Extending the Lesson Writing. As a class, write a sentence describing the snail's dream. Cut out or have the children cut out shapes of snails from construction paper. Have the children dictate a sentence from the previous activity to you. Write it in curlicue fashion inside the snail.
Research snails together.
Bring in some empty snail shells and, if possible, some snails in a small aquarium. Science and Illustrating. Together with the children come up with a list of different kinds of weather and create a weather chart. Have the children illustrate each type of weather on the chart.
