Measuring our Snowgirl!

Mrs. Shepley brought in some snow and she and the children built a snowperson together, the children picked items from around the classroom to use as eyes, arms, nose, mouth and hair.

The children helped build a snowperson.

They decided that the snowperson was going to be a snowgirl, we used cubes to measure how tall she was, the children estimated then we counted, she was 17 cubes tall.  We had the children make predictions about what would happen to our snowgirl.

The Snowgirl began to melt and she lost her nose first, and because the surface she was on was tilted, she slid over.

She was starting to get shorter

She lost her mouth, we moved her back over, we were afraid she might fall off the table.

At the end of the day, she had lost her eyes and she was 3 cubes shorter!

In the morning, this is what was left of our snowgirl, just a puddle and the things that we added.  The children were excited to discover what happened!
