Today Room 20 celebrated Grinch Day!
That means that for the whole day we learned through Grinch themed activities.
We began by reading the classic story, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" by Dr. Seuss. We then brainstormed some words that would describe the Grinch, or adjectives for the Grinch. After doing a whole group brainstorm, students returned to their spots to do their own brainstorming.
Our next activities were Math focused. With a partner, students played two different Grinch themed Math games and worked on a mystery picture using a number chart.
Our afternoon was filled with more Grinchish activities. We focused once again on Math, but this time with Grinch problem solving. We made problem solving booklets, then students worked on seven Grinch word problems.
Next we had Gym (which was unfortunately not Grinch themed). The last activities on our day's agenda were making a Grinch kabob for a snack then finishing our day by watching the cartoon movie. Students each made a kabob with a green grape, strawberry, banana piece, and a white marshmallow. The idea was that they would like like the Grinch wearing a Santa hat. They turned out pretty cute and were quite yummy!
