A Grinchy Monday!

It is hard to believe that we are one week away from Christmas break! In honor of the upcoming Christmas season, first grade this week is going to be reading Christmas stories and completing a project that relates to it. Today, we read How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Afterwards, we made grinches and drew how we could make the Grinch grin. The students came up with some great ideas including singing to him, giving him presents, and giving him a hug. 

I also thought it would be nice to make our classroom look more festive, so we decorated a small Christmas tree today. The students did a great job decorating it. The tree brings a little sparkle to the room. What do you think?
