Today was Grinch Day in 1st grade. Our school has four first grade classes so we set up a rotation where each teacher does a different project or activity in their room and we switch the different classes of students every 30 minutes. It really makes the morning go fast and the kids think it's cool to go to a different classroom with a different teacher.
The kids could dress up for the day and wow did they get creative! We had a couple of Who's, a lot of green and even a dog/reindeer with one horn.
The project that I did in my room was a Pintrest favorite from A Cupcake for the Teacher.
For the next activity the teacher had them make a present and on the inside wrote the phrase from the book: Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more. The students have to write about something special at Christmas that isn't related to the gifts. They turned out really cute!
Another classroom collected a bunch of different Grinch themed worksheets and made a little fun packet for the kids to work on. The final teacher did a grouchy Grinch activity. We took pictures of our students ahead of time hold the Grinch and making a grouchy face. The kids had to write about a time when they were grouchy.
Of course we read the book and watched the movie, too :-)
The teachers even got in on the fun!
What a good lookin' group of gals!
