When we chose to
participate in the Frosty Readers project, we were dreaming of snow. We
live in South Carolina, which doesn't get to see too much snow. That's
why we decided to read the book Dream Snow by Eric Carle.
Students wrote in their journals about what their "dream snow"
would be like.
My Dream Snow
If I could have the
snow I wanted, it would be ten feet tall. It would be the biggest
snow you have ever seen. We would have a door at the top of the
house. We would make the biggest snowman you have ever seen. We
would make snowballs the size of watermelons. We would have a big
snowball fight. That's what my dream snow would be like.

Dream Snow
My dream snow would be
silver snow and rainbow colors. And they would be the biggest
snowflakes ever. It would be 10 feet high every time it fell. If you
ate some it would taste like skittles and Mountain Dew. The icicles
would taste like chocolate fudge. And last, it would be kind of warm
so nothing on my body would freeze to death.

Snow Dream
My favorite snow dream
would be snow piled up to the windows. I wish the snow could be
rainbow colored with my favorite colors - blue, purple, yellow, and
green. I wish I could make candy out of the snow. I wish it would
snow so much that I didn't have to go to school for two weeks.

Dream Snow
One day, I said...dream
snow, I wish you came every day. The next day I said...dream snow, I
wish you were really high. The next day I said...dream snow, I wish
you were gold and silver. The next day I said...dream snow, I wish you
snowed inside. The next day I said...dream snow, I wish you snowed at
school. And the next day I said...dream snow, turn into real snow!

They had some very
interesting ideas! We later turned these journal ideas into magnificent
poems!

However, during our Frosty
project, we received 4 - 5 inches of real snow!! That is BIG news for us
around here. That's when we decided to compare real snow with our dream
snow using a comparison chart in Inspiration on the computer.
To wrap up our Frosty project,
we tried to illustrate pictures like we saw in the story Dream Snow.
We used KidPix Deluxe to create our drawings on the computers. Can you
guess what our dream snow covered up when it fell? Click
