Polar Express Trains

In class we read the story The Polar Express. Liam Neeson read the story and I turned the pages :) 

After we read the story we had a discussion about what had happened, added MANY connections students had to The Polar Express, and of course brought up Santa. Then we continued with a sequence activity and train building. The students had twelve scenes from the book they had to read and put in order. Before gluing, we double check our order together then pasted each down to make each pair a train car. The students were able to design their own train cars and use parts to build the engine. Their creativity came out as always! You will see these coming home this weekend.
