Division 7 knows that we communicate information in many different forms.  

We have been learning to give instructions using sentences starting with the words First, Next, Then and Last.  

We used those words to describe and sequence the steps needed for How to Build a Snowman.

We typed our instructions on the computer and added a picture of a snowman looking up at the falling snow.   [metaslider id=3086] 

Division 7 has been working on building the vocabulary needed to talk about story, such as setting, characters, problem and solution.  We have also been learning to retell the events in sequence.  We love the character in the story “Sneezy the Snowman.”  Sneezy  is so cold keeps doing things that cause him to melt, like drinking hot cocoa, sitting in a hot tub or warming himself by a fire.  It was so funny that we were inspired to make our own melted snowmen.

Being the budding scientists that we are, Division 7 decided to try predicting the weather for ourselves.

On February the 2nd, we went outside to look for our shadows.  We discovered that shadows are the shade that is made when something blocks out the the light.  We learned that if we move far from the light, we make a small shadow.  If we go closer to the light, we make a big shadow.  

As you can see, we predicted that we will have six more weeks of winter.  Given the weekend of snowfall, we think that we did a better job than the ” groundhognosticators”.  (get it?)
