For the past month, the preschoolers have been reading books written by author, Jan Brett. First, we read “The Mitten” which was about a young boy who loses his white mitten in the snow. Through the story, various woodland animals find the mitten and crawl inside… The second book, “The Three Snow Bears”, another version of “Goldilock and the Three Bears”, takes place in the Arctic region and the characters are polar bears living in an igloo.
Both books were about snow and cold…Brrr. They matched the weather we have had outside on Mackworth Island! Our centers have included many snow themed activities as well as many outside adventures playing in the ice and snow!
All eyes are on the story, waiting to see what happens next…
During story time, students acted out the story using props and masks.
Students dressed up as animals from “The Mitten” in the Drama Center.
The art center was a busy place as students made masks of all the animals from “The Mitten”.
