All Aboard!

Woo hoo! Our final week before break is here! I am so excited about this week. This week we will be using a holiday classic, The Polar Express to drive our literacy instruction. We will use the book to practice sequencing, cause & effect, rhyming, counting syllables, and character traits.

We will wrap up our unit on Friday with a viewing of The Polar Express movie. I will be asking for parents who are willing to contribute pop-corn, hot chocolate, and other fun treats for our movie. I am also looking for parents who would be available to help out Friday afternoon from 12:30-3:45 to pop pop-corn or brew and serve hot chocolate. If you are available to pop-in or stay, any additional help would be great.

I am also encouraging students to wear their pajamas for the day, like the children in the story. Please remember that if the weather permits we will be going outside for recess, so also think about warmth.

Thank you all so much and I look forward to sharing some pictures of our Polar Express experience this week.
