I love how Caralyn Buehner’s snowmen books encourage kids to
use their imaginations. When I came across her newest book, Snowmen at Work, I thought it could make a great bulletin board. After reading, we discussed the
different jobs the snowmen had in the book and whether they were providing
goods or services. Then I asked them to brainstorm other careers snowmen might enjoy.
They were coming up with things like pop stars, basketball players, racecar
drivers and wrestlers. Finally, I gave each student a template and a letter to take home explaining the project
to their families. Students brought back their snow people dressed for a
variety of jobs and I gave them all one of these cards to fill in the information about their
creations.
I used a bulletin board with black paper and some
snow-covered hills to show off these polar producers. I added work zone border
and some icy gusts of wind (thank you, glitter glue) to complete the display.
