Snowplow!!

This week's snowstorm made it a perfect time to read about snowplows and snow removal. First, we read Small Walt by Elizabeth Verdick, about a small snowplow who always got picked last and how he and his friend Gus battled a blizzard! In Katy and the Big Snow by Virginia Lee Burton we heard about a tractor who plowed out the whole city after a big snowstorm. We liked to look at the maps, and find the compass rose on many of the pages. Our last story was a favorite: SuperTruck by Stephen Savage, about a superhero truck who saves the day, and then vanishes.

We made our own snowplow from paper. We added a cardboard scoop with some cotton snow to make it look like the truck was really plowing out a city!
