We are in the "Winter Mood!"
We have had a lot of rain and it's finally cold.
So it does feel like winter in Southern California!
I'm starting back with some fun Mitten activities! On Monday
I introduced Jan Brett's The Mitten and then on Tuesday we practiced this frame with each child's name in the pocket chart. We reread the Mitten several times throughout this rainy week to get the sequencing embedded in our minds!
On Thursday, we made a mini book for our book boxes which included some "tricky words" (down and made).
We will keep them in our book boxes for rereading.

Here are two more activities you can do with the Mitten!
