Here is my very late Book Talk Thursday Post! With all of the hecticness of the holidays I am finally getting around to posting this. I am linking up with Andrea at Reading Toward the Stars for her linky! Also, I am lucky to be part of a group of terrific reading specialists and literacy teachers who are launching a collaborative literacy blog called Literacy Land. We will launch in about a week so stay tuned! I think it will be awesome!
My favorite winter read is the classic, The Mitten by Jan Brett! What a clever story. It is so neat to see the story unfold as each animal tries to squeeze into the mitten as they seek shelter. The mitten stretches and stretches… The ending is so fun, and I love how the boy brings back the mittens to his nana (I think) who had warned him not to lose one! I am always losing mittens and gloves so I know the feeling!
Now I don’t have any great resources myself for this book but I found that Nicole King has a free Jan Brett author study pack on Teachers Pay Teachers – click here to see it – and Erin from Creating and Teaching has a free sequence activity. Click here to see that. Click on Andrea’s image for Book Talk Thursday below to see her favorite winter read and see who else linked up!
