On Friday, we read the story “The Mitten” to go along with our animal theme. The story is about a boy who loses his “snow white mitten.” A variety of winter animals come along and make themselves at home in the mitten. As I read the story, I had pictures of each animal’s face glued on a purple popsicle stick that the children got to stuff in the “mitten.” (I just used a large white sheet as the mitten.) The children loved participating in the story! At the end of the story, the boy finds his very stretched out mitten. We discussed why one mitten was bigger than the other mitten. Definitely a fun group time activity! 🙂
