Good idea Wendy Mr Andrews said We can’t make it snow but we can learn a lot about what has to happen before it will snow Dennis raised his hand Mr Andrews you’re wrong I know how we can make snow He stood up and cleared his throat Wendy grinned at Jessica If anyone knew how to make snow it would be Dennis You can make pretend snow with instant mashed potato flakes or soap flakes or pieces of paper cut up or Austin jumped out of his chair If we make mashed potato snowmen we could have a snowman-eating contest How do you make snow gravy Everyone laughed Dennis glared at Austin and sat down 8
Mr Andrews tapped the ruler on his head again Dennis those are all interesting ideas for making a small amount of pretend snow I’m afraid it would be hard to build snowmen out of them However they would be fun projects for a snow lesson 9
Dennis nodded Wendy had to admit that Mr Andrews was right How could you build a snowman with soap flakes The bell rang and everyone grabbed their backpacks Yeah Jessica shouted Wendy and Jessica walked out the door together Let’s have a Weather Warriors meeting the day after Thanksgiving Wendy said Tomorrow the school choir is singing at the homeless shelter We’re doing a special Thanksgiving program for the kids Wow Jessica said I bet that would make a great picture So should we meet on Friday in the clubhouse Wendy asked 10
Jessica got in line to wait for her mother to pick her up You bet I can’t wait to show you and Dennis my new camera I bought it when I sold the lightning picture to the newspaper Dennis poked his head between them Cool And you know what else is cool Snow cones and snow forts and sledding Austin walked past them on his way to the bus You three think you know everything about snow But I know something too I know how to cover the school grounds with snow Sure you do Wendy said rolling her eyes at Jessica Austin stuck his tongue at them My dad is buying a snow-making machine I’m going to practice building snowmen in my backyard and I’ll win those tickets to the water park 11
