Winter is SNOW much fun!

We have been bundled up this week, so we think for our little dusting of snow in Alabama. Winter is one of my favorite times of the year when it comes to teaching! It is so much fun.  There are so many interactive lessons, crafts, and maybe even some activities that include snacking :)

This week I incorporated a little snack into our lesson.  In my kinder class we were reviewing sequencing.  There are so many fun things that can go along this this lesson but yesterday we built our very own snowmen.  It was too much fun! I began the lesson by reading Sneezy the Snowman by, Maureen Wright.  (If you have not read it to your class you need to! I will also attach the link at the bottom of my post) We completed an anchor chart all together, then it was their turn.  They got to build their own snowman.


Materials: (Minus the Redbull) 


The students had so much fun.  When they finished building their own snowman they had to complete their own 'mini anchor chart'.  They used the words First, Next, and Last.  This was the way I was able to assess them on the material in such a fun way. (This will be included the in the Sequencing:Sneezy the Snowman product in my store)
