Everyone LOVES snowmen! Let your K-2 students make their own crafty snowman using your Makerspace or Craft Center with this unit. This includes 3 Lesson Plans and a Snowman planning sheet. Approximate teaching time of all lessons is five 45 minute classes. In Lesson #1 I give you a script that I use to introduce the simple research process of Super3 (TM) which is simply Plan, Do and Review. I have designed a kinesthetic way to introduce it to the students that they love! In lesson #2, I give you a script to use to help students identify the Plan, Do, Review aspects of the research process while watching a popular snowman movie, "The Snowman and the Snowdog." Lesson #3 outlines the procedure for students to plan their own snowman using the Planning Sheet. Then, they make their snowman using Makerspace/Craft Area materials. Finally, they review their work.
