3. Poem: The Chubby Snowman
A chubby little snowman
Had a carrot nose.
Along came a bunny,
And what do you suppose?
That hungry little bunny,
Looking for his lunch,
Ate that snowman's carrot
Nibble, nibble, crunch
Song: I'm a Friendly Snowman (Tune: "I'm a Little Teapot")
I'm a friendly snowman big and fat (stretch arms out at sides)
Here is my tummy and here is my hat (point to tummy and then top of head)
I'm a happy fellow, here's my nose (Smile and then point to nose)
I'm all snow from my head to my toes (point to head and then to toes)
I have two bright eyes so I can see (Point to eyes)
All the snow falling down on me (flutter fingers downward)
When the weather's cold I'm strong and tall (stand up tall)
But when it's warm I get very small. (crouch down low)
4. Read second story "Bob's Vacation" or "Snowden", "Stranger in the Woods" or "Sadie and the Snowman"
5. Snowball by Shel Silverstein
I made myself a snow ball as perfect as could be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet and let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas and a pillow for its head.
Then, last night it ran away.But first -- it wet the bed.
