Snowball Fight!

First grade is back in action and ready to take on the second school semester! With it being January and us having a possibility of snow this week, the class had a snowball fight to get them ready for the potential fun in the snow. Knowing our Texas weather, it might be the only way they will have a snowball fight this week. For the inside snowball fight, students gathered around 50 paper snowballs and waited for me to say “Go”. Once I said go, the children had some time to gently throw snowballs at each other. Then I told them to freeze and they would stop throwing and pick up four snowballs. After everyone gathered their four snowballs I put them into pairs. After they found their partner, each student opened their snowballs and read the sentences that were typed inside the snowballs to their partner. Who knows if we will be able to have a real snowball fight this year, but we will be having another one in class, maybe with math facts next time!
