After we put on our Mitten play, students created their own Retell Bags. They were asked to think about the realistic details of the various animals when coloring. Also, they worked hard on cutting out the various pieces and following multi-step directions! I hope they enjoyed retelling the story with you at home! | On Friday, we had fun reenacting the story, The Mitten by Jan Brett. Not only have we read aloud the story as a group, students have also listened to Jan Brett's own recording of her book during Literacy Stations. They have become experts on using the QR code app to access various audio books at our Listening Station. We practiced remembering the sequence of events in the story with detail and using transition words such as First, Next, and Last. As you can imagine, our favorite part was when the mouse tickled the bear's nose and the bear's sneeze made all of the "animals" scatter throughout the room! |
Achooooo!!
