Where Children and parents can discuss their thinking, ideas and the world!
For the last couple of weeks, we have been learning about how to make different things or do different activities. In order to teach someone how to do something, we have to tell them what they need and then explain it in sequence or order. The words we use to sequence are first, next, then and finally or last. We have been sharing things we are experts at, from recipes to routines like brushing our teeth.
As we always do, there is no learning without experiencing what we do and enjoying some great authors. One of my favorite books to read at this time of the year is Snowballs by Lois Ehlert. Click on the title for information on the book. So since we just had a a mini snowstorm and we now know that we can make all sorts of snow people or creatures with snow and "stuff", this morning I went outside and had a wonderful time making a "snowbird". Please describe what I did to make the snowbird, the materials I gathered and most of all, try to go outside and make a snow creature with your parents. There is nothing more magical than having fun with your child and seeing life through their eyes. Take a moment this weekend, be a child with them and enjoy the snow or just making something together. It does not have to be long or complicated. My snowbird took me 20 minutes but the fun of looking through stuff and creating it will last me for a long time. Enjoy doing something different with your child this weekend. It can be making a snow creature, taking a walk to touch and feel the snow, making hot chocolate or just going outside, looking around, feeling the snow and drawing a snow creature at home on paper and decorating it your own "stuff". Please post your comments on the snowbird and share what you did this weekend that was fun and special.

Esther said "Wow, I want to make snowbird like that". We never had idea that we could try to make a different way to make snow. She wanted to do, but we had plan to do the other things. We promised to make it next time. Thank you for sharing with your good idea.

I love this idea of making snowbird this is just beautiful. First you gathered a lot of snow then you made her nose and eyes and then you tied a bow around her neck and finally some ribbons on her head. She is so pretty. I would like to make one too.

Wow! What a cute snowbird,I think first you gathered lot of snow then you gave it a shape of bird and to make it more cute you add red tie on his head, you used buttons for eyes and I think you used some kind of pasta to make his mouth.I like your idea of making snowbird because we always think of snowman and thanks for helping us to become more creative.

I have seen many snowman but the snowbird for the first time. Snowbird looks very cute. I think the first thing you did was to gather lots of snow and make a big triangle shape mountain out of it. After that you use different decoration stuff. You decorated the snowbird using the ribbon,bow tie, buttons for eyes and a clip for beck. Today we had swim class and didnot get a chance to be creative.

The snow bird looks like a penguin. This weekend, we played a chase game similar to my sister's favorite TV show, called Running Man

First Mrs.Schnee, you collected snow and made it into a big lump.Next you stuck the eyes, the beak and a red bow. Then you decorated the snow bird's head with ribbons.Finally, you took a picture of it. I had swimming and a karate test on Sunday.

like all other children, Hongrae really loves to make snowman with a daddy. This winter season we could made it twice. When he made his own he used branches to make the eyes, nose, arms and mouth.
