This is our last week before Christmas break! We have lots of exciting things happening this week!
Grinch Week
This week is Grinch Week down in first grade! We are getting super grinchy this week by doing a book study on How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Grinch art and science experiments, and Grinch math activities. On Friday, December 20th, we will have a Grinch Celebration by having a pajama party, have grinch snacks, and we will be watching the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas (We will be watching the 2000 version with Jim Carrey. Please let me know if you do not want your child to participate in this movie).Thank you to the families that already donated supplies for our Grinch Week. We are still in need of someone to donate Grinch themed cupcakes (they don't need to be fancy -- they can be just green cupcakes or red and green cupcakes). Thank you for helping make this week a fun one! 😊
