Mr. Grinch Day 8

Today we got a message from Mr. Grinch. He said he felt better and helped himself to a cup of coffee. He told us to come and find him, if we knew where he was. Sarah thought he might be in the staff room. So, Nate asked Ms. Strickland for permission to go into the staff room and look for him. We all walked into the staff room and spotted Mr. Grinch on a table with Ms.Nevieris coffee.

Mr. Grinch Day 7





When we got into the classroom, Mr. Grinch was sitting on Ms. Nevieri's pink chair with kleenexstuffed up his nose. We think he must be sick! Nate, Leeland, mason and Brycen made him some snowflakes to make him feel better. Here are some things we do when we are sick: 
Alexander- make chicken soup
Leeland- I eat chicken noodle soup and sleep 
Cody- I don't eat as much as I normally do 
Carson - I take little drinks of water and eat things that are easy on my stomach 
Zoe- watch tv, play my iPod and mom makes me mr. Noodles 
Nate- my mom gives me chicken noodle soup 
Atok- my mom takes me to bed 
Mason- my mom makes soup and usually watch The Grinch 
Trinity-I sleep 
Sam- my mom tries her hardest to make me feel better 
William- my mom makes me mushroom soup 
Sarah- I take a nap, it helps me 
Xander- I eat chicken noodle soup 
Ethan- I take a bath 
Cruz- I use a magic mask 
Odin- watch tv 
Lexie- my mom makes me chicken noodle soup and I lay inbed 
Brycen - I eat chicken noodle soup and it makes me feel better 
Isabella- I eat chicken noodle soup and then rest in my bedroom

Mr. Grinch Day 6

This morning we found Mr. Grinch sitting with some friends playing Trouble. We figured he got lonely and bored this weekend and decided to play with Franky (our class monster) and Guido (our class singing dog). We wondered if maybe the Grinch gave Franky and Guido magic too? We can't wait to see what he's up to tomorrow!

Mr. Grinch Day 5

Hello! Today we found Mr. Grinch in a candy cane bath on Ms. Nevieri's blue chair. He was hiding behind her desk, so it was a little tricky to find him this morning. He charges 50 cents for a candy cane bath! 
Here are some things that we would like to bathe in:
- mashed potatoes 
- honey (because I would get stuck and wouldn't have to go school)
- pepperoni sticks (they're tasty and spicy)
- toys (so I can open them up)
- chicken (because I like to eat chicken)
- eggnog (it's my favourite drink) 
- buttermilk (I like butter)
- whipped cream with ice cream (I'd get a brain freeze)
- chocolate (so I can eat it)
- tootsie pops (they are awesome and sweet)
- chocolate (because I'm in love with it)
- bacon (it's tasty)
- spaghetti and meatballs (because I love the meatballs)
- hot chocolate (because then I can be toasty and warm)
- chocolate (because I can lick the bathtub clean)

Mr. Grinch Day 4

To what surprise did we walk into today! This morning...Mr. Grinch was STILL tied up! A few of us decided it might be a nice act of kindness to snip the ribbon that he was tied up with! When we got back his afternoon, we found that Mr. Grinch was out of his seat, sitting on our bookshelf and had set up a little tree! He left us a note telling us how he overheard how kind we've been! Since he was so naughty, he wrote that he wanted to make up for his bad behaviour, so that's why he put a Christmas tree up for us! He also wanted to know what else he could do to make it up to us. We brainstormed a few ideas: make us hot chocolate, give us manicures, decorate the classroom and much, much more!

Mr. Grinch Day 3

This morning we came into our classroom and we saw Mr. Grinch tied up onto the chair. We noticed that he finished his lollipop during the night. But where were the pencils? Ms. Nevieri got an email from a very angry Grinch last night. He said that he was sitting in the closet, minding his own business waiting for the adults to leave. Then he said he got a little tired and must have fallen asleep. He said he woke up and someone in a ski mask had tied him to the chair! Here is who we think it could be:
1. Mr. Iwan (our night cleaner)
2. Mr. Menishen our daytime janitor 
3. Mr. Spiers 
4. The librarian - Ms. Branco 
5. Mrs White, our principal 
6. Ms Nevieri (although she promises it wasnt her because she had a staff meeting after school). 
7. Our neighbours, Room 15
And someone thinks sneaky Jason from grade 1

We wonder what will happen tomorrow!

Mr. Grinch Day 2

Well when we came into the classroom this morning, Mr. Grinch was exactly where we left him yesterday. By the afternoon, when we came back from lunch, we noticed that he had disappeared! We decided we would start our reading period first, and then hunt him down! Once reading was over, Ms. Nevieri had all the students searching high and low! Nate finally found him in Ms. Nevieri's closet!! Look what the sneaky guy was doing! He also left us a nasty note, telling us that "stealing was his game." We talked about how he can't take the home reading rewards....that he had to earn them by doing his home reading job first! We can't believe it! We wonder what shenanigans he'll be up to next!

Mr. Grinch Day 1

Today we started The Curious Adventures of Mr. Grinch.
Today we found him on the back bookshelf! He took one of Ms. Nevieri's books, made himself comfortable and settled in! We wondered why he showed up and what his big plans are. 
We will journal his adventures each day in our special log books.
Here's what our ideas are as to why we think he's here and what he might do: 
- because he likes magic
- he is seeing if we are good or bad 
- because he wants to watch us 
- because he might steal Christmas from us if we're not good 
- he froze and pretended to be a stuffed animal 
- he wants to steal Christmas again 
- he's here to watch us so we won't be bad 
- he's here to follow us home 
- keep us on our best behaviour 
- he's here to keep an eye on us
