Polar Express

This day is a favorite for EVERYONE - our Polar Express celebration!  The activities are based around a favorite book for the holiday season.  In the afternoon, right after recess the boys and girls change into their PJ's and are greeted by the "conductor".  The boys and girls find their seat with their ticket on the "Polar Express".  I punch their tickets, check my pocket watch and read the story Polar Express to the class.  After the story, we drink hot chocolate and stir them with candy canes while we munch on some delicious Christmas cookies.  A very cold package mysteriously arrives to our classroom and inside is a train whistle, some magic reindeer food and a silver bell for each student.  We then finish our afternoon with some great Polar Express related fun!!!  What a GREAT afternoon!  Can't beat the smiles!!!


Making our elf donuts.  Cheerios dipped in almond bark and decorated with sprinkles.



We made these Santa bags in the morning.


All aboard the Polar Express!!!
