More of The Mitten

Last week we read and studied The Mitten by Jan Brett.  This week we continue studying The Mitten.  Two groups are reading a version of The Mitten during small group reading instruction (other groups are focused on alphabet recognition, letter sounds, and writing simple words).  After lunch, we read The Mitten by Alvin Tresselt.  After reading the book, we talked about how the two versions of the story are similar and different.  We made a Double Bubble Map to help us organize our thinking as we compared and contrasted the stories.  

Mrs. Finally, our counselor, came in and taught a lesson about Accepting Responsibility.  This behavior is a focus for our school this month.
