This lesson plan is for a 1st grade art integrated lesson on making snowflakes. Students will practice geometry shapes by cutting them out of paper to create snowflakes. They will learn vocabulary like fold lines and cutting. The teacher will demonstrate how to fold the paper and cut out shapes to form snowflakes. This lesson builds on previous lessons around shapes and cutting skills and helps students practice mathematics concepts through an art activity. It assesses shape recognition and cutting abilities.
