Fun With the Book "The Mitten"

We had a lot of fun this week reading, retelling and responding to "The Mitten" by Jan Brett! I always love to have the kids retell the story with props and this year I tried something a little different. Take a look.

Students colored and cut out a mitten that we then stapled to a ziploc bag.

Here you can see the animals that are "in" the mitten. My kiddos had a great time with this retelling project!

Wall Story

This was one of our winter time wall stories.  The pictures were stuck on my phone which was not working for a while!  So here is another wall story better late than never!

Chubby Little Bunny Wall Story

Here is one of our winter wall stories:

Some of the pictures are hard to see - I choose 1 student a day to "illustrate" our interactive writing piece for the day

Love this illustration!

We are required to post "We can" statements for any work that we display for the hall way.  Since all of my work that I display is done thru interactive writing I posted this blanket statement that covers any type of work that I display in the hall.  Of course it is not just out there for display.  My students use our interactive writing pieces (wall stories) for read the room workstation!  Love it when I can use one lesson for more than one purpose!!!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

Just a few snapshots of our winter bulletin board. My students had a lot of fun making their pattern block snowflakes!
