The Mitten!

We have been reading the story The Mitten by Jan Brett. The children are very good at remembering the sequence of the story. If you don't know the story, and want a treat, ask your child to tell you the story! We have been looking at the beautiful illustrations in the book, and talking about different parts of the story. They are excited to talk about the characters, setting and retell the story. Many children have been using our felt board to retell the story as well. We also read another story, similar to The Mitten, called, Room for One More. They were able to list many different things that were the same and different about the stories and we created a Venn Diagram! The children have also created beautiful watercolour paintings to make their own mittens, and sew them together with twisty twirlies (hmmm, what's a twisty twirly, you ask??)
