Cindy Thompson’s third graders experienced Christmas this year with a week of discovery through the pen of Dr. Seuss and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” With similes and metaphors, observations of character traits in Mr. Grinch, as well as cause and effects in the book, students were challenged with a quote “Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store?
