A blizzard of snowflakes occurred today in my classroom. It was so much fun! The High School art and math teacher volunteered to share with the elementary kids (one classroom at a time) how to make a proper 6-pointed/sided snowflake. They started with a PowerPoint that told all about different types of snowflakes and then it discussed two people who are famous for taking photographs of snowflakes. As a class we've been reading through "Snowflake Bentley." It is a book about a man who loves snow and devotes his life to capturing snowflakes with a camera. So it was great for them to hear about the same person we had been discussing!
After the PowerPoint my kids learned how to cut a snowflake. You should have heard the ohh's and ahh's. It was great and my kids were such eager learners! Their thank you notes were even very heartfelt but hilarious! Here are a few pictures of some of their snowflake masterpieces.
They wanted to make it snow.
