The Mitten by Jan Brett

Over that last few days, we have been reading and exploring with the story "The Mitten" by Jan Brett. This story has quickly become one of our favourite stories with exciting animals and rich vocabulary.

First, we practiced learning the names of the animals that we got to meet in this story in order to build our vocabulary and understanding.




Next, students were encouraged to think about and choose their favourite part. Then, we practiced using all of our words to share, "My favourite part was..." with a peer partner.

 

Finally, we used our understanding of "The Mitten" to draw and write about our favourite part.










Boys and girls are continuing to build on their understanding of the story and story telling through various centers in the classroom.






At home, you can encourage your child to share and write about their favourite part of the story that they read with you. Happy reading!
