This afternoon, we read Snowmen at Work by Caralyn Buehner. In this book, it's revealed that snowmen don't just play all night--they have jobs to do, just like the parents of human kids. Dentists replace missing coal from snowman smiles while the pizza man delivers frozen pizza, and factory workers make the coolest toys in town! We talked about how these snowmen were working as community helpers but were only pretend, not real! I also used directional words to help give Danny information to find the hidden mouse on each page. We ended the day with a fun group activity. Danny watched a movie, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with several other students. They enjoyed popcorn, too!
