1.       All I remember is playing a game with my friends Mathew and John.

2.       It reminds me of Mr. frosty the ice cream truck that comes to my block.

3.       It reminds me of Frosty the Snow Man that sings.

4.       It reminds me hot cocoa.

5.       It reminds me Christmas and how I get presents.

6.       It reminds me how I play in the snow


By Ms. India:

The porcelain friend that disappears,
The sharp bite of the cold keeps my vision clear.
I’ve had all of fall that I can take
So I sit anxiously, for the arrival of snowflakes.
Frostbitten windows and mountains of snow,
Dearest winter snowflakes, I wish you’d never go.

By Abdul:

Snowflakes snowflakes they get lower and they fall sometimes high they will come along
Snowflake please come along we will eat as you come along snowflakes snowflakes don’t cry
I’ll put in the snow please don’t if you do I might to help and I can’t because I’m sitting back
 Drinking some good old hot cocoa Santa says hoho. Thank you all.

By Imani:

What a snow flake means to me is happiness
and love snow flakes they are very nice and pretty to me. I love the winter it is a nice very nice season . What I get to do in the winter is play and make snow angels and make snow men, with my friends that live on the block I also like to have  snow ball fights . Me and my friends come inside to have some hot cocoa and some cookies . So everyday me and my grandma and my friends go to Germantown Ave. And go ice skatin’. I take lessons I also have my own skates they are white with pink hearts on it. I LOVE THE WINTER AND IT IS VERY FUN.

1.       The ice texture of the snowflake itself.
2.       The unique design that that every snowflake is different.
3.       The fun you can have with snowflakes.
4.       Snowflakes are just like life though the seasons
5.       You can make a lot of different things you can create with snowflakes
6.       Snow lets you stay in the house and drink hot choclate

By Devin C:

1. Snow,because it is white
and because it's a little cold
and just like a smoothie.

2. Reminds me of ice,
it's round
and a snowflake is round too.

3. My life is about making an igloo
because the igloo is just like snow
but it could turn into ice.

4. If you have a small one
then it's gonna go to melt
in the freezer.

5. When it snows and falls down
I like it when it falls down.
Then I am going to show it to everybody.
If somebody says "Snows don't fall down."
then I am going to prove it to them.

6. It reminds me of a freezer
be cause cold is coming out of it
every time you open it
then stuff is cold.
