Jan Brett's "The Mitten" - Literacy Activities

Over the next couple weeks before Christmas break, we are doing activities with a few of Jan Brett's books. I decided to make a few activities for her book "The Mitten" which we will be covering over a couple of days. Take a look at it here and at my TPT store.
