Jan Brett and Mitten Math

Yesterday, we introduced our favorite author--Jan Brett. We will spend the next three weeks reading, discussing, and studying her wonderful books.

Then the girls had time to explore her different stories.

Both kindergarten classes channeled Jan Brett's attention to detail and each girl made her own mitten.  We love how their personalities came out in their paintings!

Mrs. Martin's class practiced counting by 2's and solved story problems using mittens (in honor of our author, Jan Brett) as manipulatives.
