Today we started a book study with, How The Grinch Stole Christmas. We used clues from the book to make a character sketch. We discussed The Grinch's traits and we talked about why an author would want us to know so much about a character. We also discussed the four main directions and made a map of Whoville to practice using the directions: north, south, east and west. Finally, in math we used a real world example with Base-10 blocks... pennies and dimes. The dimes represent the longs and the pennies represent the cubes. We practiced making exchanges with our pennies and dimes. No one wants to have 100 pennies in their pocket! :))
