Retelling

We have been learning about Retelling stories by remembering events that happened in the beginning, middle and end of different stories. 

During the past week, we read a story called The Mitten by Jan Brett. It is a folktale about a boy named Nikki who loses his snow-white mitten. He can't find it in the snow, but the forest animals do. 

We created a Story Map to help us retell The Mitten from beginning to end. 

We also used props and puppets to act out the story.
