Trapped in a Snow Globe... Write about it!
What would you do if you were trapped in a snow globe? Would you run in circles looking for a way out? Would you try to catch snowflakes on your tongue? Would you search for a friend, or would you simply snuggle in for a long winter nap? Talk with your family and friends to make a plan for your personal snow globe adventure. Remember, you are only limited by your imagination. Click the link to be directed to a complete snow globe writing plan and activity guide. See you there!
Winter Word Games
"Do you want to write snow words?" 🎵
The word "snowman" is a compound word, meaning it is made up of two words. Make a list of other compound words that contain the word snow. Each word is worth 5 points. Play with a family member or friend and see how many points you can earn! The winner and loser have to work together to build a snowman! Have fun!Living in the Community
