Carrollton, VA Grades PreK-2

My Project

I am always looking for creative ways to help my second graders learn and have fun. With the upcoming holidays, keeping students engaged just before the break can be a challenge, but hands-on activities always spark excitement in our classroom. My students love STEM projects, and they are the perfect blend of learning and play.

Our goal for this event is to foster teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

How to Catch a Snowman is the perfect book to launch our activities. Students will use snowman craft kits for a friendly snowman-building contest, followed by a snowman scavenger hunt designed to boost observation skills.

We’ll wrap up the day with a fun seasonal snack—making it a memorable and meaningful Snowman STEM Day for everyone, along with coloring books and Santa hats.!
