Polar Express

We started off the month of January finishing up our learning centers based on the book Polar Express. The students had a wonderful time planning their trip from Schleswig to the North Pole, writing about their own magical train ride, learning about the author Chris VanAllsburg, performing a readers' theater of the story, and many more! Take a look at some of what we did!

  1. I appreciate the multiple thematic learning opportunities, most of which have the students 'creating'.
