Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening

Stopping by the Wood s on a Snowy Evening
Author: Robert Frost
Illustrator: Susan Jefferes
Summery: A counterpoint of verse and illustration draws the reader gentle into a winter night.

Even though this book would have been perfect to read at Christmas time we still really enjoyed it. Lily and Aj thought it was about Santa bringing presents to the kids in the village. They sang jingle bells all week!



Social Studies-(new England)
We reviewed were we lived and the Map of New England. We also Played New England Bingo. We placed our story disk on New England.


Language-(poetry)
We read tons of poetry this week. After reading other peoples poems we decide to write our own. Lily and Aj did a great job writing and illustrating their poems.


Science-(forest animals,snow)
Lily and Aj had so much fun making and playing with snow. They also had fun using their animal flash cards to separate animals into their habitats.( example: forest,jungle or ocean)Last but not least,they did a couple work sheets about forest animals too!




Art-(Pen and Ink)
Susan Jeffers,Illustrator uses pen and ink to fashion an experience in the snowy woods. Lily and Aj looked at the pictures in the book and made their own snowy woods drawings. The artist also uses a small amount of color in her pictures. They learned that deciding weather or not to use color is important and where to use it represents an idea.


Food Fun-(Eating Snow flake Snacks was yummy! We cut shapes out of tortillas. After baking them in the oven we put Cinnamon and sugar on them.
