What happens if you take a snowman snowboarding? He’ll crash into other snowboarders, according to a story written by Sand Ridge Charter School firth-grader Jacob Dodge, 11.
After writing and illustrating stories based on the theme “If You Gave A Snowman a…,” Dodge and his classmates shared them with residents of The Oaks at Lebanon, assisted living center last Friday.
All the stores are circle stories that begin and end in the same place and are based on children’s book by Laura Nemeroff, said teacher Naomi Villmann.
“They have to put some thought into it; it takes finesse and a certain level of sophistication to write these stories,” she said.
After the students hand wrote the stores, Villmann and her daughter typed and bound them in book form, leading the students to learn another lesson - role of editors. |

| “Hopefully I added a few more adjectives and details,” she told the class. And like all good authors, the young writers dedicated their books to a special someone.
Maddy Williamson, 10, dedicated “If You Give a Snowman a Squirrel” to his sister McKenzie. For Kayla Crossan, 10, the choice of her grandmother Meta was easy. “She taught me how to draw,” Crossan said.
Reading the stories to The Oak’s residents was fun, Crossan said. “I think it was nice to share with them. Minnie Watts laughed as Cody Bates, 11 shared “If You Gave a Snowman a Snowball” with her. “I love ‘em. They are all enthusiastic and seem so happy, “ Watts said. |
