Snow Days

We came back to school on Friday of this week after a major snowstorm and three snow days. The boys and girls brainstormed all of the things they did during their snow days. We sorted our ideas by names of things (nouns) and words that told what we did (verbs). The students used this word bank on the SMART Board to write about their snow day activities. Everyone also created a snow picture to display with their writing. We tore white construction paper to make the snow covering the ground and then drew details with our crayons. Finally, they used white paint to show how the snow covered everything. Look for their writing on our website next week.

Winter

The boys and girls were given the letters e,i,n,t,w,r today. We built several words with those letters both on the SMART Board and with their individual letters. Then they were challenged to use all of the letters to make one word. It didn't take them long to build the word winter with all of the letters. Then they glued the letters on paper and made winter pictures. During writing we wrote about lots of things we like to do in winter. Look for those stories later this week.
