1-2-3 Come Do Some Mitten Activities With Me!

Since the other mitten packets to go with Jan Brett's story The Mitten, were such popular downloads, I decided to make a few more language arts craftivities to match that Ukrainian folktale.

The Mitten literacy packet contains: an ordinal number worksheet that will help your students with sequencing the characters, a label the cover activity, a beginning-middle-end graphic organizer, 2 sets of pocket cards that review characters, stories and events + 8 bookmarks to prompt retelling of the tale.  Click on the link to view/download The Mitten Literacy Packet.

Another way to sequence the story is with The Mitten Story Telling Slider "craftivity."  Run off the mitten on white construction paper and cut slits for the "window" with an Exacto knife. 

Children cut out their mitten, add some color to their "slider" and insert it into the mitten. 

Students retell the story by pulling the pictures on the slider so they show in the window.  Click on the link to view/download The Mitten Story Telling Slider.

Finally, I made some pocket review cards.  Students change the letters that need to be capitalized and add end punctuation. 

The question cards provide a nice review of the story as well.  Click on the link to view/download The Mitten Punctuation-Capitalization Pocket Card Review packet. 

Thanks for visiting.  It's time to don my mittens and brave the cold, so Chloe my poodle pup gets a bit of fresh air. 

"He had mittens, Minjekahjwun, magic mittens made of deer skin; when upon his hands he wore them, he could smite the rocks asunder; he could grind them into powder." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
