~Mittens~


I start out our
Mitten Theme by reading the book The
Three Little Kittens. We talk about the
differences of a cat and kitten. We make a list of pets
we have at home. Students then match the pet picture to
the correct word on our list. (Google images).
        
We have a snowball fight! I write
numbers on
paper...we crumple them up and throw them
around. When I blow my whistle...the students
find a snowball, open it up, and read the
number!

My poor little kitten lost her
mitten
And started to cry, boo-hoo.
So I helped my kitten to look
for her mitten.
Her beautiful mitten of BLUE.

We use mittens to act out story problems!We measure
with mittens!

Students match mittens:
capital/lowercase at the ABC
Center.
        
We
make mittens at the Art Center!

We
decorate our hallway with our mittens!
        
We
decorate our classroom door for
winter!
In the middle of each snowflake
is a students face!

We make snowflakes! These snowflakes decorate our
classroom through the winter months. SO CUTE!

To begin
our study on the season winter I show the students
a mystery bag! Inside the bag I have numerous items that
belong on a snowman (carrot, hat, sticks, buttons)!
Students
have to guess what items are inside by asking questions!
Example: Is it round? Is it long? What can I do with it?
We make a list of words that rhyme with "man" like in
snowman.
