Check out these 7 unique projects that will engage your students in
learning and writing about the life of Dr Seuss.
Dr. Seuss is one of the most popular children's authors of all time and his Christmas story featuring The Grinch is a favorite of both kids
and adults. His message that "Maybe Christmas," he thought "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas,
perhaps, means a little bit more." is timeless.
After you have read your students this story, they will enjoy completing a fun activity related to Dr. Seuss' book. I have created
a flip booklet and I designed the templates for this unique project in the shape of the Grinch's head.
