This is a neat Java-based site that allows you to design your own snowflake with text. Teachers could have their students create short messages in their snowflakes: a sentence from a book character’s point of view, what they would give the world as a gift, their favorite things about winter, etc…, and decorate the classroom bulletin boards with the print-outs. I found this link on KB Connected, where you can also find a link to over 100 holiday related websites.
Oh wow, so cool and pretty!
I can honestly say that this is a great snowflake. I am not much for the cutting and folding, so I really like this idea.
I hope you find this relevant. Just a heads up for anyone who is planing on making a snowflake in the next few days. Maybe you would also consider making one for Sandy Hook? The school has asked for donations of snowflakes to decorate the new building the students will enter in January. If you have a chance to make just one more snowflake you may like to look into it. http://eslcarissa.blogspot.com/2012/12/send-snowflakes-to-sandy-hook.html
