Kids in Winter!

Our Winter unit in Science has been lots of fun!

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 many fun seasonal activities, which became an excellent conversation starter for our class!

Mrs. Beliveau promised we could do those Winter activities we just read about! Ski, sled, build a snowman, skate ... but how?

First, we brainstormed winter activities we enjoy doing. 

Then we dressed in their warm woollies and posed as if we 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 to complete the picture!

Look at what we made! 

We sure do know what people do in Winter!
