THE HAT CLASS BOOK

Students will fill in the writing template, offering their opinion of whether or not animals should wear clothes. When completed, assemble into a fun class book. This will be a student favorite in your classroom library!

THE HAT CRAFT

Two crafts offer differentiation for your classroom needs. The first one is a simple fill in the blank template. The second has space for students to write a story retell or write about their favorite part of The Hat. The craftivities make a great winter bulletin board display to showcase student learning.
