How stinkin’ cute is this winter bulletin board {and snowman/woman glyph crafts} from first grade teacher, Kelley Smith?! What a fabulously fun way to herald in the season of snow!

Snow-ology

Find various interesting facts about snow to share with your students…

• The basics – where it comes from/how it’s formed, the uniqueness of snow crystals, etc.
• Add a little humor if you wish – maybe a funny reminder not to eat yellow snow or how to avoid the cartoon scissor-like-slip-and-fall when encountering slippery patches
• Even bring in a bit of history into it – get stats for the worst snowstorm in your area, bringing in a visual so students can see how high the snow was, etc.

Type these various facts up, mount them onto cute patterned scrapbook paper, and display them on the bulletin board – taking time to introduce a new one every day!

Snow People Glyphs

Be sure to head on over to Mrs. Smith’s website for a copy of her glyph project! We think these projects turned out utterly adorable and can’t wait to try them out!

Snow-ology Winter Bulletin Board Idea

• Background: Black bulletin board paper.
• Title: “Snow-ology!”
• Border: We love the layered border and how Kelley stuck with the black and white tones!
• Decoration: Create snow people of your own to decorate the board! Cut large circles/ovals out of white bulletin board paper, stacking them and using a combination of markers and colored construction paper to add detailing to the cutouts – arms, legs, a face, a hat/bow, etc. Place the large snow people on the board, add your snow-ology fun facts, and you’re set for a fun winter tradition!
