January in Michigan brings biting cold and lots of snow - time to get outside to build snowmen, go sledding, snowboarding and skiing. The week before the holidays we watched the delightful 1982 animated classic "The Snowman" which shares the story of a little boy's adventures with a snowman he builds. This is no "Frosty the Snowman" movie and features excellent hand drawn original animation and music. Next students painted the snowmen and snow leaving room to add details the week we returned from break. I stressed the importance of showing their snowmen having some wild winter fun! Then we glued on cloth scarves, hats, sleds, skiis, and other details. No boring-just-standing-around snowmen for us!
