My Project

Help me give my 20 second graders materials to become designers, mathematicians, and authors through hands-on winter learning with Snoopy and Woodstock!

Our Winter Discovery Lab will invite students to ask questions, create designs, test ideas, and improve their work.

In our Snow Globe Design Studio, students will sketch plans and assemble Snoopy and Woodstock snow globe crafts. They will investigate how arranging pieces affects stability, test whether their creations stand securely, and make adjustments. Partners will explain their choices and offer suggestions. Students will then write imaginative winter adventures featuring a problem their characters must solve.

In our Winter Measurement Lab, students will use snowman height ornaments to represent their heights, practice consistent measuring techniques, and record results. They will decorate snow-measuring sticks while keeping measurement marks visible. Teams will test their tools using simulated snow depths, compare readings, and discuss why measurements may differ. If snow arrives, students will apply their skills outdoors!

Coloring kits will support planning, illustration, and descriptive writing. These experiences will connect science, engineering, mathematics, art, and literacy while giving every student opportunities to collaborate and solve problems.

Our project will culminate in a Winter Discovery Museum, where students display their creations, demonstrate measuring tools, and share stories. Snoopy cups, plates, and napkins will support our closing celebration. Hats, bracelets, and pencil charms will serve as celebration treats recognizing students’ completed work. Tote bags will help students carry their projects home and share their discoveries with families.

Your support will help my second graders turn winter curiosity into meaningful learning—and proudly explain, “Here is what I created, tested, and discovered!”

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
