Let it Snow...

What a wonderful time we had making the story, 
The Snowy Day, by Ezra Jack Keats, 
come alive in our classroom.
We acted out the story, re-told the story 
using props on the flannel board, and made a 
giant mural bringing the story to life in a BIG way.
The main character in the story is Peter, but in our 
mural the children became the characters.
  We also added a few scrap paper houses, buildings, and trees.
Deciding on placement was done very carefully!
After adding the characters to the mural we mixed up a batch of our secret snow... shaving cream and liquid glue. 
Puffy and sticky at the same time.
A sensory joy!

Be sure to stop by to view our mural which is hanging in the hallway between our two classrooms.
