The snow continues and so does the winter fun. This week we talked about winter gear and the importance of keeping warm during the cold.
We read two stories with the same name. The Mitten. We compared the stories and found the similarities. When we compare we look to see what is the same about the two books. The more related to each other the things are, the more there is to compare.
