Use these examples of projects created by students and tweets from classroom teachers to inspire winter-themed activities in your classroom.
Creative use of technology can engage students, and help you integrate technology into daily classroom instruction.
Wixie's curriculum library includes hundreds of standards-based activities you can use for formative assessments and performance tasks. Search the library for "winter" to find writing, math, and seasons activities.
Students create their own adaptations of books they are reading.
Have students illustrate a story problem about winter and record an explanation of the solution. Collect the student projects into a class book and solve all the problems together.
Have students design snow globes to highlight a favorite memory, showcase holiday celebrations at home, or create a wintry scene. Search "globe" for a template.
Have students write how-to books for their favorite winter activities, such as making hot chocolate or building a snowman.
Any poetry form will do, but a haiku poem, (5-7-5 syllables) is even supposed to contain a kigo or season word making it perfect for wintry weather.
Get students thinking about how animals adapt and survive cold weather. This project is a simple student response to reading What If You Had Animal Hair? by Sandra Markle.
