Learning about odd and even numbers. If our kittens lost a mitten, we found out that number was odd. If no kittens lost a mitten, the number was even. (idea from mailbox)
We counted snowflakes in the mitten
We went on a bear hunt (idea from Suzan)
This was our sequencing "map" for The Mitten before we completed it.
Here are the kids completing their own snowman maps for The Mitten.
I forgot to take a picture of one completed...they turned out so cute. Try to post later.
We read sight words to see where the animal was hiding. (I saw a game similar to this one on the growing kinder's blog...I just adapted it to my theme for the week)
We made props for retelling The Mitten. A white paper sack became the mitten
and it held all of our props.
Here we are retelling the story using the props
Aaaaaaaaaa-Choo!!
Our student teacher read us Three Little Kittens.
After the story, she gave us all a mitten and we had to
find who had the rhyming mitten.
This was one of our fun math centers. We matched sweaters with jeans...after we counted the dots and the matching number.
Last week I posted 2 pages of our winter fact book.
These are the other two pages we added to complete the book.
I got this idea of the winter fact book from my good friend Suzan at KrazyforKindergarten.

Mrs. B.-I will be happy to send you a copy of the snowman rhyme time.
ReplyDeleteCarol and edegrote, I honestly do not know where the clipart for the sweater came from...mailbox maybe...it was just in my folder from years so I decided to use it for something. I think I just googled jeans coloring page and found the jeans...you may could find a sweater on google as well. The kittens and mittens came from Mailbox as well. You could google your own clipart and remake it. Hope this helps.
Great resource.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the fantastic site.

I would love a copy of your snowman rhyme time as well! Where did you find your rhyming stamps? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI do a very similar activity for retelling the mitten and have tried to use an envelope, pocket, you name it! to store the animals as the "mitten". I never thought of a paper bag! Great idea! Sooo much better! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCould you email me copies of the projects you did with your little ones for the story The Mitten.
