Snow Poem

We have been working hard to add labels to our illustrations. I love leaving blank space on papers for students to draw their own pictures- it is always special to see how each child represents the poems through a little bit of art.

For this snow poem, I pulled up a blank Smart Board page, drew a face and asked students what we needed to bundle up tight. It was cute because the first item a student shared was snow pants- so all the students saw was a head, a big space (for the coat), and snow pants. Visually, I think this helped students think of everything needed to dress for winter weather. I modeled how to label as we went along and students did not draw themselves in winter gear until we were done drawing and labeling as a whole class.
