What’s in my Mitten {Craftivity}

Scrolling through my many goals during progress report week (sigh), I noticed many of them focused on writing this year. Writing is huge. It takes language to the next level. Many of my students can speak in sentence but then add in capitalization, punctuation, and spelling, and you have a recipe for disaster.

As much as I love working on writing, it can sometimes get tiring working on the same goals. I created this craftivity for my students to have some fun with writing but I also discovered I was having a lot of fun as well!

In this interactive craft, students choose items to hide in their mitten and then work on descriptive writing by writing 3 or 5 sentences to give as clues.

This packet contains everything needed to make your own mittens with hidden objects for your elementary grades.

I included two writing pages-one for 3 sentences and one for 5 sentences.

This activity is perfect to use on it’s own or you can pair it  with your Expanding Expression Toolkit or as a carry-over activity to go along with the book “The Mitten” by Jan Brett.

As a bonus, hang your student’s writing up in the hallway and kids passing by have fun guessing what’s inside based on the clues! Say what? A speech language therapist working on writing? Yes!
