A Wintery Week with Jan Brett

Happy New Year! It has been a crazy winter for us so far this year. We were meant to return to school on January 4th and have had six snow days between then and now! And add Martin Luther King Jr. day into the mix... needless to say, we're all walking around like martians, trying to get back into the swing of things! 

January in the library is always filled with all the winter-y things: snowmen, snowflakes, mittens, hot cocoa, etc. This week we are reading The Mitten and Trouble with Trolls by Jan Brett. Reading these this week brought back memories from when I read them as a kid and the cleverness of each story. They are so fun and mischievous and have some pretty amazing pictures to go along with.

Just how many creatures can fit inside this snow-white glove? Read the story and find out!

We discussed that these trolls do not have pretty colored hair, since the movie trolls came out recently, the students loved the trickery all the same! 

There's weatherman rumor that more snow is on its way, so bundle up... it was 2 degrees this morning... hang on to your mittens and watch out for dog-snatching trolls!
