On Thursday, Dec. 17 we learned all about the book the Polar Express. We read the book, did several Polar Express activities, and we even got to watch the movie!

We even got to take a trip on the Polar Express!The Kindergarten teachers lined up our chairs in the hallway while we weren't looking. While we were in our room working on sequencing the things that happened in the story, we heard train whistle all of a sudden! Next we heard a man yell, "All Aboard!". We were so excited. We grabbed our Polar Express train tickets and boarded the train! (The lights were even off in the hallway so it seemed like nighttime, just like in the book.) Once aboard, the conductor (Mr. Muhlenkamp) punched our tickets so we could ride the Polar Express. Then the conductor read the book to us!
Here are some pictures of the conductor (Mr. Muhlenkamp) read the story to us aboard the Polar Express and punching our train tickets...
