Snowball Toss!?!

Although my future city might have snow in May every once in awhile, friends in 1A thought it seemed just a little quirky when our balloon for today said Snowball Toss!  "Miss Muntean, how in the world are we going to have a snowball toss when we don't have any snow?"  "Are we going to make snow?"  "Maybe we're going to eat snowballs"  Oh there were so many questions and wonderings about this one that we could hardly contain ourselves!

Throughout the year, I place extra copies, copies we haven't used, etc. in a bin in our room.  The plain side of these scrap papers work great for math work, score sheets for games, and drawing paper. During our final weeks of school, some of that paper gets magically transformed into "snowballs!"

Before we got started we went over a couple rules........
1.  It's a snowball toss (not a fight- no throwing snowballs at each other)
2.  Look out for each other and be safe

And then we were ready to get started!  However what would a snowball toss be without some wintery music?  Cue Bing Crosby and "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!"  This year we most definitely had to include a few snowy favorites from Frozen as well!

Here's a few pics and videos:

And we're all ready...... let the toss begin!

I think we're all quite happy it's finally spring, but a snowball toss at the end of May can certainly be a lot of fun too!  

1A Friends, do you have a favorite Balloon Poppin' Fun activity so far?  Post a comment to share with all of us!

Tomorrow we're headed to the beach..... Remember your beach clothes and a towel!
