Kindergarten and first grade students explored characteristics of fiction and nonfiction texts using, Snowballs and The Story of Snow: The Science of Winter's Wonder. After reading both books, students used a Venn Diagram to sort characteristics of both texts between three circles (exclusive to fiction, shared between both, and exclusive to nonfiction). At the conclusion of the session both grades engaged in a makerspace activity. Kindergarten students designed their own snowflakes and first grade students watched a quick sketch snowflake video prior to designing a snowflake progression picture. *Both makerspace activities asked students to incorporate elements learned about snow crystals and snowflakes.
