What do students see in their future for the New Year?  This "craftivity" makes a fun January writing prompt.  Students can write their goals, resolutions, or hopes for the New Year around the glasses.  So that you can redo this activity each year, I've included numbers for any year in the future.

Run the mitten pattern off on a variety of colors of construction paper.  I wanted mine to have a red mitten with a green cuff + a green mitten with a red cuff, so I ran off two of each page (one on red and one on green).  Laminate, trim and then cut the cuffs off so that you create puzzles for a Magic e Mitten Matching Game. 

3 pages.

Students choose either a mitten or snowman pattern; trace it onto a wordy section of the newspaper, and trim.  Children guess-timate how many S's or Mm's they will find and write that information on the matching recording sheet.  Students circle the letters and count them as they go and then fill in the rest of their recording sheet.

Run off the mitten template on a variety of colors of construction paper.  Children choose one; teacher paints their hand white and presses it to the center of the mitten.  Pulled cotton, glued on the cuff, adds the finishing touch.  You could also write students' names in glitter.  These make a vibrant bulletin board or winter boarder.

Your students will enjoy making these snowmen with a moveable carrot nose.  Choose whatever standard you want your kiddo's to work on: upper and lowercase letter identification, counting by 1's, skip counting by 2's, 3's, 5's or 10's, or use on your December or January calendar to countdown the days.  These are a great way to whole-group assess as well.  Students could also partner up and quiz each other.
