For the past few weeks, Miss Bennett’s 2nd grade class has been learning and reading about the First Americans in shared reading. To review the different regions such as the Pacific Northwest, the Northeast Woodlands, the Southwest, and the Plains, the class had a snowball fight! Facts were on “snowballs” and students tossed them around the room to mix them up! After a minute, students grabbed a snowball and had to decide what region the fact was represented in. We had SNOW much fun!
