We had a little fun with our study of The Mitten. I printed pictures of all the animals in the story off of Jan Brett's website and glued each to a paper plate to create masks. We pretended like my reading table was a giant mitten. I handed out masks and as we re-read The Mitten and came to their animal's name, the student with that mask would go under the table. At the end, the bear sneezes and all the animals come out of the mitten. The students loved it!
