We read the timeless and fun story, The Snow Globe Family, written by Jane O’Conner. It tells the story of a little family who live in a snow globe and long for a swirling snowstorm. They hope that someone will give the snow globe a big shake and when the baby comes into the room, they just might get their wish! Students were asked to write their own short story with the sentence starter, “If I were trapped in a snow globe…” Some students chose to bring in pictures of themselves and create a snow globe of their own utilizing plastic plates, fake snow, and a whole lot of creativity and fun!
