Polar Express...with some reindeer!

As the Christmas holiday grows near...we are prepping in our class! This week we celebrated the Polar Express...a true Christmas Classic! We also incorporated reindeer with the letter Rr!

Thursday...
Our special visitors from Earth & Fire visited us! We were able to make some beautiful ornaments and priceless memories!






All tied up! I will explain later! Don't worry...this isn't typical LAP protocol! ha!

Our special train snack!

Ordering our names to make our train engine have train cars! I found that this was challenging for a few. It is important to work on left to right ordering. An easy way to work on this is write the kiddos name and give them the letters of their name and have them match it.

Perfect name train car!

Our sweet Rudolph!

Sweet friends helping one another!
Friday...
I love this activity for so many reasons! Stringing beads=fine motor! Red,White, Red, White=AB patterning! And learning the true meaning of the candy cane=Priceless!

Look at the Candy Cane
What do you see?
Stripes that are red
Like the blood shed for me
White is for my Savior
Who’s sinless and pure!
“J” is for Jesus My Lord, that’s for sure!
Turn it around
And a staff you will see
Jesus my shepherd
Was born for Me!

Making Hot Chocolate paint. This includes, shaving cream, glue, and hot chocolate packets! I had to remind the kiddos not to eat this...there was only 1 who gave it a try! Yikes...I know they won't do that again!

We made masterpieces with this dandy concoction!

We can't have a Polar Express day without Trains! These boys are a team of future engineers! 

Hmmm...this could be part of the reason we were all tied up! You will find out soon enough!

We have our tickets to ride!

Got to get it punched in order to get on!


cookies and hot cocoa are a must (don't forget whipped cream and peppermint marshmallows!)


We watched the "hot chocolate scene" of Polar Express and read the story that began it all!
A must read!

Just look at us in our jammies! We also received bells...and we could hear them ring! We truly believe!

a helpful hint that I sent home to each of you!
