I have snowflake wrapping paper on the bulletin board. Does anyone have an ideas of what to do next??? Thanks:-)

try adding evergreens made out of construction paper
and stick figures out of pipe cleaners

Make snow hills and have the students make snowmen.On the snowmen have them write an acrostic poem using winter words or have them write about a memory of a smowstorm. You can also, have them make Christmas trees and have the students write riddles on Christmas items.

There's a cute picture book (I can't remember the title) about what snowmen do at night while you are sleeping. I've seen small children write about what snowmen do at night, and they are hilarious. Something like that could be really cute, and would carry you through February

You could use it to teach about the water cycle.
Here's a website for an idea.

You could have the kids make snowflakes out of coffee filters (fold and cut) with their picture in the center-"Like Snowflakes We are All Unique"

The book khw is talking about is Snowmen at Night, written by Caralyn Buehner. It's great. The kids love it. I think I'll use this idea in the library in January!!!

Sounds like a good book. I'll have to check it out and possibly buy it from the scholastic catalogs if available.

Thanks!

The book that you are referring to is called "Snowmen At Night" by Caralyn Buehner. It's very cute and entertaining for primary kids.

You could have your students reflect on a goal and write it on the snowflake.

Make a title for the board, "Snowflake Similes". Kids can make a snowflake, then write a simile about it. Then attach the simile to the snowflake, and post them on the bulletin board.

Example:

My snowflake is as white as a marshmallow.
My snowflake is as pretty as lace.
My snowflake is as fancy as crystal.
My snowflake is as frosty as a snowman.

depending on how large your bulletin is, you can feature a "child of the week" with their picture and put their name up on shiny silver blue letters. Or do the whole classroom that way, saying," my name begins with letter ______.

You should submit it to the mailbox with a picture.

Make a title that says "Winter- There's SNOW Better Time to Read!"
Then you can hang up book reports, child made book jackets, or any book related responses to literature that they write. It is so cute if you make a giant snowman, holding a book.

I have made a huge snowman in the center of the bulletin board using frosting and candy. It makes a cute bulletin board. You can put any title on it. I have used it for various ages and they all enjoy it.

This is what I did for January..I made a giant snowman, added a few penguins and lots of snowflakes. I used the caption "It's Snow Secret...
Reading is Fun." I did the same board for one of our new year teachers and changed the caption to It's Snow Secret Math is Awesome..when the students learn their time tables they get to write their names on one of the snowflakes.
