I Teach 5th But...

We have a "Snow Day At School" every winter, when we need a little break. We complete winter word puzzles, read comprehension passages dealing with snow/winter/etc., complete activities using reading a thermometer as the| basis, read the book "Snowmen At Night" and then each student draws his/her own snowman and then writes about the adventure it has, enjoy free reading with hot chocolate. We have also practiced measurement by measuring and graphing how far students can do the the "Standing Snowboot Jump" wearing my snow boots, find the area and perimeter of winter scarves, guess the number of marshmallows | |
in the jar, etc. At the end of the day the students clean out their desks and then we head to the gym with all of the papers they were going to throw away. We then crumple up the discard paper and have a snowball battle. The kids love this day. Everything is connected to the PA state standards except the snowball battle, and that is just a 10 minute management task.
