The Mitten

If your child has come home this week telling you they have crawled into a mitten at school, they are telling the truth.  Well,  sort of...winter is a great time to read Jan Brett's book-'The Mitten.'  It has been a fun time in our TTh class. Check out last year's blog entry for lots of information and a link to Jan Brett's website.  http://metamoracommunityprek.blogspot.com/2010/01/mitten.html  You can act out the mitten story at home with your child.   Cover a table with a large blanket.  Not enough children to play? Have your child gather stuffed animals, dolls or other toys to play the animals.  Acting out the story is great for your child's imagination and retells the story again and again.
