As we move into our Winter & The Four Seasons unit in our K-1 All-Star class; we read a children’s classic known as The Mitten retold by Jan Brett.  The class retold the story by doing a reader’s theater and acting out as different characters of the story.  We used masks from Jan Brett’s website.

For math workshop we worked on The Mitten printable math centers kindergarten add-on from The Mitten Learning Printables.  They included number / quantity recognition mats, ordinal number sequence cards, mittens size cut and paste activity, and number counting puzzles.

For writing we discussed the different characters we remember from the story.  Then we wrote about our favorite characters and something they did in the story.
