Snowman Measuring Freebie and Font Giveaway

Elizabeth here from Kickin' it in Kindergarten


I wanted to share a snowman measuring activity that I love doing with my students. We have been reading snowman books this week so we do this fun math/writing activity to go along with the books. 

First, I show the kids how to draw a snowman on a large piece of white construction paper. and then they glue it down to the blue piece of construction paper. If they get frusterated, have them draw three seperate circles instead. 


Then, I cut out pieces of black (hat), orange (nose), red (scarf) and various colors (buttons) and passed them out to each table and let the kids come up with their own design. Some kiddos wanted a crown instead of a hat :) 

The kids drew on the arms, eyes, and ears with a black marker.

Next, it was on the measuring. Students used unifex cubes and measured from the bottom of the snowman to the top of the snowman and recorded it on the recording strip at the bottom. 
Finally, it was on to the writing. The students have to sketch their snowman and then give it at name.

  2. Love your fonts!! I'd love to learn how to do that... but then again, there are so many talented "font makers" out there, maybe I'll just leave it to the professionals ;) I can't just pick one. My favorites are Kickin' Liz, Kickin' Beans, and Kickin' Chicken.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

So after all set has been done, he promise me that i will be healed but on a condition that i provide him some items and obeyed all he said. I did all by accepting his Words fact
    and only to see that after some weeks of taking his herbal medicine i notice some changes in my body system and i went for check up the day he ask me to go for check up to confirm if the sickness was still there,to
    my greatest surprise i could not find any sickness in my body i was first shocked and later arise to be the happiest woman on earth after i have concluded my final test on the hospital by my doctor that i am now
    HIV- Negative. My papers for check are with me and now i am happy and glad for his miraculous help and power.
    With these i must tell everyone who might seek for any help, either for HIV cure or much more to contact him now at these following email now, Email: Worldtreatmentforhiv@yahoo.com or you can contact me for confirmation oliviaphilip40@gmail.com "sir thank you so much for your immediate cure of my disease, i must say a big thanks for curing my disease, i owe you in return.
