We read "When
Winter Comes" by Nancy Van Laan. It told all about what Nature does
in the winter. After discussing what the plants and animals do, we
brainstormed the things that we like to do when the winter comes to our
hometown of Port Jefferson Station, New York and we can't play outside.
Now we would like to share some interactive writing that we did in class
to explain our ideas to you.
We love to
bake cookies on a cold day!

“Find a big bowl. Put in all the wet stuff and stir it up good. Then mix in the different kinds of sugar. Put in the dry white stuff like the flour. Put in the good stuff like nuts and chips. Put spoonfuls on a cookie sheet. Bake them in your oven. Eat them up…with cold milk!” |

Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies 2/3 cup butter

Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by teaspoons, 2" apart, onto greased baking sheets. Bake in 350' F. oven 8-10 minutes, just until edges are golden (centers will still be soft). Remove to wire racks to cool. Makes about 3 dozen cookies. Yummm....

We love to play in the snow and we know
many ways to do it, too!
This is what we wrote about our favorite snow games.
I lay down in the snow and look up at the sky. Then I move my feet and my arms up and down, and in and out like I have wings. And I slide my legs all ways to make a dress. When I get up, I see an angel in the snow. |
I build a fort with big hunks of snow like blocks. I am a good builder. I make big walls with one door and I go inside. It is too hard to make a roof but some kids can. |
I make a snowman. First I make big snowballs, really big. And two smaller. Then I put them up on top and make a face. And put on a hat. And it is a snowman. |
I like to find tracks in the snow like a hunter. But not a real hunter that has a gun. I look to see what was walking in my yard. Mostly it was me. |
