideas:

 


Next, students represented their own ideas in their journal by drawing pictures and writing some words. 

 

 

Finally, students got to make a special art project- themselves as snowboys and snowgirls! This project was not only fun, it also gave us a continued chance to build our language and understanding of snowmen. 

 

 

 

We knew that we used the big circle on the bottom, the medium circle in the middle and their faces on top. We also knew that each snowman needed two arms, a hat, a scarf, and 3 buttons. Before finishing, students at more details to their picture.

When reading books at home, trying asking your child questions about the story such as, "Who is in the story?", "What did they do?", "Where did they go?" and have your child draw some pictures!
