You can't celebrate the Christmas season without recognizing the king of mischief, Mr. Grinch! Of course, we don't celebrate the fact that he was cunning and mean... rather, we celebrate how he was able to strengthen his heart and make it grow 3 sizes bigger on Christmas Day by giving back to the Who's. How could we have our students give back to one another and make their own hearts grow? Our grade level team decided to bring that lesson into our classroom by making a class Grinch and decorating our Grinch with hearts full of random acts of kindness! The holiday season is all about love and making others feel loved. Check out how kind our little friends are (we are continuing giving hearts for acts of kindness up until the last day of break!)
We incorporated the Grinch into our entire day- from reading to math! Tons of grinchy fun was had by all. Our classes brainstormed ways to make the Grinch grin, solved Grinch math problems, read different stories, had a special Grinch punch for snack, and even were able to watch the movie that afternoon! Last, but not least.... THE GRINCH EVEN CAME TO VISIT US!!!!! What a great day to be in kindergarten!

This writing piece simply warms my heart!
"To make the Grinch grin, I would give him a family." |
We still have many more Christmas ideas up our sleeves, so stayed tuned!
