How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Next week in language arts classes, we are learning a technique called “close reading.” To introduce the concept and make it engaging, we are studying the song, “Where Are You Christmas?” by Faith Hill. As part of the close read, we will view the music video by Faith Hill and a scene from How the Grinch Stole Christmas where Cindy Lou Who sings the song. We would love to celebrate the end of our unit by viewing the movie in its entirety. I hope you will allow your student to watch as we see how the song fits in to the story of the Grinch!
