Kindergarteners become part of the Story - and Whoville at LES

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.
