Mitten Mania

I think Mother Nature knew our classroom's were going to be focusing on winter and winter wear this week because she decided to drop the temperature drastically! Thanks... I guess. Our focus this past week was on reading, writing, and making Short I CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words. To make it a little more engaging, we also put an emphasis on an all time classic, "The Mitten" by Jan Brett. The kiddos had a blast playing comprehension games, using dry erase boards to create Short I words (real and nonsense words), and reading different stories about mittens.



A class favorite was graphing whether you typically wear gloves or mittens in cold weather. The students ALWAYS love relating school work to their own personal life! After graphing our data, we analyzed it. Each class had a different spin on analyzing and graphing the data: take a look!
