Review the definition of an adverb.

1. a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc. (e.g., gently, quite, then, there ).

Review the definition of an adjective.

1. a word or phrase naming an attribute, added to or grammatically related to a noun to modify or describe it.

Write the following paragraph on the board:

Travis entered the classroom.  The class had just returned from recess.  It was time to take a math test.  Travis sat down at his desk.  The test was face down on his desk.  The teacher gave some instructions, and Travis flipped over his test.  He looked at the first problem.

Challenge the students to change the mood and meaning of the paragraph by using adverbs and adjectives.  The students may work as a whole group, in small groups, or individually in their writing journals.

If working in groups, instruct each group to create a different mood.  For example, happy, scared, anxious, mad, etc.

Did you forget how to make paper snowflakes?  Do you need a quick (under two minutes!) demonstration video to show your students?  If you are like me, you remember how to fold it, but it never turned out pretty like this:

After watching this quick video, I figured out what I was doing wrong.  

Click the picture below to watch the video:

The key is to cut out bigger pieces!  Aren't these pretty?

Now, how about a couple movement activities to go along with all of your pretty snowflakes?

SNOWFLAKES

(Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb)

Snowflakes falling gently down.

Whirling round, twirling round.

Slowly falling to the ground.

Landing softly without a sound.

Dramatic Play

Students may pretend to be snowflakes and float slowly through the air.  Soon, Mr. North Wind blows them quickly through the air. Finally, the snowflakes fall silently on the ground.  

Next, the snowflakes are made into a snowman.  The students stand tall and act like snowmen.  The sun shines, and the temperature warms.  The snowmen slowly begin to melt.  It becomes hotter and hotter.  The snowmen become smaller and smaller.  Finally, they all melt into a puddle of water!
