The Mitten - Part 2

This week we continued learning and playing with the story The Mitten.  One of the big focuses we had was how we could retell the story.  We learned that there are many ways to retell a story. We did a picture walk just using the pictures in the book to help us remember the story.  We used our mitten we sewed last week and added the animals and told the story to a partner.  We got to use the iPad and make a puppet show of the story using our own words. After we could replay our puppet show.  (Everyone really enjoyed this one!) Lastly, we got to act out the story.

Watching our puppet show on the Puppet Pals app.

Creating our puppet show by moving the animals on the iPad.

Another job we did this week was to make a hedgehog that could go into a mitten just like in the story.  First we drew a quick sketch of the shape of a hedgehog.  Then we got to use a fork to help us make a print for the quills.  We thought it was funny to a paint with a fork.  All the hedgehogs are unique and really cute!
