Polar Express

Earlier this week we read The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. Well, actually we listened to it at storylineonline.net. Anyhow, the story was the first stop on our Polar Express adventure. Over the last two days the students have been completing learing centers related to the book. Each time they complete a center they get a punch on their ticket. It's been a fun and engaging way to spend the days leading up to Christmas break!
