Saint Nicholas Day!
Saint Nicholas surprised us by placing special gifts in our shoes! We placed our shoes in the hallway and waited for Saint Nicholas to come! What a fun day!
The students have been working on a mini unit about the story, Polar Express! We pretended to be passengers on the train and drew pictures of what we would see if we looked out the window on the train! We saw wild animals, the forest, and tall snow-covered mountains! The students are fantastic illustrators and story tellers!
POLAR EXPRESS DAY!
We ended our unit by having a Polar Express day where the students wore their pajamas and we watched the movie!
"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care..."
