Kindergarten Snow Suit Designs

We recently read the book Thomas' Snowsuit by Robert Munsch. It was a very funny book. Afterwards we traced templates to make our own snowsuit kids. What do you think of our designs?

The Mitten...

We read two versions of the story, THE MITTEN. One was written by Jan Brett and the other by Alvin Tresselt. We compared how the two stories were alike and how they were different. Then we brought in our own mittens. We guessed how many Uni-Fix cubes might fit inside our mittens, then we stuffed the mittens with as many cubes as we could. We dumped them all out, grouped them into 10's & 1's and found out our totals. It's amazing how many of those cubes can fit inside a mitten. ;-)

Take a look at us working nicely with our partners:

Making SnowPeople...

We were inspired by the video "The Snowman" by Raymond Briggs. In the video, a young boy made a wonderful snowman.


We used tons of scraps of paper that we've saved all year to help us get very creative with our designs for making snowpeople. Take a look at how hard we worked to create some really nice snowpeople.

Check back soon to see our finished snowpeople!

Stuffed Animals and Hot Chocolate...

We've had an unplanned winter break. The weather turned wickedly cold and school has been closed for several days. The wind chills were near minus 20 degrees. OUCH! Before our little "break" we had our "Stuffed Animal Day". This was actually postponed from just before Christmas when we had yet another bad winter day. Anyway, we all brought one of our favorite stuffed animals to school. We drank hot chocolate and watched a movie. It was fun. Take a look at the animals we brought to school:
