Polar Express Day

The Polar Express came to Bemis today and took our Kindergarten kids on quite an adventure!  When children arrived to school they were given a train ticket.  They pretended to lay down and sleep and then when they heard the train whistle blow, they woke up and boarded our "train."  They were cozy and warm in their pajamas and carrying stuffed animals.  We retold the story of the Polar Express as we pretended to journey to the north pole.  The boys and girls watched the holiday movie on the train and even stopped for a popcorn break.  At the end of our trip the Polar Express brought us back to Bemis where the children received a bell necklace similar to the bell at the end of the story.  The boys and girls had a magical day bringing this favorite story to life!
