Today was obviously Grinch day! For morning work they got to create Grinch masks that we taped to popsicle sticks! They loved it and were very creative in saying that whenever I read the word Grinch in the book they would hold their masks up over their faces! I loved the idea!
The next project we did was to come up with Grinchy Adjectives- in other words words that described what the grinch is like!
We also listed adjectives that described the Grinch's heart. My students did a great job at listing adjectives about his heart at the beginning and at the end of the movie knowing his heart grew throughout the book and movie! What smart students I have.
Next, we did a writing prompt inside the Grinch's mouth that said, "I would make a Grinch grin by..." and they had to fill in the blanks. They did an amazing job at the things they would do to make him smile. Another activity we did was creating similes to describe the Grinch's heart or the Grinch altogether. The example I gave them was that the Grinch's heart was as small as a mouse, and they came up with more creative ones than I did!! I love how well they did at creating their Grinch's faces! I can't wait to do this day again next year and even do it better!
