for them. Ask them what that was. |

where the students mittens are coming from.
2. Each time we read further, we will discuss what they think the
kids will do in the story.

and to be kind back to her. |

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1. For students who have a difficult time writing, I will write
it on a sheet of paper and they will copy it.
2. For my students who are not able to think about a kind deed, we
will brainstorm a list as a class.
3. I will also draw lines on the mittens for my students who sometimes
write their words too big. |

in the story. I will ask them what the boys problem was and how his
problem was solved.
