Now that Mr. Grinch's heart has grown 3-sizes, he will be around people more often. He needs to learn more manners. He has learned to be kind and not to steal Christmas but what about covering his coughs and sneezes? How about sharing and taking turns? Looking at and listening to someone when they are talking to you? And most definitely using magic words like 'please' and 'thank you!' These manners will definitely help Mr. Grinch. Will you help us teach him? You will be able to make your own Mr. Grinch that you can turn upside down to show his grumpy face and right side up to show his happy face. You will be able to see how having good manners can make us, our parents, our friends, and our teachers happy! Speaking of teachers, we will definitely want to practice our letter of the class! For this class it will be 'M' for Mister, manners, magic, merry, and more. Mr. Grinch also likes singing now and he would love to hear you sing your abc's and find where that letter 'M' is. Mr. Grinch really likes the letter 'M' because it is the first letter in his name! Mr. Grinch thought, "Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store, Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more!" In this class, we will learn about how good manners can help everyone feel that "little bit more" kind of feeling this Christmas!

Other Details
Supply List
Printout "Upside Down Smile Frown" activity sheet on either green paper or color it green before class. Cut it out before class. Optional additional items are an extra sheet of green paper and a brad. I am going to encourage the students to do the "Grow Mr. Grinch's Heart" science experiment after class. If you want your child to do this experiment, you will need a cheap disposable plastic water bottle 1/4 filled with vinegar, a green balloon, a red marker, and 2 spoonfuls of baking soda.
