The Jacket I Wear in the Snow

I’ve just finished creating a set of retelling cards for one of my favorite winter stories, The Jacket I Wear in the Snow. We will be reading this story our first week back after vacation and although I already have some retelling cards, I wanted to update them (and fix the peeling laminating film!). You can find these cards on my Teacher’s Pay Teachers site. 🙂

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie

Nov 8

Posted by Kristen Poindexter

Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite times of year! I love reading the stories about the old ladies who swallowed different things to my kiddos, but There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie has got to be my favorite! I got my file out on Monday to plan for next week and by today, it’s disappeared! I have no idea where it is, but I’m hoping that it returns tomorrow! I’ve probably put it in a safe place (I have lots of those). 😦

In the file were all my props for retelling the story, so I had to make some new ones. I have some older ones posted on my blog from the last few years, but I was feeling the need to create a new old lady and update her a little. I found these great graphics from Scrappin Doodles and decided to make a new set of props.
