Happy full moon Monday!! Did y’all realize that there’s a full moon today and we’re ending the week on Friday the 13th?! Should I just go ahead and call in sick now?! I’m sure y’all are all cozied up on the couch…in your Footed Hoodies…and drinking a few glasses of cabernet if your day was anything like mine :) HA!
We’re all ready to learn more about snowmen this week, so we started out by reading the story, “Snowmen at Night”. Now, if you were reading this little ol’ blog last year, you might remember this little writing craftivity we did after reading the story {inspired by Rachelle at What the Teacher Wants}.
I loved that activity…and so did the kids…but then I found this DARLING little guy on Pinterest…
Precious. Well, since we were writing about something we would do at night if we were snowmen, I used black paper instead and had the kids draw a little moon{ish} for their snowman to look at. The writing prompt was, “If I were a snowman, at night I would…”. I LOVE how different they all turned out!!!!!
We also made our symmetrical snowflakes this morning so that I could replace the Grinches that were still hanging from my ceiling :) This is always one of my favorite activities because it really helps me to see who struggles with the concept of symmetry and they ALL turn out DIFFERENT!!! Since we’ve been reviewing repeating and growing patterns, this was a great little closure activity to our learning.
Now, if you remember yesterday, I posted about this little gem of a snuggie…
Sweet Katie sent me an email today and said that I reminded her of Ryan Gosling in my little getup. Umm, say what?! I’m all over that….
Ya see. We’re starting a movement, people! You might wanna jump on board ;) All I gotta say is…
He's sooooo dreamy. Weird, but dreamy!

I am so grateful that we do not have school on Friday and that we get out early on Thursday. I know the kids will be crazy! They were crazy this past Friday! Them knowing that it was Friday the 13th would've only made it worse!

This is a great post!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this.
In the spirit of proper credit, which I know can be so hard to keep up with- I just wanted to pass along the link to my snowmen collage project which I believe is where Elementary Art room's came from, and mine was originally inspired by Painted Paper:
