Whoville has sprung off
the pages of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and taken form as a
model village at Liberty Elementary School.
Dr. Seuss’s holiday classic was re-created by LES kindergarteners,
with each student turned into a “Who” and even the Grinch, who can
be found hiding out in Mount Crumpit.
Each kindergarten class read the story together, focusing on
characters, setting and plot – the three main parts of a story. “The
project gave the kids a chance to learn about story structure, while
also putting their creative sides to work,” says Kindergarten
Teacher Rachel Countryman. “It was a great way to utilize a popular
holiday story in an academic way, while still making it a LOT of
fun.”
Whoville is on display in the kindergarten wing of Liberty
Elementary School through the holidays.
