First graders in our class have joined Mrs. Wrigley's classmates in an in depth study of the book, Snowmen at Night. We have activated our schema and made connections to the story over the last week and have compared and contrasted it to, "Snowman All Year." Students retold parts of the story through an art project which resulted in a mural that lies between our two classrooms. Students worked together to create snowmen doing the various activities in the book, and created a background for them to engage in their winter sport. Inquire with your child about the story, asking them to re-tell the events and share with you how we worked together with grade one peers to create this special project. Thanks to Chris Lumbra for his dedication in helping us. Enjoy a few photos captured from our cooperative learning together...
