Spring is (almost) in the air! Even living in Florida and not dealing with all the snow, I am sure looking forward to a beautiful spring day! However, it's still winter, so why not get some good therapy use out of another winter book?
The Mitten
by Jan Brett is probably one of my favorite Winter themed books. This is definitely a go-to for me and it is used every year. This year, I created a book companion to go along with the story and address my students' goals.
