Grinch Day

On Thursday, December 17th the fourth graders celebrated Grinch Day.



The students started the day by creating Grinch masks to be worn at the whole-school Christmas assembly during which they will recite How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss with the help of our fifth grade friends.


Our next activity was to describe "A Gift Money Can't Buy." Students wrote a paragraph about a gift of special meaning to them that they could give to a family member or friend.





After lunch, students enjoyed some Grinch punch and a candy cane (thanks to all of you who sent them in!) while watching an afternoon matinee of How the Grinch Stole Christmas starring Jim Carrey.


"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store. 
Maybe Christmas . . . perhaps . . . means a little bit more."
~Dr. Seuss.
