Our Version of The Mitten

Today we read the book, The Mitten, adapted and illustrated by Jan Brett. After listening to the book, we made up our own story, but we used puppets and a t-shirt. Each of the children had an animal that crawled inside the t-shirt (except Zachary’s crocodile, which wanted to keep wandering around). We ended up with a pig, frog, tiger, horse, giraffe, duck, and two dogs inside the t-shirt, until and elephant came along and tried to squeeze in. The duck’s feathers tickle the elephant’s trunk and when it sneezed all of the animals flew out of the t-shirt!

Today was also Taylor’s special day, and she brought her stuffed puppy and her ballerina Barbie doll to show the rest of the class. Then her dad read a story about a little dinosaur who finds his voice. Thank you, Ian, for you help today and for the yummy veggies and crackers!
