Melting Snowmen

You guys this activity is so fun and packed with learning opportunities…

• Matter
• Cause and Effect
• Predicting
• Art
• Fine Motor Skills
• Writing
• Problem and Solution
• Measuring
• and more!!

Here is what I do!

First, I read the book, “Sneezy the Snowman.” This book is adorable! Sneezy keeps trying to warm up but melts every time. The children keep rebuilding but he keeps melting.

Steps

1: We first discuss what we think will happen when we combine vinegar and baking soda.

2. We decide all we need for our snowman. For example make a hat out of felt, use popsicle sticks for arms, add buttons, etc).

3. In a bowl combine 2 cups of baking soda and 2 tbsp. of salt. Add 1 tsp. of dish soap and mix it very well. Last, add 8 tbsp. of water and form the dough into balls.

4. Make a snowman and add the details, i.e. nose, arms, etc.

5. Now, spray your snowman with the vinegar and watch your snowman disappear! Or just dump it on!

Sneezy made it back to being a snowman but our snowmen were not that lucky!

This and more is included in my Snowman Unit!

Adjective Sticks

This is such a fun and simple way to practice adjectives…

or any part of speech! 

I love to put these sticks at a center. The kids can write each sentence and circle the adjectives or they can just make a chart with only adjectives.

****Have your higher kids create a T-chart by also finding the nouns and verbs on the sticks!!

Have fun!

You can also make a class anchor chart-
Find all the nouns, verb and adjectives together!

I get my sticks at Amazon! 

Martin Luther King Vocabulary Words

Comprehension is our main goal of reading, you can not underestimate the importance of VOCABULARY!

I always have vocabulary posted for every unit of study. This week we are using our Martin Luther King Vocabulary Posters.
