Polar Express Day!

Kindergarteners in Mrs. Carey's and Ms. Coolidge's class celebrated "Polar Express Day" by wearing their pajamas to school. Mrs. Moody (The Elf) was invited to read the book, The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg, to the children. In the story all the children ride the "Polar Express" to the North Pole to visit Santa Claus. Inside the train the children enjoyed hot cocoa and chocolate nuggets. So...a kindergarten friend thought to bring in chocolate nuggets from Kennebec Chocolates to share with all the students. Students then lined up, held hands, and "choo chooed" down the hallway as they pretended to become the "Polar Express". All the children truly enjoyed experiencing this piece of literature which also earned the Caldecott Award!
