We read the
book Snowballs by Lois Ehlert. In this book a
family looks forward to the first big now of the season. The
children save things all year long to decorate their snow
family. It finally snows and the children and parents build a
snow family in their yard.
The 2nd
grade students used Storybook Weaver, Microsoft Paint and
Microsoft Word to write and illustrate stories about the book.
As a culminating activity they made snow families using the
recipe for Rice Krispy treats. The Krispy Snow people were
decorated with M&M's, and two kinds of licorice. They were
delicious!

In the
story "Snowballs" they made snowpeople and they were really
funny. There was a snowdad, a snowmom, a snow son, a
snowdaughter, a snowdog and a snowcap. They were decorated with
so many different things. They were decorated with popcorn, nuts
and strings.

In my
class we read a story called Snowballs. The story is about snow,
but the story is mostly about snowballs and making a snow
family. They made a snowman dad, and a snowman mom. They also
made a snowman boy, girl, dog, and cat. The snow family was
decorated with popcorn and other nice stuff. Some birds came
flying by and ate all of the nice stuff that they could eat off
the snow family.
