Revising and partner editing

This week we added "spider legs" to our writing. We used these "legs" to add words to our stories. We also spent time with a partner to edit our stories together.

Retelling The Mitten by Jan Brett

Today we read two versions of the folk tale, The Mitten. We used a graphic organizer to compare and contrast the two stories. We made mittens and cut out the characters from the story. We used our cut outs to retell the story to our partners. Ask your child to retell the story to you!
