Not only are we learning about animals in Winter, but we are also exploring what people do in Winter.
We got our creative juices flowing when Mrs. Beliveau read Snow Day. In the book, a "snow day" is declared and kids must stay home from school! The children in the book do loads of fun seasonal activities, which became an excellent conversation starter for our class!
Then, Mrs. Beliveau promised we could do those Winter activities we just read about! Ski, sled, build a snowman, skate ... but how?
The boys and girls dressed in their warm woollies and posed as if they were doing a snowy activity. Can you guess what winter activity these kids are acting out?
Then students focused their efforts on writing a complete sentence about their activity,
chose a whimsical Winter background,
and glued their cutout with a few details in white to complete the picture!
Look at what we made!

| In winter I like to ... (a) play hockey (b) make snow angels (c) catch snow on my tongue (d) throw snowballs |
We sure do know what people do in Winter!
