Do you feel a little
down? Maybe a little
blue? Or just a tad
depressed after the holiday hustle and bustle? Well...I have just the thing to cheer you up! More ideas! I have wanted to revamp my
winter unit for quite some time now. I found
Jan Brett's website and I just loooooooove it. I printed, cut, laminated and attached a popsicle stick to the animal masks from
"The Mitten" and my class and I are going to retell the story by using the masks and acting out each of the part. I am going to use a white sheet as the mitten and my students will have to crawl in it as we retell.
Then, we have a little creative writing activity where the students have to think of a different animal to crawl into the mitten and tell why. The mitten is made with scrapbook paper and cotton balls. Underneath there is a surprise!!!! Here is my example...

oh I am glad you saw my blog. Thank you so much for the mitten idea! I did a little editing!
Thank you for your ideas. I'm planning to use the writing prompt pages to make a new class book. They will love reading the book and looking under each others' mittens to see what is there!
Thanks for the idea. I'm doing my Jan Brett unit now. This is the perfect addition! If you want to see some of things I've done with Jan Brett, visit my new (totally new and not very fancy yet) blog: http://snippetsbysarah.blogspot.com/
Thank you for the freebie! I have always loved this book.

I have just got to thank you and let you know how great this activity was in my classroom. I do The Mitten (both versions) in my classroom every year and this was a great addition.
I pinned this idea over my break and WHOA!!!! I don't know if you know this or not, but this idea was re-pinned 45 times just from my pin! FAB-U-LOUS!
It also just happens to be a great segue in to my next unit because all my kiddos (unknowingly) chose desert animals to hide in the mittens, and that's my next big unit of study. So Thank YOU!! (times 45) Thanks for posting such a wonderful freebie!
This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing! My kids will just love this activity!
