Enjoy watching this video of our snowmen. We made the snowmen using Tux Paint. Our voices were recorded during Music Class with Mrs. Urbanowitz using Audacity. If you like our pictures and our singing leave us a comment.

Very cute!
Great job first grade! I’m a technology specialist at a K-3 campus in Texas, and we use Tux Paint too. I can’t wait to share your project with the first graders at my school.
Hello Mrs. Lynch’s first grade!
Your snowmen are wonderful and so is your singing! Which do you enjoy more, music class or using the computer? I am a K-4 computer teacher in Northfield, New Jersey, USA. Keep up the GREAT work!

Hi Year 1,
Your snowmen look really cute and I love your singing.
My Year 1 class are from Sydney, Australia. Maybe you could check out their blog too.

We will be reading your blog tomorrow in class.

Hi there, first grade!
You have a beautiful blog!
We are a 6th Grade class in Portugal, near Lisbon, where it never snows, so we don’t have the joy of creating our snow men!

Hello Everybody!
I love your singing and your alphabet book. I can tell you are a really busy class that likes to do fun projects together! Thanks for sharing your work with everyone.
Well done, first grade. Your song was so cute
I like your snowman very much. We don’t have snow here where I live in the West Australian Wheatbelt region
Really well done everyone! All the snowmen wear unique in some way – the fashion, the shapes, the colours — and your singing and music were fantastic.
You’ve obviously got a wonderful teacher whose school is smart about letting kiddos blog on the internet.
It was nice to look at icy-cold snowmen for me as I live in Australia where the seasons are reversed from yours. So while you are still in winter — over here it is very hot. In fact, I spent yesterday having a water pistol fight with my nephew and a friend’s daughter who is in first grade over here. We finished off by going to the beach.
I’m originally from New Hampshire and my grandparents are originally from Quebec (my maiden name is Lorette) so I got an extra kick out of this.
Thank you for sharing your work with so many of us.
Cheers!

I love your snowmen, you have done an amazing job making a video of them, too! I am a high school English teacher in Naples, FL, so we don’t see too many snowmen here. We go to the beach and make sandcastles instead! Today, it is 70 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a bit cool for us, but last week, it got so cold, I had ice on my car in the morning! Because I grew up in Syracuse, NY, I remembered the days I would shovel snow and scrape my windshield before I could get in the car and go. Keep up the wonderful work!

Your hombres de nieve are beautiful. Thanks for working so hard and your song is muy bonita. Wow! I am an EFL professor at Universidad Rafael Belloso Chacin in Maracaibo, Venezuela. I am going to show your work to my students so they can learn to paint beautiful hombres de nieve. Gracias!
Keep on shining Love nd Peace!

Hi Everyone! I loved your snowmen. I live in Melbourne Australia and yesterday it was 46 degrees (115F). HOT. So it was nice to see some snow even if it wasn’t quite the real thing.
You did a great job! Keep up the good work. I am going to show the Year 1 classes at my school how clever you are.

Very nice Vimeo about snowmen, Grade 1. You guys rock. I can’t wait to read about what you’re going to do next. I read also about your 100th day of school plans. That’s wonderful.
I am writing to you from Windsor, Ontario Canada. It’s Saturday night and I’ll bet that you’ll have lots of comments to read on Monday morning. Way to go.
Hello class!
Wonderful work on your snowman video and soundtrack. You have very lovely singing voices and your snowmen illustrations were absolutely chilly!
My favorite snowman of all was Louis’s. Maybe because it is green, and I live in Florida, which is often sunny and green too.
Keep learning and sharing.

Hi Mrs. Lynch’s First Grade Class -
What great snowmen and singing to go along with them. Do you have real ones outside your school?
I teach at the New Sweden School in New Sweden, Maine. We are in northern Maine and very close to the Canadian border. In fact, our music teacher lives in Canada.
It has not been warm enough here for the snow to be sticky enough to make snow people.
Keep up the great work and I’ll be checking in to see how you are doing.

Hi Mrs. Lynch’s first graders,
What a fabulous job on your snowmen! We’re in Las Vegas so we don’t get a whole lot of snow. I worked with some second graders putting penguin projects together, but we don’t have them on a blog. We’ll have to do that next. Here’s a link to their penguin podcasts if you’d like to check them out. http://my.ccsd.net/podcasts.phtml?action=showPodcasts&site_id=2144272487-Lawrence&tracking_id=303747&channel_id=752809317
I plan on showing your snowmen project to the students at my school. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

I love your snowman video and singing. I am learning how to use Tux paint myself to teach to my teachers at school. I don’t have my own class anymore but I go into lots of classes and help them learn how to do things on the computer while their teacher is having release. When I did have my own class I used to teacher junior children the same age as you.
I have made some resources that you and your teacher might like to check out on my http://digitallearningnz.wikispaces.com . My school are learning about blogging this year and you might like to pop by http://phsjuniornews.blogspot.com we will add your class to our blogroll so we can check in on you.
Keep up the great learning and sharing

I’m a school librarian from Livonia, NY. I enjoyed your video very much! I liked the fact that every snowman was different. It made me think of a book called Snow Dude. Have you read it?
Great work! I’m going to share this with my six 1st grade classes. They are just learning how to use Tux paint.
Great video! Wonderful snowmen and wonderful singing. Great idea. Thanks for sharing what you have made with Tux Paint.

There are some interesting, colourful snowmen in your great communal video. There is never snow here on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia but we do get heavy rain. At the moment the whole of northern Queensland has record-breaking flooding. However I do remember the joys of building snowmen in my childhood in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in northen England.
Keep up the good work.
Great job, class. Keep up the great work, and keep sharing your knowledge and talents with the world.

G’Day grade 1 & Mrs Lynch,
Wow thank you so much for your snowmen pictures, it was 46 °C here yesterday in Melbourne Australia and your pictures made me feel much cooler.
My kids think you sing so well you should make a CD and they told their cousins in Sonintula BC to look you guys up as well .
This is our local school here;

Keep up the great work and keep having fun. Cheerio
Hello First Graders,
I just listened to your song and watched the images that you created in Tux Paint. You must have practiced long and hard to sing that song! I could hear all of the words clearly since you sang altogether. The pictures of the snowmen were fun to watch! I saw the twinkle that you put in the snowman’s eyes. I want to show my first graders in Newton, MA what your snowmen look like. I’ve bookmarked your blog so that I can remember the page. Thanks again!
Mrs. Leo
Hello from Hamburg, NY!
Your snowman and song were great. It is impressive to see first graders learning how to use computer tools.
Wow, I wish our Grade Ones could do something like that. We’d have to have jelley snowmen, though as we don’t have snow in Adelaide. Or, we could use wet sand as we have lots of beaches.
Have you heard of a sandman?
Hello, I’m in Baku, Azerbaijan. Congratulations everyone, great work.
Wow,what wonderful snowmen you made and I love your singing. I am a Visual Arts teacher from Melbourne, Australia so I appreciate your pictures and all the time it took to make them look so handsome.We don’t have snow here at the moment because it is summer and it is VERY hot.It was 115F yesterday and there were a lot of forest or bush fires as we call them. Keep up your excellent drawing. I will show my Grade 1 students at Taylors Lakes Primary School this week.
Thanks for sharing your work, and great work Mrs Lynch

What a wonderful job you did on your snowman book! I am a technology specialist and will be helping a first grade class in my district make a digital storybook soon. I hope that theirs will be an nice as the one you made!
