SNOWBALLS AND SANDCASTLES

8 minutes/Grades P-6

The seasonal opposites of winter and summer create very
different worlds to be explored and enjoyed by people of all ages.
How can comparisons help us appreciate the endless variety of the
changing seasons? This film provides opportunities for students to
examine their assumptions about winter and summer and discuss the
effects that changing seasons have on our everyday lives.

Awards: ALA Notable Children's Film

  seasons." School Library Journal
  

• "Alerts young viewers to the world around them, contrasts the
  seasonal activities of a frosty winter and a sizzling summer."

Produced by the National Film Board of Canada Six films by
Bill Maylone

All children want to make sense of the world around them. These
six films without dialogue build upon and develop children's
natural interest in their surroundings.

With Teacher's Guide.

• "During a time when libraries and schools are rethinking ways
  to achieve excellence, the development of children's reasoning
  skills should not be overlooked... . Complete with authentic sound
  effects, evocative instrumental music, and two talented
  performers, these shorts sharpen visual literacy as they provide
  an entertainingly instructive method to make children, stop, look,
  and listen... In a variety of ways these creative "core" videos
  also speak clearly to such diverse populations as immigrant,
  language-disabled, inner city, and rural children." Booklist
