6B has enjoyed our current discovery unit on winter. The activity above provided visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile learning experiences. Students listened as I read aloud "Snow Music" by Lynne Rae Perkins. They looked at the pictures and then participated in a class discussion after the story was complete.
We discussed the types of prints you can make with your feet in the snow. We demonstrated foot prints as we walked around the classroom, then brainstormed how we could make a straight line rather than foot prints? Students worked in groups practicing different techniques. We decided that the two most efficient ideas were to drag your toe or heel in the snow as you walked. One of our favorite prints to make when it snows are snow angels! All of the students laid down on the carpet and showed me their very best snow angels before we transitioned to our tables.
At the tables we used q-Tips and paint to create our very own snow globes that captured the essence of winter fun!
Bravo friends!
