I read "The Mitten" by Jan Brett to Kindergarten. Students learned all about texture while making observations of the illustrations. Kindergarten then made their own mitten. I gave them a tracer for their mitten and then pulled out crayons and texture plates. The excitement was deafening! When is kindergarten ever not excited and enthusiastic?! They colored patterns, lines, shapes on their mittens and the next week we cut out the mittens and added pieces of yarn for texture. I have to say, the intensity with which the students worked was amazing. This was the quietest my kinders have ever been while they worked. They loved adding the yarn!
