The Mitten Retelling

 As we continued our literature study of The Mitten, we did a little retelling activity. This activity focused on recalling text, the concepts of beginning, middle, and end and also sequencing.

Each student made decorated their own mitten envelope and then colored and cut out all of the different animals from the story. 

We re-read the story and then practiced retelling. The children took turns telling different parts of the story. We discussed how important it was for us to remember each of the different parts of the story: beginning, middle, and end. 

As we told the story, the children added the different animals that snuggled up in the mitten.

And at the end, the mouse sat on the bear's nose, he sneezed, all of the animals flew out, and the mitten flew up into the air!
