Students send Grinch Grams, a gift of words, this holiday season to their classmates. They learn that words have the power to make hearts grow — just like the Grinch’s heart grew. Have them draw classmates’ names. Give each student a heart. The hearts on my bulletin board are made with die cuts that I triple layered (red, gold, and white) to symbolize how the Grinch’s heart grew three sizes. You certainly can do this, but if you want to save class time, download "Grinch Gram Hearts" to use in your classroom.

It was an envelope and inside of this envelope was a strip of paper containing notable characteristics of the respective student. When I opened mine, it read “—thoughtful and extremely perceptive of others and her environment. She is intelligent and has varied interests and opinions that hardly anyone knows about. She is an excellent student and a loyal friend.” Though I did not consider the significant meaning of these words at the time, when the paper resurfaced a few years later, I read the paper again, this time with deeper reflection. To this day, I am amazed by how accurate my teacher was in describing
