The Grinch

Before Christmas, we completed a mini Grinch Unit. 

First, we read The Grinch. Our critters helped us figure out the elements, the main idea and they helped us summarize the story. Then we completed a Grinch craft where we brainstormed adjectives to describe the Grinch.

The Grinch

Last week, we completed a mini Grinch Unit. 

First, we read The Grinch. Our critters helped us figure out the elements, the main idea and they helped us summarize the story. 

Next, we used adjectives to describe The Grinch.

Then, we had Grinch themed center time! 

On Friday, our elf brought us the ingredients to make Grinch punch and pudding! We watched the pudding change from a liquid to a solid. 

Grinch Party!

"And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas perhaps, means a little bit more."

Today was our Grinch party! It was a busy, fun-filled day!

First, we showed off our costumes! Some students dressed in green, some dressed as the Grinch and some dressed up as Whos! "Max" even came for a visit!

Tucker was spoiled with Christmas gifts and cuddles! Thank you everyone for the kind gifts.

In the morning we rotated through 6 centers. 

Center 1: Colour by number.

Center 2: Making Grinch dust! What two colours make green? 

Center 3: Name as many green things as you can/Grinch wordsearch! 

Center 4: Making Grinch grime!

Center 5: Making Grinch cookies.

Center 6: Grinch high/low game/Put the Grinch words in alphabetical order. 

In the afternoon we made Grinch punch and watched The Grinch!
