This week we are going to officially read The Polar Express. The past week we've been reading various pages for text to self connections as well as visualizing. We talked a lot about when the boy lost the bell and how he felt. There were many connections to themselves about losing something or feeling upset about something being lost on accident or being careless. This week, we will read the story from beginning to end. Each day we will reflect on what we've read and write, kind of like journaling with prompts. They will write about how they would feel or how they would react to some of the same situations that happen to the little boy. They will get an opportunity to share out their own experiences similar to this past week with our connections. After a week of really exploring the book (if they can get it together :) we will watch the movie on Friday morning and they'll get to wear their PJ's and drink hot chocolate with candy cane stirrers!
