Mrs. Whaley's Kindergarten: December 2012

Grinch Day

Grinch Headbands and Craftivity

We made Grinch headbands from a Grinch mask activity at seussville.com.

We made the Grinch craftivity, "To make the Grinch grin I would...."

The 100 chart and hi lo game below came from firstgradewow.blogspot.com. Click here for the unit.

100 Chart Grinch

We identified numbers and colored them in on a 100 chart to reveal a picture of the Grinch.

Grinch and Max Hi Lo Number Game

Students guessed numbers on a number line.

Grinch Cupcakes

We had delicious Grinch cupcakes. (Thank you Miss Brook!)

Grinch Card Game

We played a Grinch site word card game (similar to "Crash!")

Christmas Syllables

We sorted picture cards by the number of syllables. We placed the picture cards in labeled stockings.

After sorting the picture cards, we completed a star syllable sheet. We said the name of our kindergarten friend, clapped to see how many syllables are in the name, and placed star stickers under the picture to show how many syllables are in the name.

If You Take a Mouse to the Movies

Before reading the book, "If You Take a Mouse to the Movies" by Laura Numeroff, we generated ideas and created an anchor chart to list what the mouse would ask for at the movies.

After reading the story we created this cute craftivity.

Mooseltoe

Mooseltoe

After reading the book, "Mooseltoe" by Margie Palatini, we created our own Mooseltoe problem and solution craftivity. Found the wonderful idea at Mrs. T's First Grade Class blog.
