Foothills Elementary

When I mention "GRINCH" what do you think of? 
 
The book and movie "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" written by Dr. Seuss. 
 
We found another animated movie about the Grinch.  It is called Halloween is Grinch Night.  We showed this movie the week before Christmas when the children don't check out books.  It was 23 minutes long.
 
This is the information we shared with the children about the Grinch movies.
----------------------------
The book "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" was written by Dr. Seuss in 1957.  Dr. Seuss produced the movie in 1966.  
 
On October 29, 1977 Dr. Seuss produced another animated Grinch movie that aired on ABC.  It was called "Halloween is Grinch Night".  It won an Emmy for Outstanding Animated Production. 
 
Then in 1982 Dr. Seuss produced another Grinch movie which won 2 Emmy awards.  We're going to try and show this on Dr. Seuss Day over the system.
-------------------------------------
All the kids were surprised, as I was, to hear of other Grinch movies because we usually associate it with just one about Christmas.
 
Have a Grinchy Merry Christmas.!!
