Snow Folk by

 

P.S. 279
Brooklyn, New York
3rd grade, Harriet Stolzenberg
 
Carly I: My snowman is an astronaut so the villagers could
learn more about outer space. I think this is important to the community!
 
 
Emma R.: My snowgirl is a teacher. She works in the main building of P.S.279.
I think this is important for a community because you need
to learn and teachers teach you things.
 
 
Janelle L.: I picked a doctor for the community because doctors
help people a lot when they are sick.
 
.
Jenna H.: I choose a doctor for the community because if the town
did not have a doctor there would not be someone that could heal

you when you are sick.

S. B. Butler School

Mystic, Connecticut

Emma: My snowperson is a pediatrician who helps sick children.

Katie C: "My snowperson is a teacher.
She helps the community by teaching kids."

from criminals and to keep criminals under control."

 

Thanks so much for organizing this activity. My students and I really enjoyed it.

These creatures from last year are still cool and many of them come from places where snow never falls!

About The 1999 Cybersnow Project

Ready, Get Set, Build!

In cyberspace, you don't have to wait for the weather report to see if there will be enough snow to build a snowperson! All it takes is imagination, and we have plenty of that, no matter what the weather.

To Get Started:

  1. Decide on an occupation that you think is important in a community.
  2. Draw a snowperson that will represent that occupation. Make sure it has the proper clothing and tools for the job you pick. You may illustrate where it works. (Drawings may be hand-drawn or computer generated in .pict or .gif format. Graphics and plain text files must be submitted as separate files.
  3. Describe the job your snow person does (Where does she/he work? What contribution do they make in their community?)
  4. Snow riddles are welcome!!

    Before you start:

    Think about the services and needs of a real community and all the different jobs it takes to keep it going.
    Brainstorm a list of the many jobs it takes to meet the needs and wants of your community.
