Day: November 28, 2018

When I woke up this morning and looked outside I realized it would be great day to make a snowman!! I ran to my fridge and grabbed a bag of carrots to bring with me to school.

As soon as students entered into the school this morning I said, “Keep all of your winter clothes on…we are heading outside to make a snowman!!” I was greeted with smiles and cheers.

We headed outside and stopped by the lost and found to grab some “outdoor clothing” for our snowmen. Students collected items that they wanted to use and we all headed outside. Students got into small groups and started to roll snow into balls as soon as they got outside. Students had to work together to create their snowman. As they were working, I reminded them of the steps that they were taking to make there snowman – what did they do first, what did they do next – as we would be doing some procedural writing once we came back inside.

Students did an amazing job at creating their snowman and snowman families! Here are some pictures from our snowy adventure outside this morning:

Today, we will be writing about the steps that students took to make their snowman. This is called procedural writing. Procedural writing is the steps that you take to do or make something. If you have ever read how-to guides or followed step-by-step instructions you are using procedural writing! Students will be using procedural writing to write about how to create the perfect snowman! Stay tuned to see what students wrote.
