Today Maya participated in a shared read aloud, entitled The Cold Lady Who Swallowed Snow. This is a cumulative text. The group was able to compare and contrast to another book by the same author. They listened and made predictions, noted the rhyming words, and laughed at this humorous story. The students were successful in guessing that the woman was building a snowman. Afterwards, they created their own snowman craft utilizing their fine motor skills to carefully place beans onto their ornament. Later today, Maya joined her peers to watch Rudolph, the movie, while the teachers had a staff development meeting.
