The students in Mrs. Grant's kindergarten class completed steam activity of building their own snowman trap after reading the book, How To Catch A Snowman! First the students disguised a snowman and wrote about what he would wear to disguise himself and not get caught. Then they built their trap out of Legos either individually or as a team. Their creations were so clever and all would have surly caught at least one!
