Since The Mitten is such a popular story with teachers, I decided to design some things to go along with it. 

The Mitten Activity packet is chock full of all sorts of fun "stuff"  and includes:

  • jan brett activities, activities to go with The Mitten, activities to go with The Hat, venn diagram templates, venn diagram for The Mitten, mitten activities, mitten crafts, ordinal number activities, mitten writing prompts, rhyming actvitities, daily 5 for winter, verb activities, January writing promptsMove Over Please, So I Won't Freeze easy reader booklet, which reinforces lots of Common Core, especially ordinal numbers and verbs. 

Students underline the verbs, circle the capital letters, add end punctuation, trace and write the animal character's name, his ordinal position and an action word (verb) associated with him, then cut & glue the matching animal picture in the box.
