The Mitten

This week we are talking about mittens!  Today we read a story called "The Mitten" by Jan Brett.  It is a fun story about animals who all squeeze into a mitten.  We decorated mittens, wrote a class book about mittens - "This mitten is so big...", and practiced counting and numeral regognition with mittens.  It was a busy day and went by really quickly especially since we also had gym and played outside with the shovels and sleds.
