Snowmen Writing

After reading many different books about snowmen, we created our own mini snowmen and displayed them in a diorama. First we drew a snowy background and shaped it into a triangle/corner diorama.  Then we added sticks, buttons, beads and yarn to our white plasticine snowman to make each one special and unique.




Since the beginning of the new year, we have been working extra hard on writing and recognizing letters and the sounds they make.  Every day we work together on different shared writing pieces such as our Star of the Week story, story responses and Instagram posts, etc.

As we write, we do lots of talking and learning about what A Good Writer does.  Here are some of the things we have learned:

• Good writers skip lines
• Good writers put spaces between words
• Good writers say words out loud so they can write down the sounds they hear
• Good writers add details to their writing to make it more exciting
• Good writers write the date and their name

We used our snowmen dioramas to inspire our good writing.
