During the winter session, instead of dedicating the entire 6 weeks to winter stories, I usually present one winterish storytime, that includes stories about winter, snow, mitten, penguins, and/or snowmen.
Here’s what I shared this week : (note: I don’t read every book, I mix and match based on the age group and attention span of the attendees.)
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
The First Day of Winter by Denise Fleming
Three Little Kittens by Paul Galdone
Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers

Craft of the Week: Sparkly Mittens
Supplies:
