Time for a fun theme that opens itself to a great STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) unit: Snowmen.

snowman4 We will be working on shapes, building structure, science of snowflakes, snow, ice, science of changing matter, math, crafts and literacy. Resources gathered in Pinterest on my Winter: Snowmen board will be used throughout the unit. Here’s the start, but as always I follow the lead of the children and will change out projects to meet they interests and needs.

Math: snowman number bean bag toss with ten frame from The First Grade Parade

Math: build a paper plate snowman – focus on buttons being placed in numerical sequence. Idea comes from JDaniel4′s Mom hole punch buttons.

Math: measuring. Using parts of a snowman to measure and compare from E is for Exploring.

Math: build snowmen with snowballs for each number provided – I heart crafty things  has a simple option adaptable for stamps.

Science: (changes in matter) a study in melting snow ~ snowman in a bag from Teach Preschool

Flannel board: free printable snowman faces from makingfriends.com to use to build snowmen that show different feelings for situations provided

Art: torn paper snowman face idea from the artist woman. Tracing circle shape on paper where snowman will appear to be looking off at something. Fine motor with tearing up paper. More glue practice in filling in that circle.

Technology:

  • Use iPad to draw a snowman and record explanation (Show Me app). Comparison to last year (assessment).
  • Listen to song videos on YouTube before learning.
  • Watch full animation version of The Snowman on YouTube to compare with the book.

Books we are reading can all be found on my shelfari .  The shelf will definitely include: Sadie and the Snowman, Stranger in the Woods, The Snowman, Owl Moon, The Jacket I Wear in the Snow, The Snowy Day, Snowmen at Night
