Teaching Tips:

• Ask students to write directions telling someone how to build a snowman. Encourage students to include each of the steps. Have students use transition words, such as first, next, and last, in their writing. Ask students to read their directions out loud and have others judge if any of the steps were left out.

• What is snow? Where does it come from? Talk with students about snow. Discuss how it is a form of precipitation and is frozen water. Ask students to brainstorm other kinds of precipitation.

• Ask students to list some of the snowy climates around the world. Then, encourage students to find these locations on a classroom map or globe.

• Have students draw a picture of their favorite snowy memory. Then, ask students to write a captain describing the picture on the back of it. Encourage students to use a lot of descriptive words in their writing.
