The Mitten (plus a FREEBIE)

The Mitten Retelling Center

Last week, we did a lot of learning and had fun with The Mitten Books!  We focused on two versions:

On Monday and Tuesday, we read the Jan Brett version. We did a retell of the story on our big mitten.

On Wednesday, we read Alvin Tresselt's version of The Mitten. The kids were so surprised when I pulled out another version!  We also did a retelling of this story. 

On Thursday, of course we had to compare the two versions!  

We played Mitten themed math games! These can be found in my January Kindergarten Math games pack here!


One of our literacy centers is called Book Play. Here we do a combination of sensory materials and book retelling. Here is our Jan Brett retelling bin.  I had to search Micheal's, Walmart, and Amazon to find all the animals. I used white felt to sew a mitten together and rice for the snow. 


We also designed our own mittens and wrote all about them.  You can get this writing page in my FREEBIE Mitten pack here!

It was a wonderful, mitten filled week in Kindergarten!
