Today we visited Jan Brett's website: www.janbrett.com and learned more about her beloved winter story, The Mitten.  Students are designing sequencing maps, showing the order of the woodland animals that snuggled into Nicki's mitten.  Please visit the above link to watch how Jan Brett paints her favorite animal, which is also featured in this story, the hedgehog.  We will read books written and illustrated by Jan Brett during the month of December.  Please share one of your Jan Brett favorites.  We will also write her letters after our author study.  Ask your child about Jan Brett.
