The Mitten

Happy new year, it is great to be back, and into the swing of things once again!

Today we read the well loved, favourite Jan Brett book called "The Mitten". Many of the students created some artwork and activities based on the story. During our math time, we estimated and measured different sized mittens, using linking cubes as the non standard measurement tool. In the book, 8 different woodland animals squish themselves into a mitten seeking some warmth. In class, we counted how many blocks would fit inside a mitten. 
Figuring out all the footprints!
