 ~Snow Theme~
|
I'm a little snow person,
Short and fat.
Here are my buttons,
Here is my hat.
When the sun comes out,
I cannot stay.
Slowly I just melt away!
|
One
little, two little, three little snowflakes,
four little, five little, six little
snowflakes,
seven little, eight little, nine little
snowflakes,
ten little snowflakes falling down!

We read The Snowy Day by Ezra jack Keats.
Pass the Ice Cube.
(Tune: Row Row Row Your Boat)
Pass, Pass, Pass the Ice Cube
Pass it very fast.
Pass, Pass, Pass, Pass
How long will it last?
Sit in a circle and pass two ice cubes around as
you sing the song. The children will learn
their body heat melts the ice cube! The students
have a great time!
We
measure snowmen!
Students make 3D shapes and diagrams
using snowballs (marshmallows) and
toothpicks! The students get very creative!
Students play
Mitten Memory at the Puzzle Center!
Students
stamp snowballs at the ABC center!
Students lace a mitten and
color The Mitten
characters. I send these mittens home with the students
to encourage the students to retell the story to their
families!
We
estimate snowballs!
(small marshmallows)
We
make snowmen out of shapes!
 |
We add snowballs
to mittens to practice addition! When we
finish using our manipulatives,
students get to eat their snowballs!

Five Little
Snowmen
(To the
tune of: Six Little Ducks )
5 little snowmen went out to play
Over the hills and far away.
Out came the sun and melted one and
4 little snowmen came back that day.
(Repeat until you get to 0)
0 little snowmen went out to play
Over the hills and far away.
But soon the winter cold came back and
5 little snowmen came back that day.

Have a class snowball fight! I write letters on
paper...we crumple them up and throw them
around. When the music stops...the students
find a snowball, open it up, and read the
letter! For my students that are already
reading...I write sight words on their
yellow snowballs! When the music turns off
they know to find a yellow snowball.
We
sequence the stages of a snowman!
We make holes in
ice with salt! This is a great science
experiment!
I bought these snowflake
pointers at Michaels
for under a dollar each! Students use these
pointers to read the room!
We make
snowmen! We used 3 no bake
cookies...roll them in powder sugar...stick in
2 pretzel sticks for arms, a gumdrop for the
hat, red string licorice for the scarf and red
hots for the eyes and buttons.
