We began by reading Dream Snow. A farmer falls asleep and dreams that heaps of snow fall and cover up his farm animals! The best part? Transparent pages with white "snow" on them, that can be lifted to reveal the animal underneath.
Then we got busy!
Each child secretly drew an animal, attached a transparent page, and covered the clear page in white paint to act as our "snow".
To waste white paint would be terrible, so we did an impromptu little spelling word practice to use up the leftovers:

| Everything is more fun when you make a silly face, including spelling! |
Then we turned our snow-covered animals into a bit of a guessing game! Since our animals were hidden by snow, we were challenged to write clues so others could guess our animals!
We followed the criteria carefully as we crafted simple sentences using many of our Word Wall Words (check out how we became sentence experts).
Now our clues and snow covered animals are holding up traffic in the hall ... everyone is enjoying our creative work!
Try these great clues! Can you guess what animal this is?
Any guesses? A pony!

All that snow this week may have been a hassle for the grown ups out there, but it certainly inspired our boys and girls!
