Comparing Numbers with Name Snowmen!
Have you seen the idea of Name Snowmen floating around Pinterest? I loved the idea and decided to integrate it in our math unit on comparing numbers. Each child made a name snowman, pasted it to our snowy scene, and then counted the circles so we could easily compare. Then, with a math partner, they wrote sentences that compared two of the snowmen. I love using these speech bubbles that I made with my Cricut machine. I laminated them so we could use them again and again to make talking graphs.

I really like that! I'm going to pin it so I can come back to it and actually do it sometime this month. Thanks for sharing! : )
Thanks for sharing....I hadn't seen this. Are the snowmen bodies circles from Elison machine?
The circles are just from our school's die cut machine.
I love this idea! I think I'll use it when I get back to school. Thanks for sharing your pictures! :)

I've done these as well, but I love your integration with writing! I also make the face and scarf into a glyph.
I'd love to know about the dot cards the kids have! Do tell!
