I lOVE Polar Express week! It just gets you in the Christmas spirit! The Polar Express is such a good story reminding us to believe in Christmas no matter how old we are! :) Here are some pictures of our week in reverse order. The first several are from today where we "rode" on the Polar Express and wore our PJ's just like the kids in the story. Enjoy!
Our silly faces
Our big cheeses :)
Hot cocoa, marshmallows and a candy cane. Yummy!
"The first gift of Christmas!" (from the story...we all got bells).
Our tickets
We are artists! Check out these fabulous drawings.
Using the hole punchers on the golden tickets that said "Believe" like the movie. This gives us good fine motor practice and is fun!
Different thread spools make great tire tracks and snowflakes! We added a sentence that said, "I can see a ____" to describe what we might see on the way to the North Pole. This makes us a writer and a reader!
Great job girls!
On Tuesday, the class Christmas tree came out and we all got to decorate it.
Looking good friends!
Each car of this train has a letter in our last name
Pattern blocks not only made our trains this week, but many other pictures.
Just having a little reading time. :)
Of course we had to set up the train tracks for this week.
We used pattern blocks to make a train then graphed which shapes we used. Wow! We worked on spatial reasoning, colors, counting, shape recognition, graphing and determining which had the most and least. We are smarties for sure!
What a fun week using literature to make so many connections! We can't wait for next week to have fun with our new theme, Gingerbread.
