Animals in Winter Project

Animals in Winter Project

We started this project by reading the story “Over & Under the Snow” By Kate Messner. While reading the story, we talked about the different animals that we saw and what they did in the pictures. After reading the book we, we made a chart of animals that lived over the snow and animals that lived under the snow (both from the story and our prior knowledge). We then decided to make a large mural of what animals do over and under the snow with the list that we had made. Students were split into different groups that were in charge of various animals (ex. animals under the snow, animals over the snow, animals in the sky and nature). Using their creativity, they were to create pictures of animals in their certain category through collaboration with one another.
