Directional Writing about Snowmen

I have not seen my students have as much fun writing this year! I started the week talking about snow and snowmen and then I asked my student to tell me how should I make a snowman. They loved giving me directions. After following their directions, I had drawn a beautiful snowman. This is when it was now their turn to tell me how to write about it and for them to make one giant snowman together. As the week went on, I had them keep writing about how to build a snowman until they were able to do this all on their own. Here is a picture of our class snowman!

I love his giant carrot nose!

This week we will doing all things Penguin (this is our class mascot), the kids are very excited to learn all about our friend Waddles!
