Mrs. Ward's First Grade Class
Orchard Hill Elementary School
North Canton, Ohio
Frosty the Snowman

 

We listened to Raffi sing the "Frosty" song at our Rhythm and Rhyme Center. Mrs. Ward wrote the words to the song on chart paper and we sang the song each day at our opening. We liked singing the song so much that we decided it might be fun to do some "Frosty" activities! We made paper machie Frostys as gifts to our parents. We designed a new hat for Frosty with construction paper and lots and lots of glitter! We wrote about our Frosty hats. We also got to watch the video of "Frosty the Snowman". We hope you like looking at some of our projects. We had lots of fun doing them!
