Snowman at……
Have you ever built a snowman and discovered the next day that his grin has gotten a little crooked, or his tree-branch arms have moved? And you've wondered...what do snowmen do when you aren’t watching? The Snowman at Night book series by Caralyn Buehner describes snowman adventures at fascinating places and times.
Some of these stories have been read to you in the library, and you can google these titles and listen to the read aloud stories again if you like. You can also find links to these stories on the Tiger Library page on the Maries R2 Website.
Project
Create an image of a snowman or group of snowmen at a unique place and time. Please don’t use the time and places from the books--these belong to the author!!
Requirements:
*Choose the place or time for your snowman adventure.
* Title the project - Snowman at …… - you decide and finish the title for yourself.
*Create a 3D snowman in the setting of your choice.
You are free to be as creative as you like in this project. Your project can be an elaborate model or a 3D snowman on a paper background. You choose! Here are some examples of 3D snowmen to get you inspired.
*Email (lansford@mariesr2.org) or bring a picture of your project to school for viewing during library time. (Don’t bring the actual project!) Include your name in the email, but not on the project. Students from the entire elementary school will vote for his/her favorite during library time.
*Winners will get a small prize and pics will be featured on our school social media.

It is with great sadness that we share that Teresa Crull (Middle School Paraprofessional) passed away last night. She was kind, dedicated to our students and staff, and always patient. She was passionate about making sure that our students were learning each day. She was an amazing advocate for our students and always shared a smile and encouragement. She was a great friend and an even greater person.
Additional counselors have been made available at the Middle School. If your child would like to talk to someone, please email jschultz@mariesr2.org or hkrieg@mariesr2.org and arrangements will be made for them to visit with one of the counselors this week.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to her husband, Joe, and her family. She will be missed!
