Time to be the Grinch

Help me give my students Grinch decor to have a full STEAM day of learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Finocchiaro's classroom raised $170

This project is fully funded

My Project

My First Graders love coming to school each day. They especially love hands-on activities that require lots of extra supplies, but provide them with lots of fun learning. I thought to myself why not combine STEAM with Grinch Day for a whole lot of fun!

This project means that my students will be able to rotate through various hands-on centers that will provide them with a full day of STEAM activities all themed around The Grinch.

We will read the book and then students will be able to create 3D art with the ornaments, solve math problems, and create a Christmas tree and presents for the sweet Cindy Lou out of the playdough. It will be a truly remarkable way to head into our winter break.

Thank you for taking the time to read my project and consider donating!
