They all went into a classroom so the snowman could teach them. He taught them multiplication rounding. It seemed all the kids were learning it really fast. When he finished teaching they all went home to go to sleep. When it was daytime, the children told their principal that a snowman had taught them last night. Then suddenly the snowman appeared. “Are you the snowman that taught the kids?” The snowman said, “Yes.” Then the principal said, “Would you like to be a teacher?” The snowman said proudly, Sure!” So the snowman was really happy to have a job and good friends.

Christmas Party

Snowman Teacher

• people gathered around the classroom and realized he was up all night. Then, Holly saw that the snowman was not her teacher. Holly decided to show him around the classroom. The snowman stayed as their teacher for the rest of the year, and Holly was happy.


The New School

• it happened. 50 more snowmen came. Sadly, the school became too packed and exploded. The snowmen built a new school that was two floors. They all finished the school and left a note saying “From: Snowmen To: children, teachers, and principals. They read it and were glad and happy. Every day since then, they bring cold food for the snowmen, and the snowmen always eat the food. The children and snowmen lived happily every after. Back to the Beginning

Snow Globe• they all started sweating and

suddenly melted. Holly couldn’t believe her eyes. She went running to her house but it was locked. She had to her aunt’s house to get the keys. When she finally had the keys, she quickly opened the door. She had a snow globe that made it look like it was snowing. When she shook it, all the snowmen reappeared. Holly went to the playground. There they were. Holly gave the globe to the snowman so that when they are melting, they can just shake it. The snowman was so happy. Then Holly gave the snowman a hug. The snowman turned into a human and was glad to finally be one.


Snowball Fight• a really creepy snowman came

out of nowhere! Other snowmen were astonished. One of the snowmen said, “That snowman doesn’t look like a snowman.” “That’s Holly!”, the first snowman said. Holly was amazed that snowmen could talk and fainted.10 minutes later all of them said, “Holly?! Wake up and hurry!” Holly woke up. It was time for school already. It was too late. Kids were using the snowmen for snowballs and made a big mess all around. Everybody was suspended except Holly. The other kids begged to come back to school until their suspension was over.


Bully Snowman

• a bully snowman came. The other snowmen knew he was a bully. The snowmen tried to be nice but the bully just pushed them away. There was a grown up snowman who said, “That’s not nice. You apologize to him.” The bully said he was sorry and they ended up all being friends.


The Hero

• big gingerbread man. The snowman chased Mr. Ginger all around the school. After that Mr. Ginger went inside his car and drove away. The snowman heard someone yelling inside the haunted classroom. The snowman helped the man who was under a bookcase that had fallen on him. The snowman became a hero. The magic that made him during the snowstorm now made him a human because of his good deed. Back to the Beginning

Mr. Ginger Looks Tasty• something good. The snowman

asked Mr. Ginger who he was. Mr. Ginger said, “Well, I’m a gingerbread cookie principal.” The snowman was hungry so he said to Mr. Ginger, “Why don’t we take a walk to the coffee shop?” The snowman was getting excited. He was ready to eat. When they got there, Mr. Ginger knew what the snowman was up to, so he ran from the coffee shop as fast as he could. Now the snowman was so hungry that he could eat anything. He didn’t eat for 2 days and finally melted away from hunger. Back to the Beginning

Spiders• gingerbread man because his

buttons looked like gummies. The snowman asked Mr. Ginger why the classroom looked haunted. Mr. Ginger said, “It’s because one day some naughty boys brought some spiders, and the spiders started making webs. All the kids ran away.” The snowman went inside and started to look around. He was so frightened that he started sweating. He realized he had to stop sweating or else he would melt. He suddenly found a large can with big spiders that were larger than regular ones. He took them outside and cleaned up the webs. The looked pretty and not haunted anymore. He and Mr. Ginger were both happy.


I’m Scared• monster. Mr. Ginger was going

into the classroom. The snowman followed him like a spy. Mr. Ginger stayed for a long time. He was doing work. He did lots of things. The snowman began to like the principal when he saw him working. The snowman did not think he was going to scare Mr. Ginger, but he did. Mr. Ginger yelled and the snowman yelled. Mr. Ginger got more scared when the snowman yelled. Then they laughed because they realized it was funny. After all of that, Mr. Ginger and the snowman became friends. In the morning the snowman melted, but because he was made of magic, he comes alive every winter.


The Accident• ghost because he was old, pale,

and super white. When they each saw the other, they both screamed and ran away. The principal was a nice person. He didn’t realize it was a nice snowman though. The snowman kept scooting and screaming. Mr. Ginger finally said, “Stop! I’m a nice person, not a ghost!” The snowman didn’t listen. He ran out of the school and went into the road. BOOM! CRASH! He had been run over and caused a car accident. Mr. Ginger set up a funeral in front of the school. He and the rest of the school cried and cried for the poor, confused snowman.


The Chase

• yummy dessert. The snowman chased Mr. Ginger. He chased him all the way to the river. “It’s a dead end.” Mr. Ginger said. Then the snowman ate Mr. Ginger.


Looking for Evidence• they began their adventure. At first

they couldn’t find any evidence about the scene. They asked everyone politely, but no one told them anything. The snowman began to sweat, so Holly took him to the coldest freezer in the world. Holly finally found out why everyone ran away from a teacher named Ms. Tree. Ms. Tree said, “We ran away because the snowman looked scary.” Holly went to tell the snowman what the people thought. The snowman went to tell everyone he wasn’t scary. The snowman and the people worked out the problem and became friends for the rest of the snowstorm. Back to the Beginning

With Zane’s Help

• snowman and Holly found out why they all left. Another student, Zane, told them that they whole entire town ran away because they were afraid of a walking, talking snowman. “Ohhhhhh! I get what you say,” said snowman. Zane helped them calm the people down and the three of them became best friends. Back to the Beginning

Time Machine

• they got lots of electric things to make a time machine. They got in and saw barn animals attacking the city. They saw cows, sheep, pigs, and horses. Holly said, “I can’t believe this is happening.” The animals escaped because the owner didn’t close the gate. Holly and the snowman went to stop all the animals. They put the all back and said to each other, “Mission accomplished.”


Snowy Forest

• while Holly and the snowman were walking to a snowy forest, they saw a wizard owl. The snowman and the little girl asked, “Why are all the people running away?” The owl said, “Another blizzard is going to hit and it’s going to be larger.” The snowman asked, “Is there any way we can stop the blizzard?”


Snowman on the Loose!• everybody freaked out

because of the talking snowman. “I still don’t know why they’re doing that.” he said. “Look!” she said. People were holding signs that said, “SNOWMAN ON THE LOOSE! IT’S MAKING US FREAK OUT!” “Run” he said. Holly ran and the snowman scooted and scooted. When they reached the school, Holly said, “Help us Mom!” The reason she said that was because her mom was a teacher at her school. It was too late though. The snowman melted away making Holly very sad.


Colossal Fire

• off they went to figure out why people were running. The snowman and Holly were walking and think everything is fine but, then they see a colossal fire in a building. The snowman went to the nearest fire station. On the way, he was starting to melt, but didn’t completely. The firefighters came and put out the fire. That’s how Holly and the snowman saved the town.
