We may not have gotten much snow on the ground (yet), but it’s okay because Mrs. Covert’s Kindergarten students made some of their own in the classroom!
In their English Language (EL) Literacy Program, Module 2 Weather Wonders – Unit 3, students learned about characters, settings, and problems in the story, The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack. “I thought it would be ‘snow’ much fun for our class to actually make snow,” said Mrs. Covert.
One box of baking soda and half a can of shaving cream were used to make the snow. It took about five minutes for the students to mix the snow with their hands and another five or so minutes of playing with it to get the consistency of real snow.
The class made snowballs and snowmen from their handcrafted snow. One student, Christian V., said, “I liked mixing the baking soda and shaving cream together to make a big, fat snowball!”
“In Collegium’s Kindergarten English Language Arts Curriculum, the EL Weather Wonders Module has allowed the students to learn about literacy and science. Projects like this give the children hands-on experiences that enhance their learning while having fun!” Explained Mrs. Covert of the snow-making project.
