The Mitten

This week we have been studying The Mitten by Jan Brett.  This is a wonderful story about a little boy who convinces his grandmother to knit snow white mittens for him.  When he goes outside, he drops one mitten.  A series of animals finds the mitten and decides to use it as shelter from the cold.  Ultimately, the boy finds his mitten in the snow and returns home to show his grandmother that one mitten is stretched out and much larger than the other.  It is an excellent story!  

On Monday, after reading the story, we created a Brace Map and listed all the characters in the story.

Today, we reviewed the story and created a modified Multi-Flow Map which helps us think about cause and effect.
