Today was Polar Express Day in our classroom! After a busy morning or reading groups, Gym class, and an Elvis concert, we spent our afternoon taking part in a variety of Polar Express themed stations.
We began by reading the classic story by Chris Van Allsburg.
We then began our 9 stations. Students chose in which order they wanted to complete the stations. There was a craft station to make a reindeer ornament, a station where you made a golden ticket (that must be kept for tomorrow), a Polar Express math game, an addition equation matching station, hot chocolate graphing, and more!
Here are some pictures from our fun (and messy!) afternoon. Click on images to enlarge them.
Tomorrow we will finish our celebration by watching the Polar Express movie, while drinking hot chocolate of course! By showing Mrs. Deyoe the golden ticket, students will get a cup of hot chocolate to enjoy while watching the movie. Of course everyone will get this special treat regardless of whether they still have their ticket, but they don't know that yet!
Room 20 would like to wish all our wonderful families a merry holiday season and a happy new year!
We will see you next year!
