Grinch Fun

Students enjoyed our thematic fun with activities from the story of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.  This is a great story that lent itself to lots of great conversation on many things that can be gifted without having to purchase it in a store to help warm someone's heart.  Some of the great examples students shared were spending time with someone, sharing a toy and making something special as a gift to give.  We challenged ourselves to exhibit random acts of kindness and also to recognize others showing kindness.  Last, in the classroom, we had fun brainstorming ways we could get the Grinch to grin as well!

 Here are some of the ways a First Grader could get the Grinch to grin:
*Make him a Christmas meal
*Sing him a song and act out a puppet show
*Give him a candy cane to eat
*Read him his favorite story
*Clean his house

Students worked hard to add a heart to the Grinch door as they noticed someone showing an act of kindness to another friend!
