I am so excited to share The Mitten Literature Unit! This 2 week unit will begin on December 5th and is the eighth book in the literature learning units that we will be using for the 2016-2017 year. Over the course of a school year, we will be exploring some of the most well-loved children’s books out there. Head over and check out our book list if you haven’t gotten the chance to yet! Everything that you could possibly need to know to participate with us is written in The Mitten Unit Study file, which can be downloaded for free at the end of this post.
