Winter Wonderland

We had an amazing time at our Literacy Day: Winter Wonderland. Our Reading Room was transformed into a real life winter scene. We had snowflakes of every size and shape suspended from the ceiling, an igloo constructed by one of our 5^th graders and the song Walking in a Winter Wonderland playing in the background as our students entered.  Our Elementary school students sang songs and were read incredible winter storybooks such as The Tiny Snowflake, The Little Snowflake, and Winter Rabbit. We watched a special Brain Pop and Brain Pop Jr., which talked about snowflakes. Students drew pictures and answered questions based on what they learned from the video.

However, the best part of the day, and all the students will agree, had to be when upper elementary played a game called Build Your Own Snow woman. Each class was split into three groups and had about two minutes to decorate teachers and aides as snow women. They used a roll of toilet paper and a whole lot of creativity. It was yet another successful, fun Literacy Day for all! Happy Reading!
