Grinch Day!

Yesterday was Grinch Day in first grade and we had so much fun!  If you are familiar with the story, the Who's in Whoville help the Grinch's heart grow three times its size!  Here, in first grade, we started our Grinch Day with a reading of How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss. read to the tune of an accordion played by a first-grader's grandfather!

As part of our Grinch Day, we did lots of grinchy activities, including a guided drawing of the Grinch and some Grinch math.

Then, we each  made a card to help another first grader's heart grow three times its size!  Inside each card was a kind message or picture to share with a first grade friend.  We stood in a circle and passed the cards until the music stopped.  Whatever card you were holding was the one just for you!  We had so much fun and watching each first grader spread kindness to one another on Grinch Day certainly helped my heart to grow three times its size!

From 1-Thomson, we wish you a very happy holiday and a happy New Year.  Merry Grinchmas!
