Make a bagel snowman!
We have winter fever in our class, and Bagel Snowmen were the Snazzy Snack that we made and enjoyed!
Snazzy Snacks are simple "cooking" activities, layered with opportunities for language and math instruction (originally featured on Mrs. Bainbridge's blog). We make a snack each month. We enjoyed Applesauce in September and Monster Mash in October. Although we are a few days shy of November, we couldn't pass up the chance to build snowmen ... indoors!
First we gathered mini-bagels, cream cheese, chocolate chips, cheezies, and pretzel sticks. Next, students split their bagels in half and took turns spreading on some "snowy" cream cheese. Then, with just a few chocolate chips, pretzels and a cheezie, the bagels suddenly became snowmen! Finally, we munched!
We had a wonderful afternoon! Here are some highlights:

While this activity undoubtedly looks like lots of fun, there are many teachable moments and opportunities for learning. Thank you to those parents who kindly donated the ingredients for our Bagel Snowmen!
